    As someone who has worked with her for over a year and plan to continue to do so, I highly…read morerecommend choosing Christi Barb, PhD. She is not only knowledgeable and practical, but has also had a tremendously positive impact on me. As an immigrant whose first language is not English, working in an English-speaking environment is challenging and frustrating. She not only helped me improve my accent and pronunciation, but also taught me how to communicate without feeling discouraged. I started the journey with her when I doubted whether I could handle my job as a healthcare worker die to the high communication demands. She made it possible and positive. I finally overcame my anxiety and found confidence. Progress doesn't happen overnight, so consistency is key. With her guidance, it is absolutely achievable.

    I truly enjoyed Christi's lessons--she's the best! Attending her class was the first time I learned…read moreabout prosody and pronunciation, which were entirely new concepts for me as an English learner. For the first time, I felt that English could be as beautiful as music, and it really motivated me to keep learning. Christi has an incredible ability to identify my mistakes and guide me with recommendations to improve my pronunciation. She's so patient and encouraging. She creates a stress-free environment where I always look forward to the next class. Thanks to her, I've noticed significant improvement in my skills, and I feel much more confident speaking out loud. She's also incredibly generous, having voluntarily hosted meetups for years and providing us with countless resources. I can't thank her enough for all her support. Christi was recommended to me by a friend, and I would absolutely recommend her to others, including you, so we can all benefit from her amazing teaching.

    I've learned manual transmission 5 years ago and got my manual license in my own country. But since…read moreit's been so long ago, and I wasn't really ready to drive in a manual in the real world and I was always dreaming of getting a manual transmission car. I was nervous, went out for test driving several manual cars, got embarrassed how bad my manual driving skill was, stalled the test drive car 2 times, and I decided to take some serious training to fresh up my memories and also learn some new useful skills of driving a manual. George is welcoming and very helpful. What he taught me, the 'pushing the clutch in a bit' technique with coordination of the gas pedal, is extremely useful. Instead of 'only let the clutch off slowly' to launch, I launched way more efficiently than I did when I was getting my license. So far I've already got 3 lessons in total. I'm gonna get the full 6 courses in the next following weeks. George told me that the clutch of STI is pretty stiff, so if you can drive the STI well that probably means you can drive any other manual cars even more comfortably. I can tell George truly cares about his students and I recommend this to anyone that wants to learn how to drive a manual transmission.

    I wish I could go lower than the 1 rating. I was given a slot from 8-10 in the night, and I reached…read morethe office half an early so that the formalities are done in time. I waited for around 45 minutes in the dark parking lot, the office was closed, although it showed open on the website. I kept calling their number, but no one picked up. I left 4 voice mails also, called in earlier in the day to confirm the appointment as well and left a voicemail then also. No one cared to call me back. And no one showed up on the site for the classes well past 8. Such a terrible experience. I hope no one goes through this ordeal.
