I came in just minutes before closing, and she still took the time to complete my Live Scan. The process was smooth, affordable, and much easier than expected.

I truly appreciate the excellent service that I received from this center!

When my wife began bringing our son I knew the class was special with all the unique crafts and fun things our 2 year old was bringing back. Then I had the pleasure to participate for a summer session and the experience was magical. These are the kinds of memories that will stick with you as a parent for many years to come. Teach Brenda does an truly above and beyond job along with all the other staff and teachers that develop a curriculum that is engaging, fun, and informative. I would go again and again. The value for your registration fee is enormous!

I am always in shock at how creative they are and what fun stuff they come up with! I highly recommend this program, especially taking it with our favorite teacher, teacher Brenda! But you really can't go wrong with any of the teachers, they care so much about the kids and their experience here. I've taken both of my kids here and I couldn't recommend it enough. I always tell new mom friends about it because I find it to be such a valuable resource and a hidden gem in Fremont. This program doesn't get enough credit for how absolutely amazing it is!

So staff will give you many problems if you attend this adult school. The adult school really doesnt want to help someone further their education. You will be wasting time going to this school.

It's with disappointment that I'm updating my review of Mission Valley ROP, and deducting a star…read more As a graduate of American High School and Mission Valley ROP, having taken 3 different courses through ROP, and even earned college credit in one of them, I felt fortunate to have had the pleasure of taking Business Ownership, Marketing, and Law Enforcement. However, it has come to my attention, that the current students at American High are currently without an Instructor for Culinary Arts, therefore the students are being "taught" by "substitutes". I get that teacher shortages are happening everywhere, and we are just getting through a global pandemic, but at the same time it's not like the previous Instructor Chef Rosen, decided to retire last minute. They knew well in advance, and you would think they would have been able to get an instructor before the school year started. If for some reason, they weren't able to find an instructor, which seems to be the case now, why even offer the course this year at all until an instructor is found? I've heard that students are trying switch out of the class and into other classes because they don't have an instructor, and are still being taught by substitutes. It's such a shame many of these students who are seniors, many of which who are coming out of distance learning, signed up for Culinary Arts, yet are being taught by substitutes. They probably aren't even being taught much or learning much about Culinary Arts. I hope Mission Valley ROP is doing everything they can to get a qualified instructor to teach Culinary Arts at American, as there are 4 Culinary Arts classes and 1 Event Planning course offered at American. If anything, perhaps they should ask Chef Rosen to come back until a permanent instructor can be found? Just to show the impact of taking an ROP class, not only did I earn College Credit for one of the courses I took, to this day, I still stay in touch with one of my instructors, Sergeant Crawford. Unfortunately, the other instructor I had, Mr. Gary Marsh sadly passed away a few years ago.

He helped me not only to pursuit my passion in culinary arts but he also helped me and a lot others through high school. Once I graduated I attended CCA in San Francisco and continued to go on a internship in Walt Disney World.

Thank you for teaching this wonderful class.

The yoga class was canceled and it's a HUGE hassle to get my refund…read more I show up for class dressed and with my new yoga mat and it was canceled via a piece of paper on the door. Really?! You have my email and phone number, can you let me know before I go through the hassle of changing and driving there that I shouldn't show up? I email AND call to try and receive a refund to no avail. My phone call with Kristin this morning was something like "Did you pay online?" "Yes" "Oh well we can only give you a cash refund. And we only get cash on certain days so call us in the afternoon and you might be able to come by and get your money." "Well can't you set aside the money for me to come by tomorrow and get it?" "No, call us this afternoon." Blech, would not recommend.

Before Yes You Can Speak, being seen felt really unsafe, and sharing my voice or ideas with others…read morewas something I typically avoided. So much changed for me during the program... my eye contact, pacing, and, surprisingly, I actually bring calm into a room instead of nerves. The mirror work was my biggest breakthrough. I learned to see myself in a whole new way and speak positively to myself, became kinder to myself, and that made me less afraid to fail. When you're not afraid to fail, you will speak with more presence and certainty. If what you're looking for is to connect with and share your authentic self, this is the place for you to do it.

I never feared public speaking, I feared speaking without preparation. I felt confident when I had…read moretime to think things through, but if I was calleyyd on spontaneously, I froze. My inner critic would chime in: "You're rambling! You're not making sense! Hurry up!" And just like that, I'd lose my train of thought and sound anything but clear or confident. As someone pursuing speaking more seriously, I knew I had to get past this. I joined a local Toastmasters club, which helped with structure and delivery techniques, but it didn't get to the root. I didn't need to memorize a speech. I needed to feel confident grabbing the mic with no idea what I'm going to say, and still pack a punch with my message. I met Lynn when she stopped by my local Toastmaster club as a guest speaker. By the end of her workshop, I was speaking freely, no notes, no rehearsals. In less than an hour, she got me to trust myself, and my message came across clear and resonate. So, I joined her Level 1 course. I'll be honest, at first, I was hesitant. The exercises were simple, even a little "woo-woo" and I doubted if it would really change me. We practiced looking in the mirror to say affirmations. We marched around chanting, "I don't know what I'm going to say, but it's going to be great!" and various other fun things! But it worked. Week by week, those small practices paired with real speaking challenges rewired my brain. This class brought me to tears countless times. In 4 weeks, I grew more confident, more self-assured. For the first time, I believed that I could do this. I could trust that I knew what I wanted to say and didn't have to rely on perfect preparation to say it, and say it well. Lynn created an extremely safe, low-pressure container, that feels easy to do, yet the internal shifts and changes are monumental. Everyone in the class went from unsure, to confident. Our last session was so powerful. The new-found authority in the room was palpable. It also happened to fall on my birthday. The group, who by then felt like family, surprised me with a cake and a song. So nice! Lynn teaches from the heart. Her approach gently unearths the root of fear. A month later, I'm still applying what I learned. I'm leading meetings more clearly, toasting at dinner, raising my hand to speak, looking myself in the mirror with kindness before judgement, and, most importantly, trusting myself more than ever. If you want to uncover what's holding you back and try simple yet powerful tools to break through it, Lynn's class is a safe and transformative place to start. I highly recommend!
