“My son receives therapy from Mrs. Julie, who is bilingual in English and Korean, and she consistently provides detailed feedback. We live in a multicultural area, and I want him to be fluent in multiple languages, particularly Korean, given his heritage. Mrs. Julie supports this by helping him practice his Korean in addition to English. Furthermore, she ensures to provide comprehensive feedback after every session.
Without her insights, I would be unsure of my son's progress, so I am immensely thankful for her detailed comments on his development. Mrs. Julie also incorporates play-based therapy, which is ideal for my three-year-old son. He wouldn't be able to sit through a conventional 50-minute session, so Mrs. Julie wisely includes time in the gym area. This approach helps him enjoy and look forward to the rest of the session.
Based on my positive experience, I highly recommend Mrs. Julie to any mother looking to enhance their child's language skills.”

“Julie's bilingual abilities have been incredibly beneficial. They are able to switch between Korean and English effortlessly, ensuring that all communication is clear and effective. This skill is particularly comforting to my children, allowing them to express themselves more freely and naturally in their first language while improving their proficiency in English. Their sessions are well-structured and tailored to each child's needs, focusing not only on language skills but also on building confidence and social skills. Julie's maintains excellent communication with us as parents too, providing updates after each session and offering valuable advice on supporting our children's development at home.”
