Michael, French Cactus Level 4
"The instructor, course content and timing is structured to meet the needs of busy professionals. After each class, my wife (who is a native speaker) was impressed with how much my grammar improved."

Stefania, she was very engaging and covered a lot of material that I can build on with practice. She was very encouraging to everyone and we all worked well together.

The teacher and the ease of learning in the classroom.

The relaxed but structured agenda allowed us to learn basics, but get outside questions answered along the way. I started speaking right away, and it was clear that everyone's accents greatly improved during the five weeks. Paul definitely responded to class interests and geared the lessons to answer everyone's questions.

I really enjoyed having Ms. Sayaka as our teacher and studying with my classmates. This course gave me a lot of great learning experience. Once this course is over, instead of being overwhelmed with a new language, I want to continue learning that language until it becomes my own because I fell in love with the language.

Olga F — Nov 2011

Su's teaching methods. She builds her teaching a lot around repetition of repeating the words/phrases, then she has each one of us come up in front of class and act as the teacher. She engages everyone & makes the class fun and interesting.
Han L — Nov 2011

Christelle's teaching. She knows how to make the class fun, keep our attention high for the entire two-hour class, and have us constantly interacting. She communicates very well, and it's very easy to follow her message. Excellent teacher.
