This has by far been my favorite parent + kid class ever so far! The combination of being outdoors…read morein nature, learning a new language with others, and moving around to music/activities has been a true joy to experience for me and my baby. I like that the class format is pretty consistent in the flow so you know what to expect each class. But it also manages to have some variety with different songs each class. It incorporates songs we sing with lyrics on paper passed to parents (which can also be found in YouTube playlist the teacher Esmeralda created), different sensory activities for the kids, and storytelling. Outside this class, I've done three other mommy and baby classes and this would be my top choice! In fact, this is the only parent class I've signed up for repeatedly and this is the farthest class I have had to travel to (so it's worth it)!

I had a wonderful experience with PLC…read more I took beginner's Italian with Alex, and it was incredible! Each lesson is clear, engaging, and tailored to the students' pace, making even tricky grammar concepts feel approachable. Alex did a wonderful job at explaining the language in a way that feels natural and conversational, while also giving students the structure we need to build a solid foundation. I love how practical the lessons are -- every class left me feeling more confident about speaking, reading, and understanding Italian. What makes Alex stand out is the perfect balance of professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm. He brings Italian to life with cultural insights, everyday expressions, and plenty of encouragement. I genuinely look forward to every session and can already see major progress in my vocabulary and fluency. If you're serious about learning Italian (and having fun while doing it), I can't recommend PLC highly enough. PS -- Grazie mille, Alex.

We explored a handful of schools, and although we ultimately chose a closer school, we wanted to…read moresing the praises of All Souls. Note that we were interested in the Mandarin program, so my observations shared here are mainly based on that aspect. This model should be replicated nationwide. Growing up, my parents had to choose between a public German immersion school and our local parochial school. They prioritized faith, which was the right call, but at All Souls, parents don't have to make that compromise--you get both! Dr. Allison is the principal, and after multiple conversations, it was clear how much he "gets it." He has an extensive background in education, and seems like exactly the person you would trust in charge of a growing and thriving school like this. He instills confidence. We met with teachers, parents, and staff, and everyone is kind and the teachers seem like great educators. The classes have very good teacher-to-student ratios. The weekly schedule is better than essentially all other schools, including early release on Fridays (perfect time to schedule doctor appts, dental appts, music lessons, etc.) and Mass only every other week (which is smart because it doesn't burn the kids out on it). Also, it is a very food-allergy-friendly school, with no nut/peanut classrooms TK-2 just to name one thing. For anyone weighing the benefits of language immersion against a faith-based environment, All Souls proves you really can have both without compromise.

My child went to All Souls for 6 years. When Dr Fuller was principal this was a 5 star school…read more The principal after left the school in disarray with the majority of the teachers leaving. The current principal works hard. I think the Spanish program is still decent but academically this school is behind public schools. A lot of kids leave needing intervention or tutoring unless your kid is academically way ahead. I love the small class sizes and loving environment but we left due to the huge teacher turnover resulting in some grades with terrible teachers. If they beef up the academics a bit there may be hope.

We've been with Huntington Education for almost a year now, and I can honestly say the experience…read morehas been incredibly encouraging for our son. Math has always been a sore spot for him--especially with his slower processing speed--but the support, patience, and structure provided by the Huntington team has made a difference in both his skills and, more importantly, his willingness to keep trying. What stands out most is the level of personal investment the instructors make in each student. Mr. Justin, in particular, has gone out of his way to understand how my son learns and where he needs extra reinforcement. It never feels like a one-size-fits-all program; it's truly tailored support that meets him where he's at and helps him move forward at his pace. As a parent, my biggest concern has always been that he not only improves academically, but also feels capable of keeping up with his peers--and Huntington has been key in helping us move toward that goal. I trust their approach, and we're fully committed to continuing with their program. I can't recommend Huntington Education enough. They've been a steady and positive partner for our family.

The math skills and techniques are being taking t here is no doubt one of the simplest. On top of that there is weekly home work packets go home with the students for them to practice the techniques taught in the classroom. The teacher will review the homework during the class. My son is not a natural hard working student. It is challenging to keep him from distractions. Ms. Liu has been keep us updated with his progress (up and downs) and also giving us reminders on how to keep track of his homework etc. I believe if your children are willing to get help and do some extra work outside of their schools, you will see progresses. And communicating with the teachers are very important as well!

They also offer after school classes during the weekdays. They divide up the classes by preschool age 3-5yr old level and grade school age 5+ level. I've never been inside the school but according to my kids, it's divided into 2 rooms, one for writing and the other for singing/dancing. Miss Maggie also has other assistants that will help teach. Overall my daughters look forward to going to Chinese school every weekend. They tell me about all the yummy snacks they get to eat there and get to bring home. Usually when I ask them after they're done with school what songs they learned or what did they talk about during class, my girls always answer me with "I don't remember." Sometimes I get the pleasure of hearing them sing the Chinese songs they learn when they're playing at home or during bath time which is really nice to hear. I'm glad my daughters enjoy their time at Miss Maggie's so it helps grow their love for the Chinese language and culture.

They take a different approach from traditional Chinese schools but from what I can tell, the knowledge gained is on par, if not better.

The teachers are excellent, and the curriculum is top notch. As an educator myself, I know how hard it is to make it all work esp with online teaching.

Really impressed with the quality of the curriculum and teachers are super positive. Native speakers and great with kids. Kids love it. I also speak Spanish but I often forget to speak to them in Spanish. When they are in Kallpachay it reminds me to keep speaking with them in Spanish and then they are less resistant to it.

I am medical professional who is terrible at languages and struggled for years to improve my…read moreSpanish abilities. I came to her 4 years ago with absolutely zero confidence that I would progress in learning this language. Especially after numerous failures (regular classes, apps, etc.) but Flavia has patiently pushed me towards fluency. Fla has a knack for understanding how to best encourage a students individualized learning. Often breaking down complex grammatical concepts into bite-sized pieces that even the most language-challenged individuals (like me) can grasp. Her patience and persistence with me has been unparalleled, and she never has made me feel embarrassed for asking the same question multiple times, in multiple different ways. What I appreciated the most was how she tailors the lessons to my needs and speed, depending on the rate I pick up a particular lesson. As I have progressed, we have shifted towards vocabulary and grammar that is more tailored towards my profession and interests, which has made a huge difference in my ability to communicate. I can't recommend Flavia highly enough. If you want to work towards fluency, at your own pace, or just get more in depth review for school work. I would suggest reaching out to her.

From the owner: I am a Spanish teacher from Argentina…read more My mother tongue is Español and my second language is English. I have spent almost half of my life in Argentina and the other in the United States, where I received my higher education. I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Spanish, with an emphasis in Literature and Education, and Theater. Through my studies and personal experiences, I have gained knowledge of cultures across Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, in addition to stories of Hispanic and Latinx individuals living in the United States. These pieces are quite useful to incorporate when teaching students about the varying accents, dialects, vocabulary, and traditions in these contexts. I have been teaching for over 16 years in both classroom settings as well as one-on-one sessions. My teaching experience ranges from Pre-K to high school, including bilingual and trilingual schools and adults of all age groups. I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) and drama. Today, I continue to tutor and give Spanish lessons one-on-one as well as group lessons.
