    I took my original prep class and and advanced class with Beth Williamson. I can not state how…read morecaring, sincere, and thorough she was on her teaching to us. More over her life's experience and being able to give us real life illustrations of things that had happened in her many years of experience. She would make relatable stores that brought the point of interest home. I found that to help my understanding on the subject matter. Excellent teacher thank you Beth

    I scheduled a class with this company because I know if I sit in the classroom I will learn…read moreeverything I need to versus study on my own. As a licensed realtor in another state I didn't need to take the class but decided to force myself to sit there so I could retain the information and pass my state exam. I will say the instructor we had was top notch, not boring in the least, and definitely had a way of presenting the materials to make them stick. I was in and out in 2 1/2 days and they combined it with the full class for those people looking to get their license which to me and made all the sense in the world. The booklet they gave me for the state materials was pre-highlighted so all I had to do was make my own notes and add additional highlighter for those items I needed to focus on. I was quite pleased and felt that my money was well worth what I got!

    I have been very disappointed with our experience at the YMCA summer camp. Over the course of the…read moresummer, there have been multiple incidents involving my child that have left me questioning whether the staff is properly trained to work with children, especially when behaviors or conflicts arise. Many of the counselors appear to be very young. While I understand everyone has to start somewhere, they often seem unequipped to handle difficult situations appropriately. Instead of using incidents as opportunities to teach and redirect children, it often feels like the first response is suspension or removal from activities rather than understanding what happened and helping the child learn from the situation. One of my biggest concerns is that issues involving one child have sometimes resulted in my other child being pulled into the situation, even when they were not directly involved. Each child should be treated as an individual,not by association. I was also told that staff laughed during a serious situation involving my child. While I did not personally witness this, hearing that from my child was very concerning. If accurate, I would expect situations involving children's behavior or safety to be handled with professionalism and respect. Communication with parents has also been frustrating. Rather than working together to understand the circumstances and develop solutions, it has often felt like discipline is the default response. Children make mistakes, and camp should be a place where they are taught, guided, and supported, not just punished. I understand that working with children is not easy, but parents trust the YMCA to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I hope the YMCA invests more in training its counselors on child development, behavior management, conflict resolution, de-escalation, and professional communication. My goal in sharing this review is not to criticize individual staff members but to encourage improvements that will benefit all children and families.

    If I could give it a zero I would. They are very happy to take your money every month, but try and…read morecancel. They have an online portal to cancel. If you use that they come back and tell you it was just a request portal, that you need to jump through various hoops.. JUST to cancel. Complete and total BS. Non responsive to emails and don't care if you are no longer in the area.

    Two summers ago, I took my first surfing lesson, but despite working with three different…read moreinstructors since then, I felt like a "sock in a dryer" struggling to catch a wave. Determined to make this summer different, I booked a hotel in Myrtle Beach and sought out surf lessons. When I stumbled upon nativesurflessons.com, something magical happened. As I explored the website, particularly the Meet The Instructor section on the About page, I felt an immediate connection with Chris, the instructor. His passion for surfing and genuine care for people shone through, making it clear that this was the right place for me. The warm greeting I received from his wife when I called to book my session was a wonderful taste of the famed "Southern Hospitality." And, let's be real, I didn't experience a literal beam of light descending from the heavens with a choir singing "Hallelujah," but that's exactly what it felt like when I read about Chris's dedication on the website. You know, that moment when everything just clicks, and you're like, "Yes, this is it!" When I arrived at Cherry Grove Pier, meeting Chris reaffirmed my decision. His welcoming presence and the sense of camaraderie in the air assured me that I was in good hands. Now, you might be wondering, "How was the lesson?" After three prior lessons with different instructors, I was a bit skeptical about whether I could truly grasp surfing. However, Chris proved to be one of the best instructors I've encountered, whether online or in person. His explanations of surfing, especially about the crucial pop-up technique and proper surfing stance, were unparalleled. Once we hit the water, he quickly assessed my skills and guided me with precision. In just a short time, he provided a few key tips that transformed my surfing experience. By the end of the lesson, I was catching my own waves--a milestone I hadn't anticipated reaching so quickly. Some may say it takes three lessons to surf, but in my case, it was about finding the right instructor. Chris at Native Surf Lessons has the knack for making dreams come true. Don't let age hold you back; I'm 52, and I've seen surfers in their 70s and 80s riding the waves in New Hampshire. As I write this review the day after, I'm still riding high, with the memory of yesterday's incredible experience etched in my mind. If you're considering whether Native Surf Lessons is the right place for you to learn, let me assure you, it absolutely is. I still remember him giving me the Shaka, going: "Yeah, Brother!!!" It was like I instantly became part of the surfing tribe. Don't hesitate; pick up the phone and call Native Surf Lessons to embark on an unforgettable surfing journey of your own!

    Great instruction, worked hard to teach us to surf. Loved it. I (49yo dad) took my 14 and 19yo…read moredaughters for our first time surfing. Amazing morning of surfing. Their instruction got us catching our own waves by the end of the 2-hour lesson. Good guys (Chris, the owner, and his assistant Evan), hood tips and tons of fun. I'd do it again tomorrow.
