    I took Tagalog 1 with Rhya in summer 2023 and Tagalog 2 with Nicky in summer 2025. Both times I…read moreopted for Hybrid courses, since I would be back in the Bay part of summer, and I definitely recommend adding that option if you learn better in-person. I was typically the only student who came in-person since most students take the class remote, but being able to be in the same room as the instructor helped my motivation during class immensely. Rhya and Nicky are both so kind and knowledgeable. You can tell that they are not only experts in the language (as native speakers from the Philippines) but in pedagogy. As a community college professor myself, I admire how organized the class was and how welcoming they are. The other students in my recent class were highly motivated and excited to learn Tagalog for various reasons. Some like me grew up with Filipino parents but never learned Tagalog, while others are in relationships with Filipinos/Filipino Americans and want to engage more deeply with the community through language. Overall, SJLC has been a positive experience, and I am excited to take the next (and last) level of Tagalog 3. The current rates for Tagalog (7 weeks, weekly meeting for small group) is $399 remote, $419 in person, and $449 hybrid -- note: this is a "Prime" class, so it is priced a bit higher since the instructor is a native speaker with 5+ years of teaching experience).

    SJLC (San Jose Learning Center) has a great number of language classes - online, hybrid, or…read morein-class - and a variety of schedules, esp. for busy adults. The instructor that I had, Keiko is great. She is very patient and always willing to help. (The courses can be fast though depending the language and the books being used). The other people there are always very polite and helpful as well. The facility, while basic, is clean and conducive to learning. They seem to use a mix of media (e.g. slides, Quizlet, etc. which is good). FYI - it is near SJC - San Jose Int'l airport and the jets taking off can be somewhat loud at times.

    Before finding Nancy, I struggled for months trying to teach my daughter how to read--cycling…read morethrough letter toys, Bob books, and endless iPad apps with little success. Then we started working with Nancy, and it was like magic. Within just a few weeks, my daughter began reading with confidence. Now that my son is reaching the stage where he's ready to read, he too has started working with Nancy, and we're already seeing noticeable improvement after just two lessons. What makes Nancy so special is not just her expertise but the way she makes every class fun and engaging. My kids actually look forward to their lessons, and in between sessions, they often ask if they can read more on their own! She has a remarkable sense of when to gently correct and when to let a child's reading flow naturally. I believe it's her vast experience that allows her to keep kids motivated without ever getting frustrated. The results speak for themselves--my older daughter is now reading well beyond her grade level and absolutely loves books. My younger son went from saying "reading is boring" to loving it after just two lessons! I can't recommend Nancy enough for anyone who wants to help their children learn to read or who feels their kids are a bit stuck. She's truly been a game changer for our family!

    Nancy Bilbao has played an integral role in our child's reading development…read more When our daughter began first grade, she was reading below grade level. On the recommendation of our physician, we sought reading therapy, and Nancy Bilbao came highly recommended. With her extensive experience and consistent communication, Nancy Bilbao guided our daughter through a transformative journey. By the end of the school year, not only was our daughter reading at an above grade level, but--most importantly--she had gained the confidence to explore new books independently.

    My daughter has been to this center for about a month now. Her sessions are twice a week. Jason…read moreand the staff are very professional and can be very accommodating to flexible schedules with advanced notice. They are really good with their time management during their tutoring sessions. Jason's response time to questions and concerns are quick. The initial meeting was very simple. My daughter took an assessment and Jason when over the results and discussed the best placement for her. My daughter does need the one to one instruction or small group due to her learning needs and this was the best place for it. My daughter has been a struggled learner with inattentive ADHD. It is very difficult for her to retain information and I have noticed a difference with her in processing information and her academics. She has picked up some learning strategies that I know she wasn't getting from me or her school. She dreads reading, but I have noticed that she is independently looking at her surroundings and trying to read words more. She is blending and chunking words a lot better since she has started at this center. When she is reading I noticed that she is actually using context clues and making inferences about what she is reading. She also comments about her tutors outside of the center, which is really positive for me to see and hear because when a child talks about their school day, it shows that they are being engaged and intrinsically motivated. My daughter enjoys coming here and she loves the incentives they provide.

    This is the most horrible tutoring center I've signed my daughter to go to. She told me that they…read morealways rushed her on her homework and was always so strict. She also told me that the staff treats each children differently from her. This is the most horrible tutor EVER!! Don't sign your child here I've wasted my money for nothing.

    PEL is a great place to study. The teachers there are extremely helpful with subjects like Math and…read moreEnglish. My son was a grade behind and was having a hard time reading and writing when he was at kindergarten. His kinder teacher was suggesting I repeat his kindergarten year. When he came in to take an assessment last march, he could not read or write any simple words. But now, after 11 months at PEL he is 1 year above his grade level. He is in 1st grade now and he is helping other kids in his class as well if they are stuck. We are so glad that we didn't keep him one more year in kindergarten. Not only that, he scored pretty good above on his latest iReady at school. We are so happy of my son's achievement and grateful for all the excellent work that PEL staff has provided. He will continue with PEL and keep improving.Ms. Lisa is so kind and nice and she's the best teacher we ever met. If you want to raise your child's grades, get them ahead, or simply get them extra help, PEL Milpitas is the place to go!
