I have known Kristin for a number of years and have worked with her company, Linder Educational…read moreCoaching, to prepare for the ACT, as well as to improve my writing composition and general academic study skills. Kristin's team possesses a broad range of knowledge, encompassing all academic subjects, as well as training and advice pertaining to strong work ethic cultivation and study skill improvement. As a tutor, Kristin is professional, reliable, and understanding. She makes a point to get to know students on an individual basis so as to tailor the curriculum to the specific needs of the student. She does her job, does not get rattled, and is a positive and inspirational influence on students. In all of my experience with her, Kristin has been helpful, attentive, and courteous. She exudes an infectious "can do" attitude that played a role in my confidence-building, leading to better performance in academics, standardized tests, and on job applications. I'm now a student and undergraduate research fellow at Virginia Tech, and I continue to use the study skills that Linder Educational Coaching originally showed me. I'm sure that without LEC's influence during my high school years, I would not be where I am now. From what I've seen in other tutoring companies, such skill and expertise is very rare, and so important. I recommend Kristin and her team without question.

Kristin and her capable team have made a significant difference for our son -- and, consequently,…read morefor our entire family. What started in ninth grade as help with study skills, content refreshers and time management skills helped us all manage a difficult transition to high school. Later, the Linder team support included significant standardized test preparation, which led to marked increases in test scores. That was coupled with support in sorting colleges that fit our son, and then coaching on college applications and essays, Most sessions have been at the Hub, convenient to our son's high school. With this help, our son has gone from struggling academically to now being in a position of receiving multiple college acceptances -- some with significant financial scholarships as well as honors and fellowship possibilities. Kristin is terrific--smart, practical and caring. So is her entire team. We highly recommend!

A great place to expose kids to all the Spanish speaking cultures. Conversation, reading, writing,…read moreand arts are all included. They even invite parents to give presentations on their families' cultural heritage, latin or not. The staff really do a fantastic job in handling all types of kids. I can't say enough about how good an experience this has been for our kids. There is a strong emphasis on the arts as well as the language. Programs are adapted to handle your needs. Some kids come once a week while others come daily. When you pick up the kids after class, you need to knock on the door and they'll let you in. The center is on Gallows Road just South of Tysons. Traffic on Gallows is hectic but I've always been able to get in and out easily. We'll keep coming back as long as we're living here.

I signed up already all the way to April 2018. I love it. I do the group sessions. So far we have been 2 people in the class. The teachers are so good and nice. My Spanish knowledge today is much better than when I first started. I feel like I am advancing quickly. Before Go Spanish Now I tried many apps like Duolingo & Rosetta Stone. They helped me a lot to learn something about Spanish. But it is not the way to go if you really want to get comfortable in speaking and writing. I highly recommend Go Spanish now. The cost is very reasonable and the results are definitely amazing.

I really appreciated the detailed instructions, immediate feedback, straightforward nature of test, level of complexity & thoroughness. Also scheduling and paying for the best was a breeze. The only issue was my test started like 35 mins after it was supposed to. In all fairness, my overall time did not exceed what they had quoted me so I'm not taking any stars off for that. I was just so nervous that I became a wreck as time went on. Just factor that in folks - u may have to sit around a bit until ur test starts. Also don't drink a ginormous bucket-sized ice tea right before u start. Those tests are like 2-3 hours long!

I attended a three day EEO training course in Special Emphasis Program Management in September…read more2018, and based on my experience, I would not recommend Graduate School USA. The training course was so bad that I left two days into the three-day course, and received a full refund. The instructor made major errors in teaching us basic EEO law. I focused on EEO in law school, have passed the bar exam, and have been working in EEO law for around 2 years now; I am definitely not an expert, but I am very familiar with basic and intermediate EEO law. For example, the instructor seemed unaware of major EEO developments like sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination being protected under Title VII. To non-EEO folks, this is the equivalent of teaching astronomy but not having heard about Pluto's planetary status getting revoked. She also explicitly told a class of federal employees advice that, if followed, would make an Agency liable for failing to reasonably accommodate an individual with a disability. The instructor barely covered the course modules, and only did so on the most basic levels. She would skim a paragraph of the course book, summarize it to us, and then ask the class if they had any personal experiences to share. The majority of the class time was thus devoted to hearing student anecdotes, many of which were not related to EEO law. Some of the anecdotes also relied on racial and gendered stereotypes and denigrated individuals with disabilities. For example, one student went on an extended tangent about how she believes that "young, millennial women" in the federal workforce intentionally flirt with or seduce high-level older male managers, tempt the men into reciprocating their advances, and then file spurious sexual harassment complaints to receive large payouts. Myself and two other female students were the only millennial-aged people in the room, and previous complaints about "millennials" in the workforce were sometimes made while looking directly at us. I was uncomfortable that this statement was made at all in a professional educational environment, let alone in an EEO course, and that the instructor seemed to agree with it. The only good thing is that Graduate School USA management refunded the $999.00 cost of the training.

My only issue during my time here was that when it was time for me to print out something there printers were having problems. So I took a star off for that. Overall the place is very clean and the staff all courteous. Now to the class. Again, the instructor was amazing. She made learning the material fun and I was engaged the whole entire time. All book material and exercises done was relevant to my job and my profession and she was well knowledgeable in the subject matter. I would definitely recommend taking a class here if you are looking to advance in your career, change careers or looking to earn additional CPE credits.
