I studied at Shillington NYC. I can't thank my teachers and the institute enough​ for what they…read morehave given me. It is truly a major accomplishment for Shillington to come up with an incredibly effective and life-changing program that is on par with other four-year college degrees. I was recently invited for interviews at 5 different design graduate programs, and the majority of my portfolio pieces submitted for the application had been projects done at Shillington. Getting this graduate program success wouldn't have been possible without Shillington, my teachers, and Andrew Shillington who dedicate their time to help all the students in making their future! The advice and recommendations I got at Shillington will always be valuable to me as I move forward to another chapter of my life.

Plain and simple, Shillington changed my life in the best way possible…read more I always loved art and creative "stuff", but never thought I could make my passion into a career. After graduating college with a BS in Advertising from Syracuse University, I got a job in NYC at an ad agency as an account exec. While it was an incredible place to work, I felt that something was missing. I realized that the best part of my days were when I got to sit with my creative team or go to brainstorms. It became clear that I needed to go with my gut and try something new. I looked into every single program in New York (and some outside of the city) and found generally only two options, neither of which would work for me. The first was a 2-3 year graduate program at a university like NYU, Parsons, FIT, etc which were way too costly and too big of a time commitment. The second option was one-off classes for continuing education, which seemed more for people who felt like dabbling in an interest of theirs on the side. Not intense enough for me. Then, I found Shillington and I thought...this honestly must not be real. I hadn't seen anything like it. It was literally everything I wanted to learn... in only three months. Turns out it is very real and was hands down the best decision I have ever made in my life. I will not sit here and say it was a walk in the park. It was definitely hard work, but the more you push yourself, the more likely you are to graduate with a portfolio that looks like you went to school for four years. The teachers, all practicing graphic designers, are some of the most incredible people I have ever met. They are talented designers and more importantly, they are passionate about teaching in a way that will help you develop your own style. I can easily say I learned more from my Shillington teachers in 3 months than I ever did from any of my professors in college. The course is set up perfectly so that even if you have never touched a Mac in your life, you can succeed. After having no experience with Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator, I am now sitting in front of a massive Mac desktop as a Graphic Designer for an awesome ad agency in NYC working on cool brands like Nike, BMW, LG, Hennessy, and more. Somebody smack me!!!! If it isn't clear already, Shillington is unbelievable and I do not think there is anything out there like it. DO IT!

I took Manisha's class last year, and it was one of the most brilliant expriences I've had in New…read moreYork City. The class is based on the idea that the best way to learn French is by really feeling what you're saying ... and the best way to really feel what you're saying is by learning to act. So Manisha (who lived and studied acting in Paris) combines both, and she passes on her knowledge to you masterfully. The class is two hours a week: The first half hour you're learning French; the second half, you're acting out scenes from a French play. It really helps that Manisha is warm and welcoming, and the acting games and exercises she incorporates into her teaching really put you at ease. Plus she works on your accent a lot in a way that sticks with you, which I've found other French classes don't do. The class is always full of laughs, and if you apply yourself, you can really learn a lot about both French and acting. And you get a chance to prove it too: The semester ends in a public performance, where all your friends come to see you act in French. Sound scary? I thought so too when I first read about it ... and in fact, it took me weeks to finally gather enough courage to sign up for the class! But I'm glad I did. Not only did i rekindle my love for French and the process of learning languages, but I also discovered the surprising exhilaration of being up on the stage. The best part is, even if you never use your French much after you're done with the class, the acting skills you'll get in Manisha's class you'll take with you everywhere. Because finding out how to connect with yourself and say what you mean the way you mean it will help you in the workplace and in life in general. If New York to you means what it does to me -- and that is pushing your boundaries to grow and always be better -- then this class is where you need to be. It's a wonderful challenge and something that will stay with you forever.

I signed up for this class because the techniques advertised really attracted me to it. Being up on…read moreyour feet playing theater games and not being barked at was very attractive to me. Many of Manisha's ideas are really innovative and creative. Unfortunately, what she has in interesting learning ideas, she lacks in basic lesson planning, and understanding of student comprehension. I signed up for a beginner level class, and ended up in a very mixed group with a larger student to teacher ratio than was advertised. The class was clearly not for a beginner level. In the second class we were conjugating irregular verbs in the past tense. I was a true beginner, and found myself unable to even ask simple questions as other advances students rambled on about me. I found myself so caught up in either not making a fool of myself or not taking time away from the more advanced students that the class became a frustrating waste of my time. I think the main reason for this is that she recommends you take the intro class twice before taking the advanced. That means that you have people who have already experienced an entire course with her mixed in with people who don't speak a word. Manisha, while very passionate about what she does seemed quite scatterbrained at times. Her paperwork was poorly formatted (and not written by her, as she sited websites throughout it) and the material was all over the place giving no consistency to the material. I had a native speaker look at the course materials, and he was completely lost by it and found quite a few grammatical errors. She spent a lot of time telling us how the class and her techniques were good, and not as much time checking in to see how the learning was actually progressing. She also had a native French speaking assistant teacher who was quite lovely (though almost silent for the majority of the class) who she used to check in with on occasion if she didn't know a word. I give Manisha an A for effort and innovation, unfortunately her execution is just not there, and sadly cannot recommend this class to a beginner. It might be great for someone who took a few years of high school french a 10 years ago and was really rusty, but other than that try something else.

