While The Magic Circus' website speaks to the kinds of activities for which you can hire them, it doesn't talk about the fact that they are truly professional and inspiring performers. I hired the Magic Circus for my Wife's birthday party, an adult event, and the magic show and performance that Bebe and Benny delivered was entertaining and engaging, and people are still talking about it years later. There was a piece that Bene performed, with just the brim of a hat, that was hysterical and showcased his effortless range as a comedic actor.

This is going to be an essay, so prepare yourself. Make sure you take a bathroom break and drink…read moreplenty of water during the intermission between paragraphs. This program was BS and even reading about said BS requires one to take a break. Because of this program, because of its negligence of a horrible situation I was forced to make the decision to leave completely. Left the apartment, left the city and the state! The staff couldn't get any worse. I was in the rapid rehousing program with Cheyenne as a caseworker. Upon entering the Mendocino Ave location you will notice that most of staff act like unprofessional high school students behind the counter. There was an old caseworker that had that quit, that also doesn't approve of the way this program is run. She was amazing, it's unfortunate they lost such a good worker. Anyway, I was in their housing program and paired up to share an apartment with one of their other clients. The client they set me up with had a baby and was pregnant. I didn't mind this, but I was nervous going into it. Needless to say my experience with said roomate was a disaster. She never cleaned up after herself and she would leave trash bags full of diapers in her room that would stink up the entire apartment. I was so used to the ammonia smell that I didn't even smell it anymore. My step dad came to visit and he got a blast of piss smell the second he walked through the door. It was nauseating. My roomate would leave food rotting and molding on the counters for weeks at a time and bring different men over constantly. I felt like I was living in a brothel. The program knew about the problems in the household and set up a chores list and other rules. I followed them did my chores, but she did not do her part. I had many problems with this roomate and could write a lot more about it but I'll end it there. She was awful and the program didn't do anything about her behavior towards me. I was so happy to leave this program. The only good thing about it was that they set us up in a really nice apartment complex, but the apartment was very very expensive so eventually we would have to pay full price. It's not really setting us up for success when the rent will eventually be too high. I had to fight bail and tooth to allow my ESA dog to stay with me but I'm glad I was eventually able to do that. The apartment complex itself was very dog friendly it was the program I had to fight with. I could add so many more things but aim tired of writing this so I'm just going to post.

Jay was an incredible resource throughout my California Bar Exam journey, and I highly recommend…read morehim, especially for repeat takers. His approach to the essays, MBEs, and particularly the PT completely changed the way I approached the exam. He helped make difficult concepts and strategies feel much more structured, manageable, and practical under timed conditions. What stood out most to me was how much he genuinely cared about his students and their success. His guidance, materials, and encouragement made a huge difference in my confidence and preparation. I'm very grateful for everything he taught me, and I'm happy to say that I ultimately passed the California Bar Exam. I truly believe his tutoring played a major role in helping me get there.

The first time I used Barbri and I felt like I was just trying to complete the assignments without actually learning anything. The second time I tried to do it with various books and materials. Jay takes the time to understand you and how you learn so that you can comprehend and truly understand the material. You must also put in your hard work and complete the assignments. Don't hesitate!!

I felt like I hit the jackpot in finding Annie of Right Fit Educational Consulting. Our situation…read morewas unique in that our intelligent, motivated student wanted to look into switching schools as a a rising sophomore. We weren't expecting to be looking for another school as she just started her freshman year but she knew right away that it wasn't a good fit. Annie guided us by getting to know our daughter and our family well. She talked to us about boarding schools as she is very familiar with the East Coast boarding school scene. She attended a boarding school fair with us and made introductions as she knows many of the schools admission officers. While we ultimately decided that boarding school wasn't for us, she did lead us to an excellent private high school in San Francisco. She made the daunting search bearable and even fun. She was easy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in investigating boarding schools both coasts or independent schools in the SF Bay Area.

She cried after her first summer school midterm. By the final exam, her attitude was- I got this! Understanding the material, check. Good study habits, check. Confidence- priceless.

Chris is an outstanding counselor. He helped me write my essays for UCs and the Common App and…read moresupplementals for schools such as NYU and Columbia. His organization and the information he provides about all of the schools are amazing and reduced the stress of having to research all of the small things for each school I was interested in. The way he guided me to write the essay was efficient and saved me a lot of time as I didn't have to write the same essay for another question that was similar to the last. I was able to finish my essays by August. It was a big relief and the whole process seemed very manageable with his help. His ability to provide fluidity in my writing and his knowledge of college admissions helped me especially because my writing was "impenetrable" or difficult for someone who didn't know me to understand. Besides the support he gave me with essays, he was also very easily accessible and understanding. I had his number and if there was anything that came up in the way of a meeting, I could just text him and I got a response in less than an hour. Any rescheduling of a meeting was simple and caused no trouble. Chris is a very straightforward person and gave me the support and advice I needed to write my essays. He is also pretty funny and a down-to-earth person which helped as meetings didn't come as something I didn't want to do. Chris was a great college counselor and I recommend him as his understanding of the application process and his ability to tutor and write were a great help.

