She's an excellent teacher and coach who knows how to challenge you while still making lessons enjoyable and encouraging. I always leave feeling motivated and like I'm improving in a real way.

It was directed by Linda Khoury and starred several talented actors and actresses, many USC theater graduates. JoAnna Criswell and Christine Von Schultzendorff were the dialect coaches who made everyone sound authentic and true to that time. Katie Mixon did an outstanding job playing the part of Elizabeth Bennet, she was in just about every scene and stayed in character throughout the entire 2+ hour performance, it was amazing. Ruth Glowacki was hilarious as Mrs. Bennett, she dominated every scene that she was in and almost always had the audience in fits of laughter. However George Spelvin stole the entire show as Mr. Collins, he was vile and slithering, and totally believable as someone you'd want to run far away from and be repulsed by! His command of every scene was AWESOME. As the performance was outdoors the actors and production staff were vulnerable to things out of their control. A few times ambulance cars drove by creating a raucous, a handful of times the wind picked up and props on the stage fell, despite these distractions the actors did not miss a beat, and kept the play going. The costumes and stage design were terrific, and the setting at the park was beautiful. I can't believe they do these performances for free, the quality of the show was excellent, and anyone passing by would never know that they did not charge a penny! They have a couple more plays coming up, "I Hate Hamlet" will show for two weekends in February and "A Servant of Two Masters" will be held for two weekends in April. If you can catch a show with this Company, I highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful place to ensure your child gains confidence in their mathematical abilities!…read more We tried several of the normal tutoring places such as Kumon and Sylvan but for a young learner my daughter didn't feel comfortable. Mrs. Annette quickly won my daughter over with her cheerful disposition and was able to test my daughter without so much as one frown. She thought the test was fun and eagerly anticipated her first tutoring session at Mathnasium! I like you can get your money's worth by visiting as many times as you want Monday-Thursday and on Saturday mornings. My daughter loves working with Mrs. Sharon especially as the woman has the patience of Job! She loves the small learning groups, math games, and that you can earn treats (candy and toys) for work completion. Math has become my daughter's favorite subject with her grade going from a low C to a high A. She readily volunteers to solve problems in class where she once had complete meltdowns in class. Her third quarter report card indicated that she has mastery of all of her grade level standards except two so the teacher commented that she would focus on those two standards and allow my daughter to start working on the next grade level!

At the end of the last school year she was convinced that she was ready for Algebra 1 in the Fall so I asked her to complete an Algebra assessment exam at Mathnasium to confirm that she was ready. The assessment clearly showed that she was not at all ready and showed her the skills she needed to work on. Mathnasium developed a program that targeted these and she went to Mathnasium over the summer to work on them. We are now well into the first semester of the school year and she is making close to an A in Algebra 1. I can't thank Annette and the rest of the Mathnasium team enough for helping her!!

The instructors are passionate, highly knowledgeable, and most importantly, they understand the commitment it takes to create quality, well-trained ballet dancers. They work tirelessly 6 days a week. What we enjoy the most is that Hillary and Gabor take the time to build relationships with the dancers and their families. The students are hard-working, focused, and dedicated. Each summer, many students are accepted to and attend prestigious summer intensives. Southeastern School of Ballet also provides a 3 week intensive early in June to help prepare students for their summer study at other intensives. The hours of training provided at Southeastern School of Ballet are not matched by any other ballet school in Columbia. Ballet, Pointe, and Variations are the main classes. Character, stretch/strengthening/flexibility classes, Pilates, Modern and Contemporary are also required to create a well-balanced dancer. Adult classes are also available. We have been highly satisfied with the training our child has received. She looks forward to learning in class and hates when she misses. Nothing more can be said than that!
