Best English Language School Lansing Near Me

Jamil Marques: This place is full of good people. I have no words to thank them for their kindness and the opportunities to learn and interact. What a fantastic service in favor of the common good!

sandra jimenez: If you want to practice your English or you need help with your English this is the place!

L G: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityGaelle is terrific. She is enthusiastic, supportive, and professional. As an adult learner, I was nervous to attempt to speak French (and over Zoom, to boot)! Gaelle has made it a very positive experience, and I have seen my knowledge grow over a few short months. I highly recommend Aux Petites Soins!

Mary Bolt: I have been a student of APS for over 2 years. I am now an intermediate student. I love that this is a full immersion program. I have learned so much about the culture as well as the language!

Sarynna Lopez Meza: After starting French lessons at MSU's CELTA school (which was great for introducing a basic level of languages) when our son was little, I first heard about Aux Petits Soins from a couple of French-speaking friends whose kids were going there; learning that Gaëlle Cassin-Ross was the mastermind behind it, was all it took to switch our son to her school 2 years ago. He's been doing the World Citizen programs and it has been fantastic to see the change! I love how Gaëlle interacts with the kids, doing fun things (playing games is my favorite one!) as they speak French. She keeps a small number of students in class which means they all get to devote more time to actually practicing French. We have seen a big change in his abilities to speak French, especially in his pronunciation! We've been even more impressed at the level of engagement he has since the pandemic started! Keeping kids engaged in zoom is difficult, and Gaëlle does an amazing job!

heidi frei: My family has been studying French at Aux Petits Soins since my oldest started about four years ago. She has worked through the Explorers, Travel Bugs and World Citizens programs and absolutely loves it! She looks forward to her lesson each week, especially the games and interaction with her classmates. She is now also learning Spanish and I know that her exposure to French early on has helped her excel. Our toddler is now also enrolled in Explorers and she has so much fun in class. She is now including French numbers, animals, colors and other vocabulary in with her English on a daily basis. Gaelle is absolutely wonderful with children and has a talent for engaging and encouraging them. Inspired by the fun and progress I've seen with my children, I have also studied at APS for almost two years. I love learning French and gaining insight into French culture. I'm happy with my progress and look forward to traveling to France in the future. Immersion works for me and my children and I would encourage anyone to give it a try!

Amy Carnahan: Our kids have been wanting to learn French for over a year. We wanted a place that would give them a base of the language, while being warm and inviting, especially since we were to start online during Covid. We looked into many online versions, even bought Muzzy, and realized that we needed something concrete as we are beginners. We found Gaelle and Aux Petits Soins and the kids LOVE their weekly french class. With the programs currently being online, Gaelle keeps the classes small and very interactive. The kids enjoy their weekly hour French session and look forward to doing their 5 minute "homework" daily for Travel Bugs II. It is everything I could have wanted in a program and teacher. A wonderful investment!

Svitlana M: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThis is the only in-person (now online meetings) place to learn French area. Groups are based on levels of knowledge. Little kids have their own groups of different ages. Gaelle is a French native and developed the program herself. She is an amazing and kind teacher.

Leacafe: Si je n'ai pas eu la chance de rencontrer la gérante en personne, l'un de mes étudiant fréquent "Aux Petits Soins" et en est absolument enchanté. Vive le français !

G D: If you are looking for a place to learn French in Lansing/Okemos, this is the best place. I'm a Ph.D. student at MSU and I started to take French due to working in tandem with labs in France. I wanted a place to supplement my French learning and this place fit perfectly.The class sizes are small, no more than 4 people, and even when you first start you will be taught 99% of the time in French. This was hard at first. You will feel confused and self conscious about not knowing the right thing to say or not understanding what is going on. But trust me, stick with it. You will start to pick up small words and phrases and before you know it you'll be understanding a lot of what is said.This has put me leaps and bounds above the others in my French class at MSU in terms of pronunciation and learning all those tricky rules in French. There are also a lot of extras that come with the school. Such as French game night on Friday, which is super fun, and other opportunities to connect with other people who love French.Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

Faith Steller: Amazing teacher and prefect class sizes. It's always a blast withGaëlle chancing the classroom pre season and all the actives during each class.

