I am a little touched and so happy by my performance on my MBA, and I just want to say thank you to…read moreForum staff for teaching me and prepare me so well! I graduate from Forum 3 months ago. Immediately I started my MBA. A few weeks ago, I was able to summarize 35 pages from one chapter into 6 pages, and I was so proud of myself. I got the highest grade! Yesterday, I delivered one of my final assessments about reading a book of managerial economics and explaining it in 5 pages. I read a book with 250 pages using scanning and skimming techniques, and I summarized it into 12 pages at the beginning. In the end, I delivered a paper with 5 pages as my teacher requested! Besides that, I did a PPT presentation about a Harvard case study that I already analyzed trough those techniques, and I had to record myself no more than 10 minutes explaining the case with my slides. I got 200/200! It remains me of my Forum presentations. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Forum for everything! I know that I have been working hard studying, however, it wouldn't happen without your help with my English skills! The best English school ever!

Took a Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Exam here. The Proctors were friendly and…read moreprofessional, but unfortunately they do not get the support they need from the IT and Admin staff in order to offer these exams in a timely manner. The first time I took the exam, the Proctor spent an hour trying to get in contact with a member of FCPS's IT staff to get the license for the software needed to take my exam. This delay definitely took me off my game, and may have been a contributing factor to my failing of the exam by one question. For my retake, it was discovered while I was waiting for the exam that PC used to proctor the exam had not been updated, and would take until after 9pm at night to finish updating. Luckily, the Proctor was willing to come in on her off day so that I could take the exam before my certification deadline. In addition, scheduling the exams were a massive pain, with the admin staff in charge of registration often transferring my call to a person not in the office, resulting in having to play phone tag for over an hour in order to get the exam scheduled each time. Although the Proctors were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond the call of duty, the lack of support from the rest of FCPS's Adult and Community Education staff proved to be extremely detrimental to my experience, which is why I must give them a 2 star review. Until this situation changes, I can not recommend FCPS's ACE program to anyone.

I looked forward to being around people who enjoyed teaching English, and meeting students from all around the world. If I ever came across a family member or friend who needed English support, I would definitely send them here as well. From a volunteer perspective, the Center provides so much support and training for its teachers (who do not need to be professional teachers, so this helps), including a ready-made curriculum and textbooks. Though I've been an ESL tutor in the past, having this institutional support was important for me as I wanted to be well-prepared for my students. The teaching set-up also requires each class to be taught by two teachers, which is very helpful! The students come from all around the world and have many different reasons for being in the program. I loved laughing with them, learning from them (as well as my co-teachers!!), and even learning a few things about the English language myself.

I had heard good things about Lango, but unfortunately we won't be enrolling our children because…read moreof their mandatory Media Release policy, which must be accepted in order to register. For reference, the policy states: "I GIVE PERMISSION FOR MY CHILD TO HAVE HIS/HER VIDEO OR PICTURE TAKEN WHILE PARTICIPATING IN LANGO NORTHERN VIRGINIA ACTIVITIES. I AM AWARE THAT THESE VIDEO PICTURES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE WEBSITE, NEWSLETTERS, FLYERS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND/OR ANY OTHER PUBLICATION REGARDING LANGO NORTHERN VIRGINIA ACTIVITIES." I understand that organizations want photos and videos to promote their programs, but I don't think parents should have to forfeit control over how their children's images are used just to participate. Especially with AI and the risks associated with it, this feels like an area where families should have more control. An opt-out option should be offered. Because this policy kept us from registering, I'm leaving a low rating. This isn't a reflection of the program itself, which I've heard good things about. It's simply a policy that doesn't work for our family and one that I hope they reconsider.

When we got there, the education director told my wife and son that she had no time to talk to her. After they came back to the car, I went to ask as well. We were shocked at the rude reception. It's safe to say we will not be sending our child to the school.

I joined the in-person French classes offered by the French Academy approximately 3 months ago. The classes are taught by native French speakers, are offered weekly for 1.5 hours and there are a small number of students per class. This is superb as it allows for more individual attention - which focuses on our reading out loud, speaking and pronunciation, as well as grammar when needed. The subjects we have covered and discussed have been very current and I love that we learn a lot in regard to present day French culture and living. Its a fun way to learn and I look forward to my weekly classes. Absolutely recommend!

Class size is limited to 6 people, which is really unique and invaluable - we all get to speak and participate, and get individual attention, at an affordable price. My teacher for both classes was Emmanual, who was terrific. Very thorough and helpful, and very encouraging. The syllabus is focused on using language needed for common daily tasks, while learning grammar along the way. Of course, it's helpful to also use other resources for self-study (eg playing YouTube videos at slow speed, buying a french beginner book etc) for more practice and learning to augment the class work. I intend to take more classes, after taking a couple of months off. The online classes are also very important. I do not want the overhead of driving somewhere, so it's great they provide the option of the online classes. I highly recommend French Academy - the online small class is just what I needed to take the plunge to learn a new language.

I am originally from South Korea and exchanged my Korean driver's license to VA one. So I didn't have driving experience in the states at all and haven't driven for more than 5 years since I got my license in Korea. I wanted to start driving here but I was so nervous and scared. I finally decided to take some driving lessons and contacted almost every single driving schools in Alexandria where I live. None of them answered their phone and replied my email except this 1 Safe Driving School. I went with 10 hours behind wheels lessons and I met my Instructor 5 times on weekend for 2 hours each. They offer pick-up and drop-off service with their practice-car and you will drive that car. I practiced with him from driving around in neighborhood area to how to take a highway including parking lesson. After I finished all the lessons, now I feel more comfortable, confident, and safe while I am driving and I am not scared anymore. So these days, I can drive by my self and I earned a freedom to go wherever I want! Little bit about the instructor whom I practiced with, he was very nice and punctual with our schedule. As I remember, he has more than 8 years experience as a driving school instructor and he knows all most every single road in this area. He can control break while you are practicing even at the passenger sit. I still remember and recall all the advice and lesson he gave me and they are very helpful. (I am still mumbling "look around...look around" when I reverse my car in a parking lot lol) I would recommend this school to my close friends or family. My time and money were worth it. Much better than high chance of getting into an accident which would cost me a lot more. Thanks to Islam again and hope this review is helpful for those who are considering to take this class. Safe Driving! :) Tip 1. Bring your check or cash for your payment Tip 2. Don't go to Eisenhower DMV
