My daughter, Marvi, has been attending public speaking classes at Genius in You, and I am truly impressed by the progress she has made. She has become noticeably more confident and is no longer shy about speaking in front of a group. What makes this program especially valuable is that students are given opportunities to perform in front of parents and a live audience. Today, Ms. Harpreet selected Marvi to serve as the MC and provide feedback after each student’s presentation. We felt incredibly proud watching her confidently take on this important role. Ms. Harpreet gives every student personal attention, thoughtful feedback, and practical guidance. Marvi receives her feedback positively and applies it as she continues to improve. Although she still has areas to work on, I can clearly see her growth after every class. Public speaking is an essential life skill, and I truly appreciate how Ms. Harpreet encourages children to step outside their comfort zones and reach their full potential. Her patience, dedication, and structured teaching can positively influence students far beyond the classroom. I highly recommend Genius in You to any parent looking to strengthen their child’s confidence, communication, and public-speaking skills. Based on our wonderful experience, I also plan to enroll Marvi in their future AOS, AET, or TJ preparation programs.

We are very happy with our daughter’s experience at Genius in You! We’ve noticed a wonderful improvement in her public speaking skills and confidence. A special thanks to her teacher, Harpreet, for being so encouraging, patient, and supportive. We can genuinely see the positive difference her guidance is making. We’re so grateful for this wonderful experience! ❤️

My son has been attending Genius in You for the past year for public speaking, and I’ve seen great growth in him. He used to be shy and hesitant to speak around new people, but now he confidently gives presentations in front of a room full of people. He loves the class, especially his teacher. The program has helped build his self-confidence, and I would recommend it to any child who wants to become more confident.

I highly recommend GeniusInYou. My son attended the AOS/AET prep classes and he was very well prepared for the exam. We were constantly receiving feedback from Gurpreet. The curriculum focuses on concept clarity, problem-solving skills, and time management, which really helped my son gain confidence for the AOS/AET exams. Practice tests and Essays were very helpful. Thank you for your guidance.

We had an excellent experience with Mr. Gurpreet during our son’s AOS/AET/TJ test preparation. He is a highly dedicated instructor who genuinely cares about his students’ success. The classes were well‑structured, focused, and closely aligned with the test goals, which helped our son build a strong understanding of both the academic content and test strategies. Mr. Gurpreet was always approachable and responsive to our questions as parents. He consistently provided clear and constructive feedback on our son’s progress, especially after mock tests, highlighting specific areas for improvement while also encouraging his strengths. His detailed guidance on essay writing was particularly valuable, as he offered practical, actionable suggestions that significantly improved clarity, structure, and confidence. For the STEM portion, Mr. Gurpreet shared effective problem‑solving strategies, reliable resources, and additional practice materials. He often went the extra mile by providing extra practice tests and review sessions to reinforce key concepts. His ability to connect academic topics to real‑world examples made learning engaging and meaningful, and our son genuinely enjoyed attending the classes. Overall, this was a very positive and supportive learning experience. Mr. Gurpreet is not only an excellent teacher but also a thoughtful mentor. We highly recommend him to families seeking strong academic preparation and personalized guidance for competitive programs like AOS, AET, and TJ.

Julie set me up with Stephanie, who assisted my teenage daughter with getting past her lisp via several telehealth sessions. Stephanie was friendly, communicative, and transparent about the progress she was making. We couldn’t be happier w the results.

We love the team at Chatting Children, and are so grateful for them. Even in just one and a half months, my son has already made huge strides in his communication; everyone at school and our family have commented that he is doing so much better! I can't say enough good things about Chatting Children. Julie was fabulous when conducting the initial evaluation and we love/love our therapist Emily. Honestly, my son just lights up when I mention that we are going to play with Ms. Emily. The office is bright and clean and so FUN! The playground room immediately put my son at ease when we went for the initial evaluation. If you and your family are struggling with communication with one of your kids, I am convinced that you cannot find a better place than Chatting Children.

We have absolutely loved our experience with Chatting Children for speech therapy! We worked with several other speech therapists/practices prior to coming to Chatting Children and our experience here with Julie & Emily has been incredibly easy, enjoyable and really successful! In a relatively short amount of time we have seen significant progress. Family and friends have noticed these improvements as well! Our son is thriving and we are so thankful to Emily for giving us/him the tools to succeed! There aren't enough great things to say about Emily- she is friendly and engaging and so easy to talk with. It's abundantly clear that she not only cares about our son's speech progress, but also cares about his happiness and overall experience during this whole process. Our son loves her and looks forward to coming to his sessions. She is kind and caring and her passion for what she does truly shines through. She is also willing and eager to involve us in her strategy and approach for our son. At the end of each session, she always discusses what was practiced, how we can continue to implement certain exercises at home and she even provides us with additional worksheets, resources and helpful cues to ensure consistency. We highly recommend Chatting Children!

