The quality of his instruction was easy to follow and understand. Cost was free since my workplace provided me with a voucher and the book which is needed for class.

Parking in the back of the building is free. Restroom is clean. Free coffee, water, and snacks!! I highly recommend this place/class.

This company is trying to scam people by collecting contact information from the schools and…read moresending out information that looks like it's being offered by the school district, but it's really just a marketing ploy. They leached onto my son's high school instagram and posted webinars without permission of the school and when I watched the webinar, realized they were clearly advocating for practices that my district doesn't even believe in. We have tried to stop them from posting on our accounts, but they keep coming back and doing it. They have SEVERAL offices, and thus YELP accounts. Take a look at this yelp review, too: https://www.yelp.com/biz/young-scholars-institute-san-marino-4 Don't use this company. They are just scamming you.

I'm so happy we decided to invest in the Stowell program. It is costly but worth the sacrifice. They have taught her important life skills in improving her Dyslexia and Auditory Processing Disorder.

Lots of children could benefit from there program. Trust me your child will improve!

I am a international student of UC Davis and a former student of Poly for both campus of LA and…read morePasadena. I am writing my review here because I see some negative reviews of this institute, and those reviews are not true. The negative reviews even do not explain why the school is bad. I am telling you here why Poly is a great place to "start" learning English. I know a lot of students have passion for fluent English skills, but there are always "steps". It is true that Poly do not teach "a college level English skills". However, it is also true that "you do not need a college level English skills" before you transfer to a college because the college wants you to learn the advance skills in their education system. Poly is just helping students to "prepare" the college level English. So, be patient and don't get freaked out. To describe the atmosphere of the Pasadena campus, I have to mention about this: the school has extremely friendly staffs, Max and Nataly. They always make a smile on their face, and love to joke with their student. They continuously put their efforts on improving supports on their student. As a result, I see they have recently built a spacious student lounge which did not exist in 2011. In addition, Poly provides a TOEFL class, which is for the students who seek for an advance level class. Lastly, make your sentence simple and clear when you have a question to your teacher. The teacher won't "ignore" you. The instructor just cannot fully "understand" your questions. If you make your sentence clear enough, the teacher will answer you. You also should show your respect on your teacher as a student. Because I attended Poly, I was able to transfer to a college, and was able to make more friends in this country. I personally appreciate to Poly for those my personal achievements. Poly may not a place to satisfy your expectation 100%, but is the right place to "start" your English journey.

At night there is always a security guard and he is really nice and friendly and does his job well. This off site campus is right next to El Monte High School. The classrooms are really new and modern. They have 4 classrooms including one computer lab. All the professors that I have had here are really awesome and great teachers. The best part is that most of them let us out early especially for the one day a week night classes. The professors also enjoy this offsite campus because of the ease of parking. The parking lot is well spaced and plenty of parking here. Overall: This off-site campus rocks and whenever I can get a class here, I jump on the opportunity. I highly recommend getting classes here because parking on main campus can be a hassle and the rooms are really new here .

I am bilingual Japanese but grew up in the US so naturally I am more comfortable speaking English. I try very hard to speak Japanese in the home but I wanted more cultural/language exposure for my 5 yr old. I heard about this school from a family member and instantly knew that I made the right decision when I met Miki Sensei. She is so creative and full of energy. I really appreciate her motivation and dedication to the students. She understands that Japanese is a second language for most of the students and tailors her class accordingly. My child really enjoys coming here and looks forward to Japanese school every week. Homework includes tracing hiragana and practicing pronunciation for this level. The classes are very affordable. Classes are from 8:45-12:15 Saturdays with breaks in-between. You bring your own snacks/drinks. PTA is very organized and parents are involved in touban twice a year. Their new campus at Roosevelt school is beautiful with a very large grassy field and two playgrounds.
