My daughter attended MyExamprep last summer. She had a great experience. The curriculum is great. He is very consistent with practice tests and in providing the feedback. That was helpful for the students to understand what needs to be improved. He makes himself available to meet or talk . Overall we are very happy with test results.

My daughter had an amazing experience with Myexamsprep. Mr. Goel’s class helped improve her essay writing tremendously and gave her the skills and confidence to express her ideas more effectively. Their guidance and support played a big role in helping her get admitted into the Academies of Loudoun. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend them

We highly recommend MyExamPrep for students preparing for the AOS and AET exams. Our son used the platform for sample tests, and the process was incredibly effective. The feedback provided on his essays was a highlight—Anil provided high-quality, insightful critiques and always delivered them on time. This guidance played a major role in his preparation, and I am thrilled to share that my son was accepted into the AOS program! We had a great experience with MyExamPrep and would definitely recommend it to others.

We had a great experience with Mr. Anil Goel—his student-focused approach, responsiveness, and practical guidance stood out right away. His structured approach and deep experience make him an invaluable guide for families navigating college admissions.

Mr. Goel is a great instructor and his classes were useful for my son. My exam prep has good content for exams like AAET prompts and SAT prep, which was very helpful for the mentioned exams.

Excellent experience from start to finish with SA Driving School. Great communication. Saby was patient, knowledgeable, and supportive, helping both our kids become safe and confident drivers. Our oldest son completed his class 2 years ago and today our youngest son completed his. We are thankful for the positive experience and we highly recommend this driving school to other families 🙂

Had Ali for behind the wheel, he was so helpful and made the process easy and stress-free. He was extremely helpful with corrections and helping you get over bad driving habits. I definitely recommend going with SA driving for lessons or behind the wheel!

Akbar is a great driving instructor. He explains everything clearly and teaches in a structured way that makes things easy to understand. He helped me feel comfortable behind the wheel and get rid of the anxiety I had about driving. He stays calm, corrects mistakes clearly, and doesn’t create unnecessary stress. He covered everything I needed for the driving exam and made sure I was properly prepared. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled instructor.

I had a great experience learning with Ali at SA Driving School. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and professional throughout every lesson. What stood out the most was how he helped me identify habits I didn’t even realize I had, and corrected them with clear, practical advice. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn the right way!

I'm happy to recommend SA Driving School. Both our kids took Behind the Wheel with SA. The School was incredibly flexible with our busy schedules. In addition, the instructor was professional and responsive. Great value for the money as well.

For more than a decade, My son has been learning and growing with NotesnBeats , studying violin, piano, and Indian vocals. Ms. Veena, Mr Ivan and Ms Rihanna are amazing teachers. It has been a beautiful journey watching him develop his musical talents alongside his personal confidence. The teachers here are wonderfully patient, passionate, and dedicated lifting up every single student. They make learning music joyful while building a rock-solid foundation. They provide so many great opportunities for the kids to perform and showcase their skills. Unforgettable experiences like the Summer Charity Shows and performing at Carnegie Hall have taught him the true value of teamwork, community service, and performing under the big lights. We owe a huge thank you to the NotesNBeats team for their years of guidance, encouragement, and care. If you are looking for exceptional music lessons and a nurturing community for your family, I recommend NotesnBeats from the bottom of my heart.

My daughter has been taking online violin classes with Mr. Vishnu from Kerala, India, and we are extremely happy with the experience. He is a highly talented teacher who brings both skill and passion to every lesson. What stands out most is his humble and down-to-earth nature, which makes students feel comfortable, confident, and encouraged. He demonstrates remarkable patience while teaching, ensuring that each concept is thoroughly understood before moving forward. He also goes the extra mile by offering makeup classes whenever needed, which we truly appreciate. His dedication, flexibility, and genuine interest in his students’ progress make a significant difference. Overall, we feel very fortunate to have found such a committed, supportive, and inspiring violin teacher for our daughter.

My daughter has grown and learned so much at NnB! It is truly an amazing music school that provides so many incredible opportunities for kids. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching environment!

