I have learned so much from her. Especially pronunciation! Improving my pronunciation makes me feel more comfortable and confident with communicating in English. I also enjoyed a conversation with my classmates.There are a lot of opportunities to talk with people from various countries. And each session has different topics, so you will never get bored. 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.

Since it was my first class in English I ever did, I was afraid I will fail it.

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!

I regret taking the Paralegal Program at UCLA Extension. Despite receiving complaints for years…read moreabout Christopher Ellison, they continue to allow him to teach 3 separate classes, meaning if you take this program, you will need to be taught by him for 18 weeks. His sexism in the classroom was truly disgusting, and many students' complaints were ignored. He was always off topic and inappropriate. He referred to people as "crackheads" said "all teenage girls should apologize to their parents" (asserting that young women are "awful"), told the class about his own teenage daughter's insecurities and that she wanted a nose job, told us that he had removed his wife from his life insurance without telling her, and seemed unhinged at times. Extremely inappropriate and misogynistic personal details to be giving a class. I submitted a complaint to UCLA with timestamps of his inappropriate comments that UCLA has on film and I was ignored. I'm sure they will allow him to continue teaching. My mental health took a toll and I decided to just not attend his last class because we are allowed one dropped module. I am honestly thinking of speaking to representation because of how awful this experience was. After attending this course and seeing how they allow their professors to treat their female students, I am not surprised UCLA is embroiled in the Epstein files with another professor, and they have yet to suspend him. Yale just suspended their professor that was involved with Epstein, but UCLA has not. My law firm paid for my tuition or else I would have filed a chargeback. I have advised them to never use UCLA for their paralegals again. Not to mention, grades would come in months after the classes finished, with little to zero feedback.

I have emailed the staff and they referred me to info about scholarships, which is highly selective. The demographic of people who take their courses are not going to change until they lower their prices. The writing courses are only worth it if you are a fan of the instructor's work.

And additional programming like Crash Course in Hebrew and the Explanatory Service make getting up too speed easy and fun. Pico Shul is highlight of the Pico Community.

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!
