Student Stories
"It is my pleasure to recommend Shine as a trustworthy and highly effective tutoring company.
The tutoring company I trust and recommend for international students is Shine Language School. Seven of our international students have worked with Shine and all of them have had improved grades because of Shine's customized tutoring. Shine helps international students meet U.S. academic standards, navigate American culture, and thrive in an American classroom."
Michelle Ulland
Minnehaha Admissions Director, Minneapolis, Minnesota"I love Shine! It gives my daughter a good chance in developing her English language skills. My daughter and all my family love teacher Karyn! My daughter is very lucky to meet her. She is a wonderful teacher!! Since she taught her, my daughter changed from a little shy girl to an energetic, positive and outgoing one in class. She has great development not only in oral skills, but also in confidence in herself. Thank you to teacher Karyn! You are a wonderful, wonderful teacher. we love you!"

"Shine offers flexible class times that fit around the student’s time table. This is very important for business people. Through Shine I have had great improvement in speaking and overcoming the emotions of shyness and embarrassment. My teacher deeply knows Chinese culture and we have so many topics to discuss together."
Wilson Chen
China Sales Manager, Polygon (Xiamen) Composite Materials Limited"When we have a student who is struggling academically, we always recommend the student begin working with Shine.
When our students began working with Shine, we saw tremendous improvement in the students' academic performance. As a college preparatory high school, we demand excellence from our students and Shine helped them deliver."
Sofia Humphries
Admissions Director, Concordia Academy, St. Paul, Minnesota"I admire the credentials and qualifications of Shine's teachers, who not only deliver the results but also care about the students.
Shine teachers are committed to a stable relationship with their students: the teachers I worked with from 2019 are still the ones I am working with today. Shine teachers' flexibility and sensibility to students’ requirements are cardinal to their services."