My son has been learning guitar at Notes N’ Beats, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Mr. Vishnu and Mr. Thomas Creek are outstanding instructors – patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about teaching music. They not only focus on technique and theory, but also make learning fun and engaging, which has really motivated my son to practice and grow as a guitarist. The owner, Miss Veena, as the name states, is truly the soul and heart behind everything at Notes N’ Beats. Her vision, dedication, and love for music shine through in every aspect of the studio, creating an inspiring and nurturing environment for all students. The studio itself has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you can tell the entire team genuinely cares about their students’ progress. We’ve seen tremendous improvement in my son’s playing, confidence, and love for music since joining. If you’re looking for a place in Ashburn that combines high-quality music instruction with a supportive community, I highly recommend Notes N’ Beats.

My sister, Neythra Batchu, has been singing with Notes N Beats for a while now, and the growth she’s experienced has been nothing short of incredible. After about 2 years of singing, she was struggled vocal nodules and had a tough time finding her voice again. The teachers at Notes N Beats were not only patient and supportive but also incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to understand her challenges and helped her rebuild her technique safely and confidently. Thanks to their guidance, Neythra was able to overcome her vocal struggles and develop into a fabulous singer. Her voice is now stronger, more controlled, and continues to improve every week. We are so grateful for the dedication and care the instructors have shown her throughout this journey. Notes N Beats has made a lasting and meaningful impact on her musical path, and we couldn’t be more thankful!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience! My older son has been attending for the past year and loved the summer camps, and this year my younger son joined too. As someone who loves dance myself, I truly appreciate how the instructors make even challenging choreography feel easy to learn. Their passion, discipline, and positive energy shine through in every class. A special mention to this week’s Mythology Summer Camp—it was beautifully organized! I loved hearing my little one excitedly talk about Lord Krishna and His leelas every day. It was such a meaningful blend of learning, culture, and fun. We truly feel lucky to be part of this wonderful community! Love the team! Sujin sir,Girish sir, Chakradhar sir , Abhilash sir and Aanal maam!

Wonderful experience! My daughter attended the dance summer camp and it was amazing. Instructors and volunteers created a very positive and encouraging environment. My daughter learned a lot and her confidence has improved. Will definitely continue with regular classes and upcoming camps.

Attended the Lavani workshop by Ashish Patil, 'The Lavani king'!!! Ashish Dada is such a big celebrity himself but one of the most kind and modest person I have ever met. People here at Studio Dhoom are very welcoming. Girish Sir, Abhilash sir, Sujeet Sir, Aanal Mam, and everyone are very helpful.

There are nearly 25–30 students packed into a very small dance room. The space is so limited that kids can’t even move their hands freely, which seriously affects their ability to learn, practice, and perform properly. It’s extremely overcrowded, and the environment does not feel safe or supportive for young learners. The owner seems more focused on maximizing enrollment because the studio is popular in this area, rather than maintaining quality. Parents should think carefully before joining, as this setup can negatively impact children’s experience and growth

I have attended few workshops conducted by Studio Dhoom and they were amazing. Aanal and her team of instructors are phenomenal and extremely well trained and dedicated dancers. Would definitely recommend them if you are looking for beginner to advanced level dance classes.

I highly recommend Drive Well Driving School – great service overall and a wonderful instructor LaQuisha. She was so attentive to my needs and very encouraging. I became a much more confident driver after our lessons.

Overall, I feel as though I had an amazing experience with Drive Well Driving School and totally recommend it. Prior to signing up for lessons, I had little to no driving experience and was extremely nervous behind the wheel, but after completing 4 one-hour lessons with Ms. Laquisha, I was able to become more confident in my ability to drive and even passed my road skills test first try. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without Ms. Laquisha’s help, as she is one of the most patient, kind-hearted, and encouraging instructors you could ask for. I couldn’t have done it without her and will be forever grateful towards the Drive Well Driving School. Thank youu!

