    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.

    Oasis Trilingual Community School is truly a hidden gem in all of LA. What makes this school so…read moreexceptional isn't just the academics, but the deep sense of community amongst all the students and families. The teachers and staff are profoundly dedicated. You can tell they don't just see this as a job; they are deeply invested in the growth and well-being of every single child. They gladly volunteer on Friday nights for student-only events (who does this?), which proves how much they love the kids. This passion is also reflected in their unmatched language immersion program. The way they balance Mandarin, Spanish and English creates such a natural, fluid learning environment that gives the kids a massive head start for global travel, learning and potential work as adults. The most special and rare part of Oasis Trilingual is the community. It's the kind of place where all the parents actually know each other. There is a tangible sense of "it takes a village" here--everyone is willing to volunteer, dedicate their time, and step up to help the school thrive. Seeing so many parents who are genuinely invested in the success of all the children, not just their own, is what makes this environment so unique. Parents don't just drop-off and leave; they drop-in and help. If you are looking for a school that offers both high-level bilingual or trilingual education and a warm, supportive community that feels like family, this is it!!! 100/10.

    We are just completing our second year at Oasis and can't recommend it enough. Our son started in…read moreTK, and he has excelled academically and socially. We appreciate the individualized learning plans that consistently challenge him. He's learned so much in both Mandarin and Spanish, despite little to no exposure before Oasis. His sister is joining in TK next year and loved her trial day on campus. The parent community has been terrific - everyone is committed to what's best for the school and the students, and we support each other. Oasis has the best parts of a small, community-driven school with a keen attention to educating the whole child.

They charge the most expensive tuition among the…read morethree big Chinese schools in the area: First Ave Education, First Chinese School, and ACS. $625 for half-day summer program while the other two charge $480 and $500. Yet, they have the worst teachers and most importantly, they don't care about students. My son went on a field trip with them today. It's 95 F outside. Guess what? They didn't buy any lunch for them! Well, I don't mind bringing our own lunch, but they never told us to prepare a sack lunch for the field trip! I can't believe they don't even care providing a few dollar lunch in such a hot weather for the kids! They don't care if the kids are hungry or would get heat stroke or not! WTF! My son has been starving from 8:30am til 5:30pm! He had to ask his classmates to share some cookies with him. How good a school would be if all they care about is money, not the quality of teaching or don't even have the very least common decency to care for students????!!! Last week when they cancelled a field trip, they didn't let the parents know IN ADVANCE and yet they changed the drop-off location. They taught students some very idiotic songs to sing for Father's Day! Basically, this is a school without good communication, very disorganized, and is run by people whose objective is only to make money but not teaching or caring for students!

    My son use to come to this Chinese school when it was owned by Principal Min Mey Chang. It wasn't…read moreuntil a couple years ago that she sold the school and everything went downhill from there. Under the management of the prior principal, the Chinese school was a success. I was recommended by many of my friends and co-workers so I decided to enroll my son who was in the first grade at the time. There was many Chinese teachers to choose from depending on your Chinese level. My son was put with Susan who was a bubbly teacher and always made sure the kids were taken care of. My son only went for the Saturday classes but eventually enrolled in the after school program as well. I was a little skeptical when I saw the English teacher Joe but she did an exceptional job with the students and became one of my son's favorite teacher. When the school was sold, many of the teachers eventually left and the school was left with one Chinese teacher to attend to a classroom of students. They hired a new English teacher who couldn't control the kids. The most upsetting thing was that my son never finished his homework by the time I would pick him up. I overheard a disgruntled parent complaining that the teacher did not notice her son didn't show up to class for a week. After a year of putting up with the unorganized structure of the new school, I decided to take my son elsewhere. Lastly, I would highly suggest parents do their research on this after school before deciding to enroll your children. Please do not waste your time on an after school that is run by students instead of the teachers. Edit: Recently, my son came home and told me that a former classmate was attending an after school that Joe and another Chinese teacher had opened in Arcadia just down the street from Arcadia Chinese school. I was told many of the students at Arcadia Chinese school migrated to the new after school because of the popularity of the teachers. I will be checking out the new after school to ensure the quality.

My car is not the newest and my car has so many mileage on it already. So my cars engine died this past Thursday in the morning driving to school. Not the schools fault but just giving you my life update. While I live in Northridge! I give this place a 4 because and the only reason why I took away a star is because they told me the class was going to start feb 23rd, they pushed it back a week, and they gave us the wrong calendar and not the updated part of the calendar! This is the only reason why I give it a 4 and not a 5 I love how they have sections they have the hands on part to build a house, they have another section to teach you math, and the final part of life skills such as making a resume and mock interviews. They also have us go out to habit for humanity to get hands on experience work site which I appreciate and making great networking opportunities! It's the light skin dragon blasting off into the area which is foreign to me and gaining info to use before the AI or robots take over the planet.

Development program that is geared to kids that actually play What we didn't expect was all of the added benefit included. 1. Free WiFi 2. Seating area for the parents 3. Controlled class size so each child gets adequate attention 4. Kids that welcome the new kids. (Nice touch) 5. Lots of classes and slots to keep the kids challenged 6. Clean bathrooms 7. Nice uniformed shirts that gives the kids a sense of belonging 8. like minded parents. To make this more personal we asked the kids to review the coaches in their own words. Coach Kurt -From Roman. Very funny, teaches me card tricks, knows a lot about soccer, has nice shoes and looks like a body builder . Always blocks my shots as a goalie. Coach Destiny - From Oly. She's very patient, good at explaining drill. Very nice, pretty and always smells good. Looks like Nelly Furtado. Coach Edgar - Oly/Roman he taught us how to be aggressive on defense . He's funny. Gave me the nickname Waka Waka. He's agile like a cat and has nice ball movement . I copied him and started wearing gatos. Coach Henry - Oly/Roman- he was scawy (oly's words) at the beginning but it wasn't that. He has high standards and disciplined. The more we get to know him he shows his caring side and teaches us the small things that make us better soccer players. He has awesome tattoos He builds his practices in layers so we can understand. This will build your kids from whatever level to the next level . Amazing value compared to what we pay. The best way we can say thank you to a great business is to continue referring potential clients . I've referred many and will continue as a thank you . Thanks for welcoming us. Now we live by the mantra " best never rest, rest at the end."

I let my husband take care of the booking and checking out this place and I just came to the day of the party. I seriously came with little no expectations and just left in total awe. Joan and Kurt were very friendly, helpful, and through. The rest of the night, I couldn't help but praise how wondering they both were. We had 2 coolers but they provided one big cooler which made life 10x easier for us. We ended up combining our two into their one cooler. They had tables and chairs set up for us prior to us arriving. The cheap plastic table clothes I purchased at Dollar Tree were not even used because they had nice black ones on the table for us already. Joan even had a food warmer and it helped our food stay nice and warm for the guests. Joan kept offering to help and I told her its ok and she did so anyways which I am so thankful for. I'm used to doing everything so it was really nice being able to finish with set up early. They helped us clean and put things away. If you have a little one that loves soccer, this is the spot to book! You can pay extra and have a referee there to help coordinate a real game. Unfortunately, our guests/my son did not end up playing a game because they just enjoyed kicking the ball around with each other. They also train if your little one is interested in learning how to be a better soccer player. I need to still reach out to Kurt to have my son try it out. I do think the facility is nice and clean. Well kept and is such a needed place for our SGV community! I definitely give this spot 2 thumbs up!
