Language Stars reviews

Collectively we are disappointed that this former employee would falsely represent themselves as one of our current employees when they are not. Our team having met this week (our very talented and dedicated Chicago Director team) there is 100% consensus among each of the Chicago Directors regarding this fact. So in addition to misrepresenting themselves as a member of our team (their current employer would likely wonder why they are interested in representing themselves still as part of our team and not theirs) this individual states several untruths throughout their review. To highlight a few of the untruths: We do indeed have marketing, training, sales, and an HR team. To say otherwise is silly. This individual was not “lied to” during their interview process. We have tremendous opportunities (hence the reason we were interviewing this individual for a position at the time and why we are continuing to look for talented and dedicated People to join our team as we continue to expand). We are a growth-focused organization. Our success as an organization and team is due to our unbelievable Teachers and Directors and a dedicated support staff all working together. As a company we are a relatively small team of 38 people (Directors and Center Support) who work together in support of our amazing Teachers and the thousands of programs we deliver to thousands of Students in each of our Centers and in our partner schools. Where there are real issues we expect each other to communicate and work together to resolve those issues. We know we have several areas we are working towards improving in support of improving Language Stars for both our Customers and team members. We are indeed excited about our future expansion into new markets. We regularly receive inquiries from Customers who want Language Stars in their state. Our ability to bring Language Stars to new markets is 100% a reflection of our amazing team as well as our very loyal Language Stars families. The review also references that our “teachers can’t teach” and that “zero learning” occurs. This is another completely false statement. Consistent with the dishonest nature of the entire review, this individual attempts to discredit our highly effective Teachers who lead our classes based on our industry-leading curriculum. At Language Stars we are known for our quality and for delivering such quality consistently and effectively for over 17 years since the company was first created by our passionate Founder. The education space is a small and closely connected network of passionate people working to make a difference. This former employee has certainly greatly disappointed their former direct colleagues and our Teachers. Given that this person is falsely representing themselves as a current employee, if this review and others by this individual continue to stay posted this month, we will be meeting with their actual employer to discuss the numerous false statements and what their intentions are. We take such false representations of our hard working and amazing Teachers very seriously. Our focus and advice: Be accountable, no excuses, and create your own destiny. As to some honest perspectives on our Teachers and our programs overall, here is a sampling of actual feedback we received directly from our Customers this month! “Great teachers, great manager, high quality education, friendly environment” “Great instructors! Great program. Fabulous staff. Easy to reschedule and fun for the kids!” “My daughter likes her classes and has learned a lot. I actually learned a lot from the parent and tot classes as well. I like how the classes move from one activity to another quickly to keep the kids' attention. All the teachers are nice and helpful and my daughter sings songs and uses words at home all the time on her own, it seems like she is getting a lot out of it.” “We recommend language stars all the time! Great way to get your kids started on a language.” “The staff is amazing, and always very flexible with schedule changes. When class is over my girls are always happy to show me their work. Recently my oldest has begun approaching Spanish speaking people and attempting to engage in a pleasant and meaningful exchange. These moments of interaction are building blocks for compassion on the global scale.” “Our Center treats each student (and parent) as part of their family. We have been extremely pleased with the curriculum and teachers. Top-notch service with an excellent education experience.” “I recommend Language Stars because it's great! What a unique opportunity for children who do not have bilingual friends or family. I love all the culture that my daughter is being exposed to at Language Stars as well. Plus the teachers are absolutely excellent!” We look forward to continuing to delight our Customers, working to improve in all areas further, and growing as a Language Stars Team.
