Language Stars

Excellent program, teachers and methodology. They are patient and engaging. Our 4yo has been enrolled for about 9 months now with French and Spanish and he is doing quite well with comprehension and coming along with speaking. Highly recommend this organization!

We had a very successful first interaction with Language Stars for my 3 year old and 1.5 year old. The Alexandria center management was very informative and pleasant to work with. The teachers of my children’s classrooms were engaging and fluent speakers. They even gave a few side tips to us as parents to help support increased language learning at home. Ms. Doreen is an amazingly patient and great teacher. We would recommend Language Stars in Alexandria to anyone.

We have been using Language Stars in Alexandria for four years now. Both of my daughters are in a Spanish Immersion school and we have friends that live in Spain. Therefore, learning Spanish was simply a necessity. The classes at LS coupled with their classes at school have literally taken them to the next level. The foundation was set by LS before they enrolled in school and now that we are entering 1^st and 2^nd grade this year, my girls have far surpassed my Spanish speaking abilities. They have begun to focus on writing in Spanish as well in class, at my request. The teachers and staff are exceptional. You get immediate feedback after each class and as I mentioned before, they will work on any area in class that you suggest as a need to focus. We have been very happy with LS. It is certainly an investment, but with some of the new deals they have when you enroll early, the savings can really add up.
I highly recommend this form of language learning and the staff are top notch!

I cannot say enough about Language Stars! My son and I started in the fall 2013 in the Parent Tot program for French. It was awesome because I was able to learn with him. He struggled with behavior and participation for a few months and they were completely understanding. In December we decided to transition him to the Kids Only class. Once again, he had a hard time, but they were extremely patient and after a class or two he was excited to go. Last week he went to Angry Birds Camp. The first drop off was tough, but after a few minutes he was fine. He woke me up every morning telling me it was time for school. He absolutely LOVED it! He has not stopped talking about it since. He was begging to go to school this morning!
As far as his learning, he’s by no means fluent, but recently when our friends were Skyping with their mom in France, he was able to join in the conversation. Their mom said he spoke better French that her (American born) granddaughter. Needless to say, my husband and I were ecstatic! I highly recommend Language Stars!

I left a much more detailed review for the McLean branch, check that out.
I went there because it was closer. The teachers tend to go from location to location.