We absolutely love Chatting Children and particularly Julie who has been amazing from the beginning! Julie is patient, kind, and full of positive energy at every appointment. My daughter loves her sessions and her continuous progress with speech improvement and language comprehension is just amazing to us. I would absolutely, positively recommend Julie and her practice to other parents. She is everything we needed and more!

Our child wasn't really speaking at 18-22 months so our pediatrician suggested we start speech therapy. We thankfully found Chatting Children and were able to get an evaluation with Ms. Julie in only a few weeks. After the evaluation we received a full report and Ms. Julie placed us with the amazing Ms. Emily. At first our child was apprehensive/scared but after multiple sessions our child got extremely comfortable and would run to Ms. Emily and forgot we were there. Ms. Emily is a great speech therapist and did a amazing job tailoring different activities to our child's interests. After about a year our child made leaps and bounds and graduated! We couldn't be happier with the results and it has helped our child tremendously.

L-Lab is one of the most engaged child enrichment programs I’ve seen in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties. It’s an incredibly well-run program that provides a wealth of engaging activities that encompass language learning and hands-on STEM and Arts activities. The founder and staff are engaged with all students, and do an amazing job at creating a safe, immersive learning experience for the kids and their families. Highly recommend!

One of the best place I could send my child. Always comes home with fun stories and activities he did at LLab. Thank you team for always going above and beyond!

Amazing enrichment program! Very well-run, organized and nurturing environment for my kids. Loving staff and excellent owner. Hoya Saxa!

Such a wonderful program! L-Lab does an amazing job making learning fun and engaging for kids. I love the combination of language learning with hands-on STEM, arts, and cultural activities. The environment is welcoming, the activities are creative, and you can tell how much thought and care goes into the program. Highly recommend L-Lab to families looking for an enriching and educational experience for their kids!

Unique program for kids and the founder Yomna is great to collaborate and partner with

I highly recommend this place. The people who works there are so professional specially Selene who is friendly and has a good personality, she makes you feel welcome. You’re not gonna regret going to this place to learn. The best place to learn English definitely is gonna be C.A.P.A.

Hello, I was in several English academies, they did not give a good teaching, they were very bitter, the explanations were not good. Now I have found a difference. The C.A.P.A-Academy of English and Computing is very good. I recommend it. They are very professional in their work. The explanations are very understandable. At the same time, they are very friendly. I am learning a lot of English. The teacher Marisela is very professional in her work. If you want to learn English they can help you as they have done with me.

I would NOT recommend this school at all. Very unprofessional personal. I can say they stole my money as well as my classmates. I took a computer class and was a total money waste. They do NOT teach everything they promise they would. If I could give them a 0 star I would. Very Very disappointed for schools like this one.

It's one of the best school! If you want learn English or improve your English definitely you need go to CAPA. The teachers are the best!

Amazing school! The staff is incredibly hard working and help students reach the absolute best outcome out of the course!! I would recommend to all people in the NOVA area!

Excellent teaching. Unique and effective methodology. Caring, patient, native speakers for language instructors. My experience with Speak Bilingual was at a university level for Farsi. Each class, they came up with new material that pertained to current events or useful real-world topics we would actually use. Class was always dynamic. I was impressed how they could manage having students at somewhat varying levels in the same class. They really tailored their instruction to each students’ needs. They forced us out of our comfort zones and challenged us. The entire class was always very engaged and interactive. They had us conversing, explaining, defending, paraphrasing, etc. right from the start in the language. I did very well on language proficiency exams after studying with Speak Bilingual. I highly recommend them.

Speak bilingual was great! I am a teacher myself and thus feel qualified to say that they have excellent instructors who are enthusiastic and really love teaching. I received a lot of individual one-on-one feedback and coaching while learning a new language which was really helpful to improve my skills. The online delivery method was so convenient and gave me the flexibility to schedule classes while working. If you want to up your speaking and comprehension levels, try them out. I highly recommend their program.

I can't say enough to praise the quality of instruction I've received through Speak Bilingual. In over a year of weekly Zoom classes with Minoo Badieey, my ease and confidence in reading, writing, and conversing in Farsi has grown by leaps and bounds thanks to her patient, thorough teaching style that emphasizes discussing current events, vocabulary acquisition and etymology, and gaining an ever-deepening context and understanding of Iranian culture, past and present. The teachers at Speak Bilingual meet students where they are to acheive their language goals, no matter the skill level.

Speak Bilingual is a wonderful language program with gifted teachers who know how to tailor material to a student's needs and abilities. I've been taking Farsi classes since March and have loved my weekly classes. Though it's my first language, growing up in the US English quickly became dominate. I've grown to be embarrassed by my accent and diminishing skill. Though, thanks to my wonderful teacher, Minoo, I'm gaining experience in my heritage language, including grammar, culture, current events, and day-to-day life. It has been an amazing, all-encompassing experience. I highly recommend for any level, from beginner to advanced.