Devan Workman: Refusing to sign a waiver so my cousin can get his GED even though he took all the necessary steps. Nice job being completely useless 👎

Lindsay: Would give zero stars if possible. This school refuses to sign a waiver to allow a 17 year old to take the GED. They stated in an email "our administrators do not sign the waivers for GEDs", despite that they preach about the care they have for success of the students and their academic and emotional well-being. They are setting a student up for failure, as they know he is behind and struggling with their curriculum and will not graduate. If a student is not going to graduate, why not give the student a chance of receiving a GED so that they can move forward? They are single-handedly deciding to take away opportunities for his future and it's so disgusting. It is clear that their focus is on funding and keeping high percentages of "success" to advertise on their website rather than the true well being of the students and their futures.

Free Munny: Ferpa, mailbox tampering.. lead to identity theft… done.

Tyrone Allen: Don't fall for this scam. The curriculum is inadequate and the staff is nonattentive. GLLA will not hesitate to file false charges of truancy on children in court.

Dalia Alkoorwi: im a student there and honestly they offer a lot of programs and the teachers are really caring and wont let you fall behind

Heather Proctor: This was our first year transitioning our 14yr old with autism to homeschooling in an online environment. GLCA has been an amazing resource for our family. The special needs teachers are so caring and flexible. We couldn't have asked for more. Our son was really suffering in a conventional system and is now thriving. Thank you GLCA & Staff for all that you do, you are appreciated!

Carrie Lynn: Not professional.

Leigha F: Specialized public education; dedicated teachers; AMAZING students!

Tatum Criner: We have put our 2 oldest in this school and have been very happy with the outcome. Our oldest graduated at 16 and our 2nd is on the same course utilizing the accelerated pace with GLCA.Our first semester was a little rocky trying to figure everything out and communication with the school was a little rough because they had so many new students come on that they were having issues with keeping up. Everything smoothed out over our next semester and we have been very happy with the experience.My daughter who is currently enrolled loves the schedule flexibility. She loves being able to work ahead when she finds a class easy and takes that time to work on classes she finds more difficult. I love that she can get one on one attention with her teachers and that she has some really awesome and attentive teachers that know when she needs the extra help.This school isn't "for bad kids". It's an awesome alternative to traditional public education! It's the feel of homeschooling with the perks of a real teaching staff to back you and your child. I love the early graduation and I highly recommend this school to anyone who has a child begging to do school at home.

Kristen Milling: The best school I have ever worked at. The teachers are extremely caring and offer multiple opportunities for success. Students do need to meet them half-way of course. The curriculum is rigorous as well as flexible pacing-wise. I have heard so many good stories from students who find this a perfect fit for them!

Ken Deng: This school is the best thing happen to my daughter. I think it actually save her life. Due to the teenager hormone imbalance and the school early schedule, she lost interest in life and school. Great lake cyber academy (GLCA) flexible schedule allow her learn when and where she is ready to learn. The teacher is quick to respond to her questions and help her understand the material almost anytime of the day. In the past year she has learn and retain more knowledge than anytime that she has been in a regular school. Her mental state has fully recovered. and has a positive attitude to life and school. With the learning skills she developed during the past year attending GLCA, she can learn much faster than her fellow student in regular school. I would recommend to parent to let their kids to do at least one year of GLCA. It prepare them to be a self learner.

Lo Erickson-Houseman: I love this online school. My son graduated last year from here and my daughter will be graduating early this year. Perfect for the child who isn't in the "public school learning box". Teacher communication is wonderful. Phone calls, Live lessons. I highly suggest this arena of learning for any child that is struggling in the typical public school.Extremely satisfied parent.Lo Houseman.

That one cat: Friendly school Wouldn't think it is bad in anyway it is for top students who know things and can learn at a rapid speed if you fail to learn quick don't join or enroll and make them look bad

Alyssa Andrews: Your School is horrible. so unfriendly and horrible lack of communication. It took me a month to get a call back from a staff member. Was not able to help me graduate on time. Not friendly about getting help to graduate on time. doesnt allow you to to extra to graduate on time. i would never recomend this school to anyone.