I had the pleasure of taking behind-the-wheel classes with Mr. Salman, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. He was always punctual, highly professional, incredibly patient, and very supportive throughout every lesson. His calm and encouraging teaching style made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel from day one. Mr. Salman explains everything thoroughly and clearly, making even complex driving techniques easy to understand. He pays close attention to detail, ensures safety at all times, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress and success. Thanks to his excellent guidance, I was able to significantly improve my driving skills and build strong confidence on the road. I wholeheartedly recommend Drive Well Driving School, especially Mr. Salman — he is truly an exceptional instructor and without a doubt the very best!

I had an amazing experience with Drive Well Driving School! My private 1-on-1 driving section was super helpful. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and make me feel comfortable every step of the way. I learned a ton and felt way more confident behind the wheel. Highly recommend if you are looking for some solid driving instruction!

I highly recommend Drive Well Driving School for anyone from learning to drive or needing to regain confidence on the road. I signed up for it after already acquiring my driver’s lesson, but I had lived in the city for multiple years and was out of practice. I was very nervous driving on the road and so I completed 10 private one-on-one driving session. Thanks to this class, I regained my confidence on the road and I’m a much better driver than I ever used to be. Highways, lane transitioning, and parking are a lot easier. I wish I had taken this class when I was trying to get my learner’s permit and drivers license. Each class is reasonably priced and timed, with either 60 minutes or 75 minutes. I recommend the 75 minutes since time can really fly by in an hour and it gives you more time to drive on harder roads. If you or someone you know is looking to master driving in the Northern Virginia area, then Drive Well Driving School is a perfect fit!

Its been a great experience learning driving from Angel Driving School. The driving instructor Mr Agha Khan is an amazing gentleman who puts the student at ease, but is firm while correcting the errors. It was wonderful learning driving from him. Mr Khan is kind, very knowledgeable, has a lot of patience and is very encouraging. Any error or mistake done will be corrected and good practice given till it is not repeated. He teaches tips and techniques to remain safe on the road, as well as help become a better driver. I sincerely recommend Mr Khan and Angel Driving School 👍

Mr. Khan is such an amazing instructor! I went with him for driving lessons and Behind the Wheel. He is such a friendly, calm, informative yet firm person. With his help I was able to get my license! I 100% recommend going with Mr.Khan if you need to learn how to drive. He definitely helped with my nerves and taught me how to be a safe driver!

This Driving is school is really good for those who are nervous and new drivers. I took my driving lessons with Mr. Khan(Best instructor). He is a very experienced and skilled driving instructor. He not only gives us the driving instructions but also gives the much needed confidence for safe driving. I will recommend to take driving classes from Mr. Khan.

Mr. Khan is the best teacher in our area. For my son was easy to learn with him. He has a lot of patience and experience with student. My son was very happy with his driving classes. I recommend everyone to go ahead and give him a call if you need his services.

Angel Driving School is the best driving school. Mr. Khan was my instructor, he's been doing this for 20 years. He's great because he has a flexible schedule & works around your schedule too. My siblings also learned driving from him. He's an amazing teacher & I would recommend this school to everyone!

I love this swim school. The teachers, Nevaeh and Adam, are kind and patient with my 3 year old son. They communicate clearly and are understanding! I love them both and my son looks forward to his lessons. I can’t wait to see my son keep learning to swim with both of them.

Very disappointing experience after being with Goldfish Swim School for several years. When we decided to stop our children’s lessons, we gave them the required 30-day notice. They later claimed they had lost or misplaced the paperwork and still charged us for a full additional month. When I asked for a refund, they simply refused. What makes this even more frustrating is that over the years, whenever they did not have enough swim instructors, they would change our children’s lesson dates and times whenever it was convenient for them. Parents were expected to adjust to their staffing problems, but when they made a mistake with our cancellation paperwork, suddenly there was no flexibility at all. After being loyal customers for years, I expected much better customer service and accountability. Charging a customer because your own staff lost the cancellation paperwork and then refusing to correct it is unacceptable. Unfortunately, this is the reason we will not be returning and I cannot recommend this location.

