A great option for learning Mandarin Chinese as an adult. I took a 13 week Chinese class with…read moreseveral other adults and really enjoyed it. They followed a modern textbook, which was available in a digital copy or physical book. The main focus was on conversational language but they also covered transitional characters and pinyin if you want to learn the reading and writing part too. The teacher did an excellent job covering each topic and explaining things in a way that made sense for non-native speakers. There were also a few cultural experiences which was fun. I'm planning on taking another class soon and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning or improving their Mandarin Chinese.

Great place to learn!…read more I enrolled my 3 year old for the Spanish class. I was looking for something to help reinforce the language, socialize her with kids speaking Spanish so it encourages her to speak it more and to have her in an environment that embraces learning- this was the PERFECT class! I was impressed by the class curriculum & the teacher. She is energetic and is able to keep the kids engaged. She also has aides that assist. My kid really enjoyed it & asked to go back when we left. Totally worth the money and time. I will also be looking to take a different language course.

She started Academicise at age 2.5 in diapers not speaking a word of English. When she finished K1 she had been fully potty trained for more than a year, speaks English in addition to Mandarin and a little Spanish. She knows her abc's, some sight words and can write her first and last name (15 letters long), count and do simple addition. The school is very clean as well. The in house chef makes delicious food that my daughter ate 2-3 servings of each day. We would definitely recommend Academicise to anyone looking for a quality preschool. I only wish she could go back to Academicise when her private school is out for summer!

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!

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.
