I have learned so much from her. Especially pronunciation! Improving my pronunciation makes me feel more comfortable and confident with communicating in English.

You should definitely go!!!

Was on wait list for an intern for five months. After a few months and an initial, very specific,…read morevery retraumatizing intake with an intern, analyst texted saying she could not move forward with therapy, no explanation. Was sent to the back of the line to wait again. Second intern seemed uncomfortable and awkward in our sessions, and did not take responsibility for and took weeks to set me up on their portal - meanwhile our GoogleMeets were not HIIPA complaint and I could not pay for weeks of sessions on a secure payment site. This intern was a "seasoned" therapist (as per the director) but seemed to not have a sense of sophistication with regard to Jungian concepts and I had to explain things to her, so I was paying to teach her. She also yawned during our sessions without covering her mouth, and once cut off our session without care during a very vulnerable moment for me, seemingly having lost track of time, needing to rush off to her next client. The director, Lynn Easley, took no responsibility or accountability for the way i had been treated over the five months or the way this had managed, and proceeded to suggest that the problems were mine, in a gaslighting kind of way, with zero consciousness of her lack of reflection or care. Shockingly unprofessional, lacking in empathy, lacking in customer service, lacking in accountability, lacking in promptness. Indeed, the problem is mine and it is with this organization. I had wonderful and generous responses from the Jungian center in San Francisco and through referrals I was matched with a gifted therapist within three business days of reaching out to them. AVOID THIS CENTER. Terrible experience.

I am very fond of this place, the bookstore and library are a impressive specialty…read more Having attended some lectures, I wish that they had more oomph. Obviously targeted at Jungian analysts (which I am not), the speakers are learned, accomplished and doubtless engrossed with the subject matter. They're intellectually oriented, almost dry and could use a bit of zeal to make it more entertaining. Also the $40 admission is a bit steep for lay people that are not writing off the fee on their taxes as research/education. I've left the lectures feeling that I would have rather spent the money in the bookstore instead. There isn't anything elitist about this place, just maybe needs a B-12 injection? Recommended parking is across the street in the lot for the golf course and park, save yourself some frustration.

Could not be more grateful for all the knowledge i have gained. Thank you for being not just an incredible teacher, but also our friend with who we could laughed and enjoyed every second in the class!

Took a creative writing class on Zoom. I was warned by a friend not to take Ucla Extension, but I…read morehad to try it out. It was meh. I didn't have my instructor's email, and communication was very poor through Canvas, the online portal. Many email/messages unanswered especially from beginning of class. We were warned they would be busy. It was apparent. Office hours - It was on the original syllabus, but then it was taken off. Original syllabus stated by appointment only. But it was very difficult to make one. They would not give me a concrete date or time. I had to give my instructor my phone number, they said they would call, but never did. Instructor then gave me their phone number. I had to call them, and was rushed off after a 15 minute call. The instructor then refused to schedule more office hours. I found it unprofessional, and very off putting. It was apparent then that the instructor was not really there to mentor any students. I have never had this experience at UCLA where I had to give my phone number to a UCLA professor so found the whole situation weird. The class went pretty down hill after the cut-off date where you can get a full refund. I completed two degrees at UCLA and this isn't the same quality. I am glad I got a discount or else I would have been really disappointed. UCLA Extension is a different brand selling a very different product sub-par to UCLA degree programs. After this weird exchange, I decided to stop attending class. Ultimately I reached out to the administration who told the instructor they need to provide office hours, and instructor then obliged to give me some. At this point I was over it and stopped attending the 3 hour long weekly class. Classes are 10 weeks long. Zoom creative writing class sessions of 3 hours is rather painful. I would have preferred in person 100%. Class size of 15 is way too large, but we had two that dropped out and around 3 folks every class that didn't show up, so it was about 10 students each class - which still is large. Research the class and instructor very well before you commit your money and time. Admin emails seems to be run by overseas folks, and I'm sure AI in the future. They get back to your qs in a few days to weeks. Drop before Week 2 for a full refund minus fees

The administration needs work but for the most part the teachers are great except for one or tworead more

Their Shabbos Kiddish/lunch alone justifies the 5 star rating. Every week they provide a delicious, healthy, free meal to the young professional and community members.

With…read morethe weekly discussions my Grandfather not only has led over 30 SDGs but has attended them as a participant. What PLATO has done for our society is beyond what our limited media will do for our baffeling world. You can be a passive participant in life or an active participant with a critical view on thousands of topics. PLATO keeps its members abreast of so many topics through its weekly readings,discussions and friendships of likeminded adults. I would definitely consider joining PLATO if I lived anywhere in the LA vicinity. To see people like my Grandfather come home from his weekly meetings feeling both motivated and his willingness to go the extra mile to delve deeper into the various subjects presented brings me a lot of joy. Sadly we live in a world severly limited by the current Government and media but we can change this by joining an organization such as PLATO where our voices can be heard on how to make our perplexing world a better place for current and future generations!

Omar is such a wonderful French teacher. He is kind and wants to work with you at your level. He…read morealways does his best to make the lessons fun. Quickly, French comes easier to you, and you don't have to think as much! The visuals on screen he provides as well as the conversation and creative writing help you learn at your own pace! He always wants to make sure the class is tailored to your needs. He has revitalised my love of the French language! I have faith I can be conversational and fluent if I stay consistent with his classes. Omar really helped me get accepted to TAPIF (teaching assistant program in France). I'll be teaching secondaire in Reims, France! It really is thanks to the wonderful lessons I've had with Omar and his lovely recommendation letter.

I've tried other programs (yes, even the highly praised Coucou French Classes in Culver City), but nothing compares to the experience here. Omar's teaching style is thoughtful, visual, and personalized. He breaks everything down clearly, using drawings and illustrations that make complex grammar feel simple. For example, he'll sketch out a concept right there on the board to make sure it really lands. You're not just memorizing--you're actually understanding. He has this way of tuning into what's going on in your brain and adjusting his explanation until it clicks. C'est incroyable (it's incredible)! I also love that we're encouraged to converse with classmates about things relevant to our actual lives. So instead of stiff, outdated dialogues, we're saying things like "Je suis crevé aujourd'hui" (I'm exhausted today) or "J'ai regardé une série hier soir" (I watched a show last night)--and it sticks because it's real. Another huge win? Small class sizes. It feels intimate and safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and really engage. Omar creates a classroom vibe that's relaxed, motivating, and somehow makes you want to do your homework. Compared to my experience at Coucou, where the classes felt a bit more rigid and less individualized, French In Mind has been a breath of fresh air. Omar clearly takes pride in his work--he genuinely cares about our progress, and it shows in every single lesson. If you're serious about learning French and want to actually enjoy the process, this is the class. Franchement, j'adore ce cours (Honestly, I love this class).
