Hills Learning

The best language school I ever went to. I studied Japanese Korean Mandarin and Cantonese for 1 year and all my teachers were excellent. The ratio price/quality is also very good

Maki, who answered my call, is exceptionally informed about the class options and summer programs. I was able to find the appropriate level class, convenient for my schedule. Classes are transferable for academic credit, if approved by your academic institution. I highly recommend Hills Learning for adults, teens and children.

I absolutely love taking Chinese classes with Jie! I was referred to Hills Learning by a friend and am so grateful. The teachers are enthusiastic and love what they do. I highly recommend taking Beg Chinese with Jie! Even though the courses have been full remote, I have not felt that I am at a disadvantage.

Note: I've recently taken Korean language classes at 3 different institutions: Hills Learning, the Korea Society, and the Korean Culture Center. (I'm writing reviews of all three in case anyone is comparing Korean class options.)

Great language learning school, highly recommended! The teachers are all have a background in education and seem genuinely happy to be teaching. The classes themselves are really fun, and it's a really good/friendly/open learning atmosphere--I feel like the students and teachers tend to joke around a lot and have a good time while they learn.

The classes follow really sound language learning pedagogy, with a really good mix of speaking and coursework, all in Korean. I think most people's language skills definitely improve significantly over the course of a semester. I do think the classes can be a little hit or miss depending on what level the other students are, but that's inevitable anywhere as an adult language learner.

Hills Learning itself sometimes has social events or language practicing events that are a really lovely bonus. In addition to a really sound learning environment, more of a friendly-community vibe than you might expect from a language school.

Hands down the best school for beginners or intermediate Korean learners.

I have had a fantastic experience at Hills taking Korean classes with a private tutor. The program is ambitious and serious but also flexible enough to accommodate a busy professional schedule. I am learning Korean mainly to communicate with my extended family, and even after the first few weeks they were impressed by the progress I had made. I would recommend this program in the most enthusiastic terms for anyone who is looking to learn a difficult language, even/especially if they are also juggling a busy job or personal life.
