An incredible program, making a positive impact in the community. The English Skills Learning…read moreCenter commits itself to providing free English tutoring with trained instructors to immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers. They specialize in practical reading, writing, and speaking skills. For students, they have emerging and intermediate programs, as well as classes that focus on parenting, citizenship and workplace English. In April I attended the ESLC for training to become a ESL teacher. For $50 they provide a 2-weekend training at their headquarters in South Salt Lake; complete with heart-string jerking stories of their students, role playing real-life scenarios, creating a lesson plan and a swanky orange tote bag. The staff and mentors are amazing and I completed the program feeling a lot of responsibility in my new teaching role, but well-equipped and with an ample support system. They also encourage you to sit in on a class to get hands-on experience. The staff at ESLC opened my mind to what a impact confidence in language makes. From a parent who wants to ask questions their child's parent-teacher conferences, to an individual that wants a more fulfilling career.

BYU won't get a cent of my money, because of how terrible the campus security treated me. They don't believe in God, just looking like they do and acting high and mighty while they take your money.

I needed to finish my 20-hour pre-licensing course by early October so my hours could be banked to…read moreNMLS before my ID got deleted. After checking online, I saw a lot of people recommending MEC, so I went with their course. I didn't want to do in-person or live webinar classes, so I chose their on-demand video course instead. You can pick how many days to finish it -- 3, 5, 10, or 14. I went with 14 days to be safe but ended up finishing on day 12. The system controls how many hours you can do each day, and the videos only have a pause button -- no fast-forward or slow mode, and no subtitles. The platform is pretty strict but smart. If you stop paying attention or switch tabs, it restarts that section and resets the timer. Basically, you have to sit through all 20 hours. Each section has a short quiz, a mini assignment (someone actually grades it), and a 25-question final test at the end. Once I finished everything, MEC sent my completion certificate and uploaded my record to NMLS the very next day, which was super fast! These licensing courses are pricey, so definitely look for a promo code online before you buy. Mine was originally $305.37, but I found a 43% off discount and ended up paying $174.05 -- totally worth it. Overall, MEC's course is good for getting your hours done, but it's not enough to pass the actual test by itself. You'll still need to spend extra time reviewing the book and doing practice questions before the exam.

These reviews are very misleading. Dealing with this company has been a complete nightmare! The…read moresoftware is full of glitches and when you call, you will just get someone reading from a script. I sat through 3 sessions of 120 question quizzies to reach the end and no result! When I called, they stated that I never took the tests. Now, these are just practice tests and there would be no benefit for me to say that they were complete. I just needed to see how I did and where I fell short. Also, until all questions are answered, you cant proceed anyways. Another thing, I confirmed certain answers based on research, and they were marked as wrong. When I called to let them know of the glitch on 10 answers, all I got was a script stating that I was wrong. trying to pass the state exam is difficult enough but to add a difficult program that I paid for make for horrible experience. Please go elsewhere, they are not here to help you pass!

She was also unable to find a satisfying place where she felt she belonged. Everything changed when we found School of Rock. Her grades instantly came up and the zest for life came back. Within months she learned enough in lessons to perform on stage. She overcame her shyness & worked hard. It was the best social life she ever had! More than that it became our families cohesion. We shared the excitement of concerts, some with celebrities, and special events with the School of Rock family. I no longer had to worry about where she was or what she was doing. I only wish All of my children could have had this life changing experience. We had the time of our life! I expected that Tiffany would want a young teacher at her age. Much to my surprise she preferred experience. Through the structure she took it serious, developed a respect & became great friends with the 1st. She stayed with Ben the whole 4 years of her presence there. We felt he was The Best! A knowledgeable show director, awesome teacher, fun loving person & great with adolescents. It has been almost 2 years since she graduated from this youth program and I hope we will be back soon to "PLAY AGAIN"! It is possible in such a creative flexible program. I would like to send a special thanks to Ben, now General Manager, for all the help he gave Tiffany both personally & professionally! You are still a Great friend and we wish the best for you ALWAYS! We miss you all! We know we have friends for life there & are always welcome back. We will never forget you!!!
