”At Kaplan, the teachers are very enthusiastic, kind and friendly. They never laugh at you when you make mistakes or do something wrong. During my time at Kaplan I have become more talkative. I speak with people from all around the world in English, and it turns out it’s not as difficult as I thought on my first day!”
Elena Bykova, studied at Kaplan Los Angeles Whittier summer camp
