Jennifer Zimmerman: Dana R. is a joy to work with! She is very patient, teaches to attainable goals, provides an understanding of the nuances of Spanish, and adapts her teaching based on the needs and goals of her students. I have gained a lot more confidence in my Spanish since working with Dana. Would recommend to anyone, especially those looking to dust off their Spanish skills!

Parisa Re: I had the pleasure of having an instructor , Nia Hamilton for Mandarin . You cannot find a better teacher than her. So nice and patient and lovely! I hope one day she would have a youtube channel, because I have already miss her!

Brazil Ahead: what do users think?

e 1234: classes “for English speakers” most of the class will be in English and not Portuguese, while the classes “for Spanish speakers” will mostly be in Portuguese. This can be frustrating if you are in the English version and start to build your Portuguese skills but are held back by all the English speaking.The school is a bit behind technologically. WiFi does not work in most classrooms which had an effect on our lessons. The link for the “schedule” on the website has no info about the class schedules. This makes it very hard to find out what other classes are running so you can schedule makeups. They try to do some audio/video in the classes, but it is on an old DVD which is very clunky and slow. With the $75 softcover textbook you get some audio on CD instead of a pen drive or online version which makes it difficult for students without access to a CD player. We gave this feedback, but the school doesn’t seem to be interested in addressing the issues.I would like to rate higher because I have had a good experience in the classes themselves and the teachers have been dedicated. However, I have been very frustrated with poor communication about scheduling. I am interested in more classes, but It is very hard to find out if a class is even available. Many of my emails on various occasions have simply gone unanswered.

Sarah J. Vega: My family was ripped off from this company and they refuse to respond and refund the money. They have deleted all of the comments people left on social media to try and get a response. They shouldn’t be in business if they’re going to be taking peoples money without any shame or resolution. They then blocked all accounts with no response. A full refund of over $350 is expected as it has been over a year and a half since this started. My cousins name is Mathew London and he deserves his money back after not receiving the service he paid for, was bullied to pay even more when he said he could not and did not want to and then ghosted on a refund which does not take a year to approve or deny.

Portuguese Language Institute: what do users think?

Joel Shoemaker: Rosely Saad has not delivered on the promoted classes I bought and refuses to refund me, buyer beware here.The Institute was advertised on social media and I thought a great idea to compliment my classes through iTalki. On the website it showed different class options. I saw a class for six weeks starting on 9/28/22, each week from 7p-830pm. I paid $299 and have a receipt for that class. The night before the class, she emailed me asking about Mondays and Saturdays, but no reference to this class not being held. I emailed her asking if the class was still on. She did not respond. On 9/28 I showed up at the building, there was no class. I called her, she did not respond. I have told her I want a refund on 10/1, 10/3 and 10/4. She has responded telling me that when there are enough students they will have a class, and hope to have one starting 10/26. So basically Rosely Saad takes your money and when she gathers a class you should hope it works for you. Meantime I'm out $299 and will go back to the iTalki.

Aimee: . They're quick to take your money for this 15 week course but they change teachers and add new students into your course at anytime. I had 4 different teachers and new students added into my course up until week 5. And just when you thought the course had settled into routine, at week 11, they merged my class with another group who was at week 6 out of their 15! I went through the ABCs 3 times! When you complain that you're retaking the same class over, the boss lady tells you "it's good to practice". It was obvious that they had no established coursework or staff and they just taught on the fly.Teachers go on vacation and call in sick so frequent that my 15 week course dragged out to a 22 week course

Darren K: Fantastically energetic, knowledgeable teacher!

Lawrence Haseley: .My instructor - professor - teacher, Victor was incredible! He really made learning spanish fun and enjoyable! Beyond the information provided in the coursebook he shared with us the origin of how phrases and words came about as commonplace in different spanish speaking countries, and also what words and phrases to use to be culturally relevant in different spanish speaking communities. Much appreciated. Looking forward to Spanish 2!If your'e on the fence of whether to take a class...Just do it! You'll find a community among other classmates and the professor.

City Speakeasy: what do users think?

Dan Boland: City Speakeasy is a really cool experience if you are trying to learn a new language, meet new people and/or try new things. The teachers and classmates that I've had were all young, engaging and and fun to be around. Teachers were able to foster participation and enthusiastic about teaching. Students were eager to learn. The field trips are also pretty awesome. So far I've done wine tasting en francais, and a cooking class en francais aussi! They're fun, and you really get a chance to learn the intricacies of a language, such as idioms, slang, and technical terms you might not otherwise learn in a traditional setting. I would recommend this to anyone who is young at heart, adventure-seeking and eager to learn.10/10 would language learn again.

Blaise M.: that includes everything from the immersion event to the textbook, to their cool reference guide. Another great included system they have that I couldn't find in any other schools was their absent & review packets. These were sent out weekly and really helped me stay on track, even when I missed a class. Will be enrolling in the intermediate spanish class this summer! Gracias City Speakeasy!

Fluent City: what do users think?

Beth Dacquisto: I signed up for private lessons and I enjoyed my instructor, but I decided to temporarily cancel due to the fact it is my summer vacation and I want to enjoy it before picking up lessons again in the fall. I was still charged for another month of lessons despite cancelling by the set date for the auto renew. After politely requesting a refund, their office told me that wouldn't be happening and I could defer my lessons for up to 3 months. Because I'm not exactly sure when I would want to use my lessons again that'd fit with my schedule, because I am a teacher myself and the return to school is always chaotic, this wasn't an option for me. I wanted my money back. They were steadfast about not giving me back my money, despite canceling on time.I'm currently dealing with this through my credit card company to get my money back, which is incredibly sad and frustrating they couldn't simply give me back what isn't theirs. You all really lost a long-term customer over a one month auto renew of private lessons - hundreds of dollars y'all could've gotten over months of me using your services - just so you could get $180 out of me. I genuinely hope it was worth it!

Connie Yin: So far it's been a great experience!
