Was told that my 5 year old was too old for that class so he needed to attend class on a different day and time. Not ideal for a working mom but hey, not the end of the world! He came in for the 5-8 year old class and after the class ended, the instructor told us that he wasn't going to learn anything in her class and it's pointless for him to be there. Not sure what kind of teacher would ever say such a thing but especially since my 5 year old has been speaking Spanish and English since he learned to talk. Andie, the owner of Tribú, told me that if we put him in a French class at his age, he will soak it up like a sponge, especially if he is already bilingual. So back to picking him up and feeling confused about how a teacher can make an assessment that it's pointless for him to be there and convinced he won't learn, especially after he's only been to one class --- but I figured I could speak to the owner and get more information. What I come to learn is that the class is comprised entirely of 8 year olds! After being told he couldn't join his brother in the younger kids class - which would have worked better for our schedule, as I originally inquired about, I asked if there was another class we could try and never heard back. Not sure what's going on but I feel sad and doubtful this is a nurturing environment for learning based purely on the teacher and owner. PS when I asked my five year old what he learned in French the next day, he told me something in French!

My daughter attended a year of once a week pre-K at Thousand Oaks Chinese School with Olivia. It…read morewas the best Mandarin class for young kids (5 or younger) that I had experienced, and I have seen quite a few in my journey with 2 kids. Note that her Mommy and me class is likely quite different in setup from the pre-K class I experienced, so please do keep that in mind. Olivia set developmentally appropriate expectations such as very short "sitting down" sessions, and lots of hands-on activities with craft and music. She set basic ground rules, like taking turns to speak, but at the same time could gently but firmly re-direct rule breaking and knew when to ask TA or parent help with kids that needed individual attention without jeopardizing the lesson with the rest of the kids (the pre-K class was 15-20 kids). She used the pictorial nature of the Mandarin radicals/characters and introduced the class to over 100 in ~30 weeks. My daughter retains over 50 characters a year later but alot of it depends on consistent usage after they are taught. Note the class did not have quizzes or testing, hence review was entirely dependent on parent motivation. We probably reviewed class material 2 times a week (5-15 mins). Olivia knew how to hold the children's attention and had excellent rapport with the kids. The ability to make storytime interesting in another language is critical as it is easy for kids to tune out when it is a language they do not know. The class consisted of a mix of students with differing levels of Mandarin exposure (from zero to 100%), and Olivia was able to balance that and reach the students who were tuning out. She provided some English instruction especially when dealing with a child with less Mandarin understanding. A year later my daughter still runs up to her to say hello when they meet in passing. I especially appreciated that Olivia included activities that required all students to speak. They worked on introducing themselves, and talking about their favorite food and their family. This might be less of an issue in a small group toddler setting but is a common problem in the typical Chinese schools with class sizes greater than 15. My kids have a strong preference for their primary English language and without encouragement to speak they might go through the whole class without speaking a word of Mandarin. My husband who does not speak Mandarin found sitting in the class with our daughter to be fun and they would review the characters or phrases learned in class together. I wished her Mommy and me class was available when my kids were younger, as I would have been the 1st to signup! The earlier you start in the 2nd language journey the more easily they absorb which sets the base for success in the later years. I have added some photos of materials used because that's all I have now, but it's only a small subset of interactive activities she provided.

I recently enrolled at Conejo Valley adult education for a certificate program for office manager in order to get back up to speed in order to support myself after my divorce is final. It is a scary time... but fortunately for me, Chris Wilson has been my teacher for the first two classes in my certificate program. He is so thorough and makes sure every student knows what they are doing. I suddenly feel empowered. Because I am not just going through the motions. I am re-learning what I knew so long ago after many years. The class projects that he gives us proves to me that I actually know what he's teaching. I did not think I would be able to get back what I have lost. It is apparent that Mr. Wilson loves his job and he truly is rooting for his students and is willing to help them however he can. I recently had an early meeting with my attorney during class hours which I could not change. So I ended up being over an hour late for class. He was so accommodating and came to me during class break and caught me up on everything that the rest of the class had gone over that morning. Mr. Wilson has been my instructor for the first two classes for my certificate program. I can only hope that as I move forward, any other instructor that I encounter at the Conejo Valley adult school will be as knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient as he has been with the entire class.