This is a great school! I've learned so much, and my language skills have improved tremendously…read more Frank Leone and William have been instrumental in helping me improve my grammar. I'd like to thank William for his encouragement and for the many supplemental worksheets that gave me extra practice. I'm especially grateful to Frank, who generously shared his deep knowledge of English with us. His expertise as a linguist showed me how to direct grammar in a way that most language teacher just don't know. I'm now at the CUNY Graduate Center, and I've seen a big improvement in how well I retain vocabulary and in my ability to work through complex articles by dissecting their sentence structures. For that, I'm eternally grateful to Frank. I'd also like to thank Thitima and Cesar, who were helpful day in, day out and always on top of the logistics. And finally, a big thank-you to Farida, who gave me endless advice and support. I left the school with a much better grasp of American culture and the American political system, and I'm a stronger essay writer, too.

Cat Ho at mbaMission was an exceptional, empathetic, and knowledgeable MBA admissions consultant…read morewho guided me through every step of the application process. From the start, Cat was enthusiastic to understand my personal and professional story. From the intro call up until the last essay, I felt at ease sharing about my upbringing and motivations as if I was catching up with a childhood friend. This comfort helped me express an authentic version of myself through my essays that I was proud to submit. My test scores and GPA would not be considered a standout profile by the numbers, however, she had faith in my story and patiently supported me through countless rounds of deliberations on which schools to apply to when I didn't get the test scores I wanted. Before working with Cat, I spoke with several MBA consultants who were skeptical of my post-MBA goal of moving to Asia. In contrast, Cat was both encouraging and realistic. She supported my aspirations while helping me develop clear contingency plans, allowing me to pursue ambitious goals with confidence and a practical path forward. Cat always provided honest and constructive feedback on my essays. She pushed me to articulate my desire in my essays and interviews about why I needed an MBA, especially the granular details about why my goals and the experience offered at the school were a perfect fit. During our resume reviews, Cat was meticulous with the structure and each word in my resume. It was easily the best resume I've ever had. Cat was punctual throughout the entire application process. She always provided her feedback in a timely manner and made it a priority scheduling the mock interviews. With Cat's expertise and guidance, I was accepted into the University of Michigan's Ross MBA program with $60K in merit scholarships. I was so ecstatic to be accepted that the scholarship money came as a big surprise. I fully believe that Cat is the reason I had such a positive result with Ross. I am extremely grateful for Cat's guidance, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to achieve their dream of enrolling in an MBA program.

I worked with Cat Ho through mbaMission, and she genuinely shaped how I thought about my…read moreapplication, not just the essays themselves, but the whole strategy and how I was presenting myself. From the start, she was easy to talk to in a way that mattered. I didn't feel like I had to show up with everything figured out. She gave me room to think out loud, but she also kept things organized and was always flexible around scheduling, which honestly saved me more than once during a hectic few months. The thing that surprised me most was how much she was able to pull out of my own background. Experiences I'd written off as ordinary, she'd push back on, asking questions until something real surfaced. That's how themes like curiosity and cross-cultural perspective ended up at the center of my story, rather than just footnotes. It's genuinely hard to see that stuff in yourself, and she had a knack for it. She was patient throughout the whole process, never making me feel rushed, but she also didn't sugarcoat things. If something wasn't landing, she'd say so, and then immediately tell me why and what to try instead. That combination of honesty and direction was exactly what I needed. Her turnaround times were fast, which kept things moving during a stretch where deadlines were tight. And the feedback never felt generic; it was always specific to what I was actually trying to say. By the end, Cat felt less like an editor and more like a thought partner. She helped me see my own story more clearly, and that made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was weary to write a review for this company- solely because of the children they bring service…read moreto. However, this is easily the most unorganized, unprofessional and amateurish company I have ever been a part of. There is no training of tutors to help them with their students. Meaning tutors are improvising lessons and engagements with students. The issue is when you have parents who rely on tutors knowing how to help their children progress academically and in reality these tutors are completely inexperienced and unskilled individuals to work with them. They do not pay well or fairly and they severely mislead their staff and the people who use their services. Although I believe their intentions are good, they are doing a disservice to every single child who sees these tutors.
