I had my first experience going to the Global Bites tasting at LifePlus' new Sherman Oaks campus,…read moreand it was such a great experience. I've now been to both locations, and while I love the original one, this one really stands out -- it's fresh, inviting, and perfect for a hands-on tasting. The demos were fun to watch, the instructors were super approachable and knowledgeable, and I loved getting to chat with people while tasting so many different dishes. After eight tastings and three desserts, trust me... you won't leave hungry. I'd totally come back, especially since the menu keeps changing.

The Fruit Tart, Cinnamon Swirl Cake, & Biscuits baking class during Mother's Day weekend was by far…read moreone of the favorite classes my mom and I have ever taken, and we've done quite a few! Chef Marc was an absolute delight. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The class framework was thoughtful, engaging, and incredibly well-executed. What truly sets this class apart is the attention to detail. Every aspect of the experience was immaculate, from the clear directions to the venue (complete with a contact number), to the interior setup, comfortable room temperature, and beautifully presented stations. The kitchen tools were high quality, ingredients were neatly laid out with laminated table cards, and even the table settings were on point. And as someone who comes from both an operations and creative background, I have to say: Chef Marc's recipe template is hands-down the best I've seen from any chef-led class. Every detail felt intentional and appreciated, no stone left unturned. Bravo, Chef Marc! This class deserves a standing ovation.

Parents have to check out Mrs. Sopit's STEM class! I took my 3 year old to check it out and we will…read moredefinitely be back. You can tell that each class is thoughtfully prepared so that each child benefits from the activity in a hands on manner. Parents with littles may need to help with some activities but please don't be mislead! They will still benefit from being in an environment which promotes hand eye coordination, labeling, hearing language, being exposed to colors and book reading, tracking which helps attention span, and of course early exposure to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. They are absorbing it all! Mrs. Sopit is so knowledgeable and attentive while making it fun for your child. My son made friends and it was nice to connect with other parents as well.

ACEI deserves zero stars if that were possible. My…read moreexperience with this company has been extremely disappointing and deeply unprofessional. I needed ACEI's services to start a Master's program. After ordering an evaluation of my French diplomas, I later paid for a one-day rush delivery on a Wednesday. The delivery was explicitly guaranteed for Thursday. Instead, it was sent late on Friday--too late for my university recruiter, who had already left for the weekend. ACEI offered nothing more than an apology. No compensation. No accountability. To make matters worse, the following Monday my university recruiter informed me that ACEI had sent only my high school evaluation, completely omitting my bachelor's degree. As a result, my evaluation was unusable. Contacting ACEI is nearly impossible. There is no direct customer service: only a chat powered by a useless AI, emails that are never answered, and a phone line that plays a recorded message telling you to use the chat or email. I spent hours trying to get the rest of my evaluation delivered, with no meaningful assistance. This company is unreliable, unresponsive, and careless with time-sensitive academic documents. Save yourself the stress and take your business elsewhere. UPDATE: ACEI eventually offered a commercial gesture and assured me that the correct documents had been sent. However, my recruiter confirmed that he received only half of the evaluation. At this point, it is impossible to know where the failure lies... I truly wish I had read the other reviews before using their services. There are a lot of one star for a reason Updating my initial review: ACEI deserves one star.

The entire process was straightforward, communication was timely, and everything was completed within the expected timeframe. Most importantly, the evaluation was accepted without any issues, which made the whole process experience stress free. I would highly recommend this company!

My 400th Yelp review!…read more @ReadingtoKids is a grassroots organization that aims to inspire the love of reading to children living in underprivileged areas of Los Angeles. Every second Saturday of the month, volunteers go to different elementary schools in the LA area. At these schools volunteers read books to kids that range in age from kindergarten to fifth grade. (Currently there are seven different elementary schools that Reading to Kids volunteers read at. They are Alta Loma Elementary School, Esperanza Elementary School, Gratts Elementary School, Los Angeles Elementary School, Magnolia Elementary School, Politi Elementary School and White Elementary School). Volunteers come from all walks of life. From students to young professionals, all have a common goal of improving the reading and learning skills of elementary school kids. Reading to Kids volunteers are dedicated to giving these kids the opportunity to succeed in life. At the end of each volunteer session, the kids are given prize books that they can take home. The hope is they can acquire many prize books that will help them further love reading. One of the most endearing moments for me as a volunteer was when at the end of the reading session, a little kindergarten boy came up to me and asked if I could read his prize book to him. As I sat down to read the prize book, more kindergarten kids circled around me and together they listened and pointed to the different pictures in the book. The smiles on the kids faces after was so heartwarming. Soon after one of the parents walked up to me, smiled and said "Thank you." That too was another wonderful moment. Many of the elementary students that come to these reading clubs do not have the privileges that most kids have. They do not have the advantages of having a library, of having a Barnes and Nobles at every corner or of having the latest cell phone. Many come from low income families, they live in impoverished areas and English is their second language. The fortune of these kids comes in attending these Saturday morning reading clubs. These kids go to these reading clubs because they want to learn. They want to succeed. They want the opportunity to have a better life. Seeing these kids so eager to read and to learn, is a humble reminder that learning is a privilege that many take for granted. I love Reading to Kids and I'm thankful to my high school friend who first introduced me to this great volunteering opportunity. The elementary schools kids are simply endearing. I also am amazed by all the good hearted people who volunteer. I am in much admiration of the amount of folks that go out and sacrifice their Saturday mornings to volunteer. (Some stats: Reading to Kids has an average of about 300 plus volunteers reading to an average of 780 plus children every month). I being a volunteer myself know that giving up a Saturday is totally worth it. The opportunity to be able to make a difference in these kids' lives and give them a better chance to succeed in life is simply priceless.

Many moons ago, I worked at a continuation school in Compton. The high school students I worked…read morewith didn't know basic multiplication, had no textbooks and were reading at a 5th grade level. Saddened by how badly the educational system had failed these kids I wanted to do something for them. I wrote a letter to Scholastic and they sent over boxes and boxes of books so we could create a library on campus! Around that time I somehow got on the Reading to Kids e-mail newsletter and have been meaning to get involved. I finally signed up and did it! Here's how easy it is to get involved. -Sign up online -Show up (they provide a light breakfast) -Read to the Kids -Do an arts and crafts project with the kids -Go to El Cholo for free appetizers and meet other volunteers -Repeat once a month You can read to kids from kindergarden to 5th Grade. You read in pairs. You get anywhere from 3-8 kids. It's so easy and these kids are so fun to be with, I think everyone should spend one Saturday a month doing this!