In fact, after my acceptance into Cal, the admissions team asked if they could publish my personal statement to help other prospective students. Out of thousands of applications, they remembered mine! I highly recommend Chris for anyone who struggles to put their thoughts to paper for a personal statement. Thanks to Chris, my life trajectory changed in ways I never imagined. Chris has also tutored me in other areas such as Math and Writing. Learning never ends and Chris is unceasingly helpful in all aspects of my life. He is the most incredible writer I have ever met. I also plan on using Chris' services when I enter the work force after college. Meticulously written cover letters, resumes and thank you notes will put you above the rest. Thank you Chris. I am forever grateful.

My daughter has been working with Teacher Kyle for 8 years, and I can't recommend her enough! She…read moreis kind, patient, and incredibly supportive, which makes learning Mandarin feel encouraging instead of intimidating. She is incredibly resourceful --whether it's tailoring lessons to my goals (conversational, ordering food, asking for directions), finding creative ways to explain tricky grammar, or sharing practical tips for real-world conversation, she always make sure students walk away with a deeper understanding, lots of practice time with each other, and had fun while doing it by focusing on topics that interests them or gamifying the lessons. She even wrote her own book series based on her experiences of what works best with young children and teens. Kyle balances professionalism with genuine warmth, so every session feels both productive and enjoyable. Despite my daughter's crazy schedule with sports, music, school activities, teacher Kyle always finds a way to be flexible and accommodate our needs. My daughter is now in high school and of course chose mandarin as her language of study because of the fun and support she received from teacher Kyle. If you're looking for a mandarin teacher who is not only skilled but also truly invested in your success, look for teacher Kyle!

My daughters, ages 9 and 12, have been taking Mandarin Chinese classes with Kyle Laoshi (Teacher…read moreKyle) for 3 years now. She's been a wonderful teacher and makes learning Chinese a fun and enjoyable experience. She's friendly, engaging, and always has such positive energy. I'm so glad we found her! Kyle Laoshi uses a variety of games and activities to keep the class interesting, and she's so good at motivating my kids with fun digital prizes that they talk about with each other like they're real. ;] They like working from the printouts she provides, and they love how she shares funny personal stories related to the content they're learning. The class is a quick 30 minutes which works great for our busy schedule. Kyle makes efficient use of time in each session. The pace is just right and my kids are focused and engaged the whole time. Kyle is able to get them to chat conversationally in Chinese and participate often in each class. Our classes are usually a mix of native and non-native speakers, as well as kids of different ages. Kyle takes a lot of time before each new semester to make sure each student is placed in the best class for them. I highly recommend Kyle Laoshi as a Chinese teacher. She's a great fit for kids of all ages and skill levels, and she's always willing to work with you to find the best class for your child's needs. I'd recommend doing more than one class per week if your schedule allows, as we've found that both a conversational and a read/write class can provide a well-rounded learning experience. If you're looking for a dedicated, talented, and fun-loving teacher, Kyle is the one!

Jasmine is a wonderful tutor and we highly recommend her! In fact, I've already referred her to two…read moreother families. She's smart, responsible, and easy to work with. She's engaging and makes the sessions fun for our daughter. Jasmine is local, but given the current environment she teaches our daughter online. Unlike other online programs where there may be a language barrier between the teacher and student, the ease with which Jasmine switches from English to Chinese and vice versa makes the lessons so much more effective. Moreover, the students feel heard and understood so there isn't a lot of time wasted on misunderstandings. During the lessons, Jasmine always stays focused and gently keeps my daughter on task. She has learned more with Jasmine in the last 6 months than she did in the last couple of years at Chinese school. If you want your child to learn Chinese, I strongly recommend you reach out to Jasmine!

I am well into my adulthood and was yearning to practice and continue using Cantonese again. It's cute to understand but I wanted to be more active with it. It is incredibly useful in my profession. I have basic sentence structure down and some vocabulary. I found it difficult to practice with family because they tend to be impatient, and realistically, judgmental. I found Jasmine and was so glad I did! We had twice weekly Zoom sessions and she was very well worth it. She was patient with me and walked me through a workbook. While most languages can be learned through an app or book, the tonality of Cantonese is VERY important. Are you saying horse or mother, the number four or dead. Tones matter so having a teacher to give you feedback right on the spot is so valuable. I went back to school and still work my full time job so I don't get to have as many lessons as I want. I HIGHLY recommend Jasmine for her patience, knowledge and teaching style. Need to learn Cantonese? Get a hold of her!
