Our children have been studying at Little Mountain Learning Academy for more than three years. Because English is not a language we speak at home, our kids were not fully comfortable in an English speaking environment. I wanted to improve our kids’ ability to speak, read and write in English.

And I value the professionalism of the teachers and their commitment to our kids’ learning. I am happy to see steady progress through the encouragement of good work, and visible advances in our kids’ English language skills.

After attending Early Literacy and Academic Reading & Writing, our children have shown significant improvement in their English language skills. They are now happily reading English books on their own, and, in addition, are fully engaged in their learning.

My two children (aged 6 and 10) attend the weekly English classes at Little Mountain. My oldest child started back in 2013 and I have often wondered how they managed to hire and retain such amazing staff.

The teachers: I approach the teachers at the end of each class, and they can clearly explain to me the content of the day, what was expected from the kids, what was achieved and what are the next steps for the following week. They are intelligent and know how to spark the love of learning. 

The curriculum: There has been a lot of planning and thoughtful selection of the reading and writing materials. These are not random grade-level worksheets. The materials are somehow interconnected and each class relies on the knowledge gained in the previous one, without being a bore.They are not repetitive or mechanical drills, but demand more thinking and creativity from the kids.

The management is so smooth and professional that it is a pleasure to enter the office knowing that they have it under control. I can't think of a better place to send my kids!
