Hola Me Llamo EJ. Me encanta Fluent City!…read more First of all, I have learned more than just that from Fluent City, but they have really helped me improve my Spanish skills tremendously! After taking two courses here, I really appreciate how knowledgable and organized the classes are. With less than 12 students per class, the teachers really encourage students to get to know each other and really speak only the language. If you don't like the class and/or teacher within the first two classes, you can get a refund or switch to another class! I have tried other language courses in DC, but Fluent City really helped me learn and use my Spanish most proficiently. It really takes a lot of extra time and effort to be more fluent on the language yourself, but in the city of DC, Fluent City tries their best to make sure that you are Fluent in your City!!! Offering a variety of languages other than Spanish, Fluent City is the way to go especially if you want to use it for employment, take up a new language, or just explore the world!

Really loved my experience with Fluent City, and would totally take Spanish classes from Pineda…read moreagain. Her lesson plans were the perfect pace and Spanish 3 turned out to be a great level for me -- I had only taken two years of Spanish in high school, and just kind of stumbled my way through travel for 10+ years. Could not recommend Pineda's class enough. It's a challenge to follow along sometimes because she explains everything in Spanish (and she's from Barcelona), but at level 3, you need to be getting comfortable with hearing everything in Spanish anyway. Gracias por todos!

I've wanted to speak French with greater confidence and ease for several years. I looked for a…read moreteacher who could create a learning approach tailored to my goals, not simply use a "one size fits all" approach. I was so fortunate to find Melissa as she's been crafting interesting and fun lessons that have helped me gain greater confidence in speaking French. Melissa and her team are terrific and I continue expanding my skills thanks to them.

If Yelp had extra stars, I would give them all to Melissa. Honestly, there aren't enough words to…read moreexpress how highly I think of her and her teaching capabilities. I work in the field of international development -- where I am a trainer myself and where I work with trainers all the time. I can say without a doubt, Melissa is the best trainer and teacher I have ever come across. She has a real gift. Here are the reasons why: 1) Melissa can put you at ease right away. I knew very little French when I first met her and I was self-conscious about it. Melissa made me feel like I was talking to a best friend. She assured me that I was right where I needed to be for the moment and gave me all the tools and confidence I needed for the moments to come. She made me WANT to speak and WANT to learn. With her, an arduous task became pleasant. She made me feel at ease and capable of learning. 2) She didn't just help me improve during the hours we had class, but she also gave me the right resources to improve outside of class. One of those resources would have cost me hundreds of dollars if I would have purchased it myself, but Melissa gave it to me for free and taught me how to use it. The resources she provided increased my speaking level almost immediately and made French a daily habit for me. 3) Melissa meets you where you are. She can quickly assess your abilities and meet you there. She pushes you just enough. 4) Melissa is so incredibly pleasant. She's kind and she's responsive and she interacts like a friend. She makes you WANT to show up for lessons just to spend time with her, and that is a rare kind of person! 5) You improve! You improve QUICKLY! Before you know it, you are speaking French!!! Even if you are like me -- and you have been convinced all your life that you will never learn a language -- you actually end up learning and speaking! And Melissa celebrates alongside you. She takes joy in your progress! It all feels pretty magical. Simply put, I cannot recommend Melissa enough! She is worthy of all the stars and all the praise!

If you want to do well on the LSAT, then you should take a course with Blueprint. If you REALLY…read morewant to do well on the LSAT, then you should take a course with Shir. If you don't live in the DC area, I would strongly suggest considering a move -the area is beautiful and you would be GUARANTEED the best teacher. Seriously, an instructor as dedicated and brilliant as Shir is hard to come by. I've had a lot of teachers and she is BY FAR one of the best. You will learn a lot, and you'll realize that when someone believes in you as vehemently as Shir does, it becomes easier to believe in yourself. So if you want to expand your brain AND your confidence (and laugh a lot) you should sign up for her class right now. Instructor specific information aside, I really don't think you can go wrong with a Blueprint course. The lessons are well structured, and the online materials are incredibly helpful. I am not a gambling woman, but I would be willing to bet that by taking a Blueprint class you will increase your score -from my diagnostic to my final practice test, I went up 18 points! Now that's improvement if I do say so myself. So, future LSAT slayers, sign up and get ready to ~grind~!

