She is super friendly, familiar with my goals, and constantly bringing me back to how we can accomplish them. For someone not familiar with the process, learning a different language can be scary and even at times feel embarrassing. Be Bilingual goes out of their way to make one feel comfortable and at home while learning a new language in a one-on-one environment. Not to mention, for one-on-one tutoring, I have not found anything as cost effective. I would recommend and have recommended.

Great experiencing getting Suprex tutoring help for our 3rd grader in reading and language arts. In…read morethe past, we were always focused on math or STEM topics until the pandemic caused gaps in our son's reading skills which began to show up in all subjects. We had an excellent match with a tutor named Taylor C. from Suprex. Surprex staff kindly asked us if we were okay with having a male tutor since most people request a female. I am so glad we made the choice to go with Taylor because this guy created a love for reading in our son for life. Taking a break for now but hope to return to kickoff the new school year strong.

If you go to the Literacy Advance of Houston (LAH) website, you'll be confronted with a few facts…read morethat should give you pause: * Approximately 52% of adults in Harris County are functionally illiterate in English * Texas ranks 47 out of 50 states, in terms of English literacy levels * 68% of those arrested, 75% of welfare dependents, 85% of dropouts and 72% of the unemployed are identified as functionally illiterate If you're in a self-absorbed mood, the third fact should answer the question, "Why do I care?" quite convincingly. So, who's doing anything about this? LAH is! They are a non-profit organization whose mission is "to teach adults to read, write, and communicate in English so they can achieve their full potential as parents, workers, citizens, and community members." Using strictly volunteer tutors, classes are offered for free at schools, community centers, churches, corporations, and small businesses throughout the Greater Houston area. LAH has been strongly endorsed by a number of local literacy advocates whose names you've heard (some of them are volunteer tutors too): * Author and Houston's First Lady, Andrea White * Former Astro pitcher, announcer and manager, Larry Dierker * Former Oiler quarterback and General Manager of the Houston Dynamo, Oliver Luck * Former Head Coach of the Houston Comets, Van Chancellor * and many more... There are few local charities that are more deserving of some dollars you can leverage into a tax write-off or perhaps even some of your time as a tutor. In addition to the office in Galleria area, they also have an office near Clearlake. Full disclosure: I'm currently not involved with Literacy Advance of Houston in any way but I am a personal friend of its Executive Director and know a member of the Executive Board.

Glad finally the ICC expanded their program to the Elementary level for our 1st grader this coming…read more2024-2025. My kids have been going to the preschool program there since they were 2 and 3 yo. The main campus also offers Summer Camp and a Saturday morning language & other school program(s) & culture introduction that have been really helpful for adults and children. They also have annual carnival where they set up kids' activities with vendors and other parent-led supports as a fundraiser. There are semester-end performances/parties. It is a big commitment to go to Chinatown area since we live about 30-50mn away depending on the traffic, but having my children to be completely bilingual and appreciating Eastern culture would be a priority to us... it's worth it

There are basically 2 sides to this institute: regular school and the Refugee department. I have been with the Refugee department for over a year. With my education and experience I was hired on the spot. The best part is that the person who hired me also became my mentor into not only the procedures but also into BEI's culture. This alone was was priceless. Saying that, THIS company cares for the teachers as well as the student body. If I have any questions they would be answered almost immediately. During my first year I have had adult students from 10 different countries. This is an EXCELLENT place to teach students that are anxious to learn and for me to stay culturally connected which I have missed since moving back to the States. The staff works diligently in the student's placement so that they will not be overwhelmed or bored to tears. My personal schedule seems to be a priority in keeping me engaged. In 1988, BEI was one of the few private schools in Texas authorized by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service to teach English and Civics to the newly legalized immigrants who had received amnesty in the Houston area. I am extremely fortunate to have found BEI and I very strongly recommend them if you want to learn English.