We absolutely love Goldfish Swim School in Ashburn! Our 4-year-old looks forward to his lesson every single week and proudly tells all his friends about it. It has been amazing to watch his confidence grow week after week — not just in the water, but overall. The commitment is easy for busy families, and the make-up process is a breeze, which we truly appreciate. The facility is always clean, organized, and well run. Every staff member we’ve encountered has been kind, patient, and incredibly helpful. You can genuinely tell they care about the kids and their progress. We’re so grateful to have found such a positive and supportive environment for our child to learn and grow!

I especially recommend the private classes with Carson Lambia. The child gets individualized attention and progresses rapidly. Being able to stay afloat and swim 10 feet, is an achievable goal for a 4 year old, ensuring that in case of accidents the child doesn’t drown. I strongly recommend the Loudoun location as the management (Ms Ruby is very flexible and caters to their clients. For Goldfish, child comes first.

Our experience with them has been very bad. The coaches are not qualified and have no real experience in swimming training. They take a very long time between each level and the next, there is no proper follow-up, and there are no regular evaluations or tests. Update: The Goldfish team quickly contacted us to address the issue, and I appreciate their willingness to listen and take our concerns seriously.

My family and I have been training here for approximately half a year and we have felt so privileged to be part of this school and family. Since moving to this academy, my children have a renewed and invigorated interest in training. The family of instructors who own and run the gym are exceptional with children, really patient, and make learning jiu jitsu fun and accessible. My oldest son, who is on the spectrum and struggles socially, is actually able to connect and learn from the instructors. My middle son, who always struggled to enjoy sports, actually enjoys training and classes here. And my youngest son, who always loved jiu jitsu, found a team to push his limits and support him in competition. My wife and I, despite our busy schedules, have been able to learn a lot thanks to their availability of classes and wonderful instruction. Which is all to say, this school had a lot to offer whatever your jiu jitsu level and motivation is. More importantly, the instructors have created an outstanding environment for learning jiu jitsu. The students here, adults and children alike, are all awesome and invested in the school and each other. A sentiment that is certainly modeled by the owners of this gym. I can’t recommend this academy enough as it has grown to be a big part of our jiu jitsu journey and become family to us.

I’ve been training here for over a month now and have already gained so much. When I first walked in I was really nervous and not super confident, with zero martial arts or jiu jitsu experience I did not really know what to expect. But the professors and community here made me feel welcome and supported right away. These classes have honestly become the highlight of my week! I’m so glad I took a chance on something new and found the women’s program at Gracie Humaita Ashburn. It’s been the most rewarding workout, mental challenge, and mind-body connection I’ve ever experienced. So grateful I gave it a shot and would 10/10 recommend to anyone kickstarting or accelerating their bjj journey.

I was looking for a place to boost my child’s confidence level and found Gracie Humaita a perfect place to provide more than what I asked for my child’s needs. I visited several places with my husband and when we visited Gracie Humaita for a trial, we both knew this was the place for our child. Everyone is so friendly and very patient when working with my son (3yr old) which I feel it’s very important for this young age group. My son was very shy and nervous during his first week but by 3rd week, he is no longer shy and excited to go to class. In class, he shows me his "strong arms" which shows me he is no longer shy and shows me he feels more confident than he was before. At the end of the class, he would tell me the class was so fun and he did so well! Even though Gracie Humaita was the furthest one from our house compared to other locations we visited, this place is worth the time and drive seeing how much my son has improved in less than 4 weeks!! Highly recommend to everyone who is thinking about Jujitsu to go in for a trial because once you visit, you will feel confident about this place.

We’ve had a great experience at Gracie Humaitá Ashburn. It’s a family-owned academy with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere from day one. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping every student improve, regardless of experience level. Everyone at the academy has been incredibly friendly and made us feel like part of the family. It’s an excellent place for both kids and adults, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality Jiu-Jitsu training in a positive, family-oriented environment. Five stars!

We enrolled our son at Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu about a month ago, and we've already seen such a positive difference. He's happier, more confident, and genuinely looks forward to every class. Seeing him excited to go each week has been amazing. All of the coaches are incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging with the kids. They do a wonderful job creating a supportive environment while still teaching discipline, respect, and great techniques. We also really appreciate that they offer flexible options to fit different schedules and financial situations, making it easier for families to participate. We're so glad we chose Gracie Humaita BJJ and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a positive, welcoming place for their child to learn and grow!

