We found Miss Valerie with wonderful reviews and gave LB Lingual a try. What a treat! Miss Valerie is so awesome and went above and beyond our expectations. She was super accommodating with our schedules and had an online class that made it even easier! She is friendly and engaging and so enthusiastic! She was like a friend we met every week for a chat. She went out of her way to find what was relevant to us and geared our classes toward those experiences. We learned words, phrases and conversational French that will be current and up to date for today's Paris. I would love to continue learning with her. She is welcome to join us any Sunday at Renoud's :-) We can't recommend her more highly!

I don't…read moreoften write reviews, but I really wanted to make sure other people know about these classes and this great teacher. The classes are held at Oodles in Cerritos, but you can sign up online. http://ilearnhindi.wordpress.com/upcoming-classes/ They have classes for kids age 4 through adult, grouped by age and level, although we only have experience with the kids class. Most classes are on Saturday mornings, but I think she teaches a High School class through UCLA as well. The teacher, Anshu, is friendly, upbeat, positive and encouraging. She presents the lessons in a fun, informative way and the students learn through multiple modalities. They even learn some American Sign Language while learning Hindi, which helps them remember the new vocabulary. Best of all, the kids are happy and boisterous in class--obviously enjoying themselves--which I think gives them a positive attitude about learning the language. I love how the teacher is able to use their positive energy and enthusiasm and direct it towards learning. So many teachers just try to get kids to be quiet. Instead, she is able to guide them and shape the group dynamics to keep things energetic, fun, and educational. Thanks, Anshu, for being such a good teacher and for helping my son learn while having fun.

She is smart, she uses engaging methods in the classroom, and she works closely with the parents to ensure everyone gets what they are looking for. For example, because my son doesn't hear Urdu/Hindi in the home all the time it is critical that I work with him between lessons. Teacher Anshu always shares her lesson plans with me and gives me the guidance I need to ensure he's ready for each class. I love that she incorporates activities into the class. The kids sing, dance, have story time, etc. I highly recommend this class! I just may sign up for her adult sessions to help my language skills progress, too!

My son has been going to this school for 3 years, that is until we found out the truth about the…read moreplace we called home. My son has seen his friends get grabbed, physically removed for messing around, get hit (the teachers would defend the people hurting them), and racism. I've also spoken to some of the moms that have left recent reviews to get their feedback, and they told me their reviews were taken down by the school. When me and my husband looked at these reviews we have also noticed that a lot of the stuff stated in the reviews are still happening. When my son and his class went to the park, he saw the teacher yell a derogatory Asian slur at his old classmate, then when my son came home telling me the news, me and my husband were furious that a teacher at the school has taught my son discriminatory language. We were angry that we were paying over $1,000 in tuition per month for my son to learn hate before fractions. I'm about to list more situations in this review: 1. My son is more quiet and doesn't get in trouble at all, but he has watched his friends get grabbed, cussed at for telling the teacher to not touch them, the teacher started a dynamic which disrespects kids, and they're rude to their parents. 2. The teacher would talk about her husbands g-string, and would talk about sexual things that I don't want my son to hear. 3. The teacher would also take away my son's lunch if he had to re-do the work, and there was this one incident where he didn't listen to the teacher because he was starving and just started eating his lunch, then got kept from going to the park when the class was going, then for the rest of the day he was isolated in a classroom and made to think he was a bad person when really it's the school being cruel. 4. During games class, I find it unsafe for kids to play in an alleyway that has homeless people in it, and I also find it unsafe that they have to move every time a car comes by. 5. When me and my husband were on the fence questioning ourselves about if this is the right place for children, we sent our kid to the school the next morning with a tiny notebook and a pencil and we told our son to take notes of everything that everyone says and happens in those bad situations. When my son came home me and my husband took a look at the notebook, and me and my husband were pissed. From what the notebook said we were upset to learn that the teachers actually violently grabbed a kid that didn't do his work because he was thinking about stuff emotionally at his desk. 6. From everything that we have our son tell us all of these people there sound very unskilled, and should work with kids. Me and my husband admired the Waldorf scene of it being creative, hands on, and supportive but these teachers aren't supportive at all to certain kids who are different then what they like, me and my husband talked to the parents of the kids who have been violently punched or grabbed by teachers, or students. And these parents were very nice people, from this other review, I read all I have to say is you shouldn't learn about the school because it's a cult on my prospective, it's not inclusive if not, everyone is supported at the school then it's not supportive at all, the tuition is over $1000 for your kids to be wearing hate,and to be playing in a alleyway with shattered glass and homeless people. And I fully support all of these kids who have left the school because so many kids have left that they had to merge a few grades together because the parents weren't the same truth I have. and every time me and my husband would have meetings with these teachers. About how they would act with other kids. They would deflect it towards the kid who is actually getting bullied because they are different. the school has also let my son learn about the N-word, sexual jokes, sex, and racist jokes from other kids, This school dose not censor what the children talk about. What I have to say after my experience here is get your kid out before this school is a huge waste of money, and time. For all of the people reading this review get your kids out of there, or if you're learning about the school do not let your kid out there, and maple village if you respond to this review don't try to say none of this happened, because you guys know it did.