First of all let me say I've not had a better test prep instructor than Natalie EVER. Not for the…read moreSAT, GRE, or LSAT. I took Natalie's class Fall 2016 and She was by far the most engaging instructor whom forced people to get involved with the material even when they didn't feel like it. I'm smart but not a genius and Natalie did an awesome job debunking the lsat exam and how to get over the mental roadblocks. She gave awesome tips and tricks that truly made a difference during test time when it came to tackling logic games and logical reasoning. There were times when I was convinced my score wouldn't improve and she assured me that practice made perfect and that my time was speeding up because I need to go back and work on understanding the actual material. Almost year later I can proudly say I'm a little over four weeks away from starting law school at a great institution. Thanks to blueprint and thanks to Natalie for helping me along the way. Let me also add that the online/app materials coupled with the in-class instruction is a solid prep formula. Very easy to use the website and definitely great having the app on hand to practice different sections while you riding the metro from home etc. I'd 100% recommend blueprint to anyone thinking about taking the lsat.

I signed up already all the way to April 2018. I love it. I do the group sessions. So far we have been 2 people in the class. The teachers are so good and nice. My Spanish knowledge today is much better than when I first started. I feel like I am advancing quickly. Before Go Spanish Now I tried many apps like Duolingo & Rosetta Stone. They helped me a lot to learn something about Spanish. But it is not the way to go if you really want to get comfortable in speaking and writing. I highly recommend Go Spanish now. The cost is very reasonable and the results are definitely amazing.

I took several weeks of private classes with Tara (the owner) and Mari Carmen this Spring at the…read moreAlexandria location and had an AMAZING experience. I highly recommend the school for anyone trying to brush up on their Spanish or even learn from zero. I needed to take my Spanish to the next level in preparation for a new job, so I worked with Tara to customize my classes to focus on my weakest skills. I took her placement test and shared the areas where I new I needed to improve most. She created a custom syllabus for me that covered grammar, culture, common expressions, basic literature/short films...it was impressive. Also, all the student materials are saved and accessed from OneDrive, which makes out of class study really easy. This school is great in general about taking advantage of technology (like Quizlet and OneDrive) so that you can get as much extra study as you want. Tara was an excellent instructor. Really fun to work with and a solid understanding of Spanish grammar. For example, I've been speaking Spanish for over a decade and for the FIRST time learned that I had been making several grammar mistakes for years and never been corrected. It was crazy! So many things make so much more sense now. I also had the chance to take a few weeks of class with Mari Carmen, one of the Alexandria private instructors. SHE IS AMAZING. If you're taking private classes, request Mari Carmen. She has decades of experience teaching at FSI, a fun spunky personality, and an incredible grasp of the Spanish language. She is great for learning many of the language nuances that only a native speaker would pick up on (e.g. todos los días vs. Cada día OR the use of pensar vs. creer). The Alexandria location is clean and cozy with lots of natural light and is always stocked with coffee (big win!). Plenty of street and public parking, so that was never a problem at least for me. In summary, I'd say to give WorkLife Spanish a shot. Personally, I was really dissatisfied with the customer service of the massive language schools in DC and Arlington, and found WorkLife Spanish to be a refreshing breath of a excellent tailored language education. I know I certainly learned a TON...my Spanish is the best it has ever been. While I haven't taken any of the group classes, I did meet several of the group class instructors at a happy hour event and they also seemed fun and effective (at least the other students seemed to think so!).

Terrible experience with customer service…read more Booked a private session early in the AM on a weekday, and before 7:30AM the same day realized I had booked a session the day of, rather than a week out. Reached out expecting to be able to reschedule since it was before business hours and was told that I would be charged a $55 fee since the instructor had already been dispatched. Given all this occurred before their posted business hours, it seems unlikely that an instructor for an evening course was already waiting for me by 7:30AM and couldn't possibly have been rescheduled. Sad to see such short-sighted greed get in the way of common sense, but good for them for literally earning $55 in their sleep.