Since coming to Thapasya, I have improved so much from when I took classes online. Ms. Sudha always corrects me when I am doing something wrong and helped me fix it. Because of her, my dancing has improved significantly. It has been a really great experience and I really enjoy learning from Ms. Sudha and from all of the performance opportunities she gives us. I really appreciate that she takes the time to give us specific feedback on what we are doing wrong even when she has so many other students. I have learned so much from Ms. Sudha in the years I have been here and am continuing to do so.

Mrs. Sudha is an amazing dance teacher. I have been going to Thapasya School of Dance for 7 years and it had been a great experience. Mrs. Sudha makes dance enjoyable and I look forward to it every week. My dance skills have improved so much over the years because Mrs. Sudha corrects me when I make mistakes. Her teaching is very effective and I am able dance to the best of my abilities at Thapasya.

My 6-year old daughter just finished her first year in Ms. Sudha's class and she learned a lot and enjoyed it immensely. I was looking for a traditional, classical Indian dance class for my daughter and was so happy a friend recommended Thapasya. Ms. Sudha's classes focus on learning the proper forms and names for each form, which I think is very important for students to learn. The dance recital (Samarparnam) at the end of the year was beautiful and it was very inspiring to see the older students and how skilled they are in their technique. You can tell Ms. Sudha really teaches from her heart and cares for each student and that this is her passion. My daughter can't wait to resume sessions in the fall and her younger sister will join her as well when she is old enough. Can't recommend enough!

Mrs. Sudha is an excellent dance teacher. My daughter has been learning Bharatanatyam from last year. I like how Mrs. Sudha teaches, she builds strong basics of dance and makes it interesting to kids. Mrs. Sudha is very professional in teaching her students. I was impressed of her commitment, dedication and passion from the dance performance in May 2022, my Daughter's first performance on stage. I would highly recommend her for any students. I am glad that my Daughter is learning Bharatanatyam from her.

At Thapasya, we found a guru who is fully committed and dedicated to this amazing ancient art form. Ms. Sudha loves her dance , loves her students and is passionate to teach the art form with utmost respect and discipline. We are very happy with how much our daughter progressed in a year learning dance and enjoying it at the same time. Looking to learn Bharatanatyam from on a serious note please join the Thapasya Family !!

We have had a great experience with RSM Ashburn for our son’s second-grade math class. The teachers are excellent, very knowledgeable, patient, and cooperative. They explain concepts in detail and make sure the kids understand the material rather than just memorizing it. We have noticed that our son is learning well and becoming more confident in math. We really appreciate the teachers’ dedication and the quality of instruction. Highly recommend RSM Ashburn for anyone looking for a strong math program for their child!

We have been very happy with our experience at RSM over the past couple of years. The program has been instrumental in challenging our son and helping him develop a much stronger foundation in mathematics. One of the things we particularly appreciate is the level of academic rigor. He is currently in 3rd grade at school, but is already placed in 4th Grade Honors at RSM, which reflects how much he has progressed through the program. The curriculum consistently challenges him beyond his grade level while also encouraging deeper mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills. We have seen a noticeable improvement not only in his mathematical abilities but also in his confidence when approaching challenging problems. The structured approach and emphasis on understanding concepts rather than simply memorizing procedures have been especially valuable. Overall, RSM has been a great experience for him, and we appreciate the teachers and the program for continuing to challenge him and support his growth.

RSM Ashburn is a great math school! The teachers are knowledgeable, supportive, and do a great job making math easier to understand. Our experience has been very positive, and we would definitely recommend RSM to other students and parents.

RSM has been a great help in strengthening my kid’s math skills. Ms. Abby is very dedicated and diligent, and I truly feel that she wants to help kids understand math and thrive in the subject. I would definitely recommend RSM!

We came in to see RSM Ashburn through a friend’s referral. It is an amazing center, Teachers are very friendly and informative. They explain everything in detail and answer all questions. We started our son this year for Math. Have been wonderful so far. Highly recommend it.