Finally I found a place to learn Persian/Farsi by professional native speakers. Their methodology and class sessions are totally different from other schools. I had already taken some courses in other places but when I came to Speak Bilingual, I found them above and beyond my expectations, and in a native-like environment. I could start speaking and reading from the very beginning. They know their job very well and care about you. Highly recommended!

Very unprofessional service. The staff often seem unsure about the information they provide, making communication frustrating and confusing. They schedule appointments only to cancel them at the last minute, with little regard for the patient's time. When they do offer to reschedule, the available appointment options are extremely limited, forcing you to wait even longer. The front desk staff were particularly disappointing. They were unhelpful, lacked professionalism, and showed little concern for the inconvenience caused to patients. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. They need to improve communication, honor scheduled appointments whenever possible, provide more flexible rescheduling options, and invest in better customer service training for their front desk staff. There are many other providers that value their patients' time far more than this one.

I’ve been bringing my son here for a year now with Ms. Sammie. She’s amazing! She is so knowledgeable in speech therapy services, and how to manage younger children. She educated me along the way and provides great advice on how we can support him at home. My son started when he was 3 years old and was diagnosed with a severe articulation delay. I’m so elated to see how much he’s improved since then! During our yearly evaluation he’s now diagnosed as mildly delayed in articulation!!! We’ve come a long way!

We absolutely love this facility! Max has been shown so much love and appreciation since beginning last year. Since we started coming to the actual office, he has loved being with Ms. Mary Kate, and Ms. Jenny! His speech has improved so much and we are truly grateful for the time that has been taken to help him out. 10/10 all around! We are so thankful 😌

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this speech therapy facility! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with kindness and professionalism. The staff is incredibly patient, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping each clients Ms. Darya and Ms. Yasneli take the time to understand individual needs and create personalized strategies that make real progress possible. Their sessions are engaging, encouraging, and filled with positivity. My son is now talking complete 3 words sentences and it’s able to comunícate likes and dislikes and talks alot. I highly recommend this facility if you want to see a big improvement in your child speech.!

Amazing just one word to describe both of my son’s therapist Mary-Kate and Megan are absolutely incredible! I just have a few weeks in and I’m all ready seeing my son speak more freely! Just saying "Good Morning" with out me telling him to say it! I’m just so thankful! 🥹 thank you !

I couldn't be happier with Bilinguitos Spanish Immersion Program. My child is happy going every week, and we're thrilled with the Spanish skills he's gaining, as well as the family feel of this lovely little community!

Awesome Spanish instruction

Both my kids started the Public Speaking and Creative Writing classes at Yay Learner, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Ms. Lin is truly inspiring — she knows how to connect with each child and bring out their confidence. One of my kids was especially shy and avoided speaking in front of others, but now confidently talks into a mic and looks forward to every session. It's amazing to see both of them enjoying learning and expressing themselves. Highly recommend!

We are absolutely thrilled with the public speaking class my daughter is taking at Yay Learner. Lin Thomas is a fantastic coach, she trains for creative writing, public speaking and also preps students for upcoming competitions, and the progress we have seen so far is incredible. Lin is not only highly skilled but also very understanding of the time and effort it takes for a child to improve. She has a deep understanding of child psychology and truly knows how to guide and motivate the kids without pushing them too hard. What stands out to us is how Lin makes sure to maintain a comfortable pace, always encouraging my daughter without overwhelming her. She also excels at keeping parents informed about their child's progress, offering continuous support, and encourages parents not to push their children too hard, allowing them to grow at their own pace. My daughter is gaining so much confidence, and we can’t wait to see how she continues to grow in her speaking abilities. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a supportive and thoughtful approach to public speaking training!

I highly recommend Yay Learner! Ms. Lin has a great ability to inspire kids, helping them recognize their strengths while gently guiding them to improve on their weaknesses. The kids leave each class feeling motivated and eager to become the best version of themselves.

My daughter recently started coaching with YayLearner for creative writing and public speaking. Ms. Lin, Ms. Savia and all teachers create a welcoming and friendly environment for the kids to feel comfortable, get excited about writing and public speaking, and feel a sense of pride after sharing them with their peers. Each class has a structured curriculum wherein the kids learn insights and techniques of storytelling and public speaking, and at the same time have the creative freedom to explore their imagination and express themselves in their own unique way. The class has a mixed age group of students. While I was initially unsure whether that would keep younger kids from openly sharing their work in front of older peers, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it works. Both classes work together in a complementary manner. Kids produce their original work and perform a public reading of their writing. The teachers’ passion and their essense of putting the ‘YAY!’ in learning shines through. They are patient with kids and help them feel inspired to truly enjoy the creative and learning process. They are highly encouraging, provide constructive feedback, and adopt a customized approach towards each student. Highly recommend the class and teachers!
