City Speakeasy

I had a wonderful experience with City Speakeasy. Sheri was extremely helpful in finding the best Spanish teacher for me. I ended up meeting with Joseph B, who was extremely kind and did a wonderful job speaking with me in Spanish. The organization is extremely efficient, well-run, and organized. I would highly recommend.

Beginner Spanish with Andy has opened up many new doors in my high school biology classroom! As a teacher in Brooklyn, I have many new English Language Learners in my classes. I've learned basic grammar and have lots of tools for building my vocabulary and translating materials. As a teacher, I appreciated Andy's ability to build a classroom culture that was comfortable taking risks and getting folks to open up. This was a great experience!

I just finished Level 2 Italian with Maria and enjoyed the out of class events that were included in the curriculum. In the 2nd week we had a class happy hour after class where one drink was already paid for and we ordered in Italian. The 7th week we went to a wine store and learned about the various wine regions alongside tasting/describing each wine. My Fiance and I are going to Italy on our honeymoon in May and I am already signed up for level 3 to continue learning about the culture. Maria is a great teacher and I made sure she is teaching the upcoming level 3!

I signed up for Italian 1 and was disappointed by the entire experience. The space is run down, extremely small, cramped, and has old whiteboards and outdated technology. I was in a small room with tons of people sitting with my back against another student on a side counter because the table was full. I was further disappointed with the instructor, who was lovely as a person, but after two sessions I learned the alphabet and more about her personal interest in hip hop than anything I paid to study. What's worse is that I escalated to the management team and was offered only classes that don't fit with my schedule, no refund, and no solution for a credit or consolation. These five star reviews are in direct conflict with my actual experience and I question their legitimacy. I learned more in the first 30 minutes at fluent city than the 4 hours I spent in class at speak easy.
