Success Story
Candy
Age 10 | British Nord Anglia School, Singapore
“We are so fortunate to have Ms. Cathy at DKL Studio as a mentor to my daughter. Cathy is a “tough teacher”, and yet she exemplifies the kind of passion that DKL Studio advocates for in-depth reading and creative thinking. Because of Ms. Cathy’s review strategy and tight execution, Candy won a high score in TOEFL Junior Test without even a “test prep program”. My daughter scored organically, and now she is admitted to a great middle school in Singapore.”

Jack
Age 12 | Bellevue High School, Washington
“We stayed with DKL for three years because of the strong academic program. We’ve also worked with highly qualified and passionate teachers. Over the years, I have witnessed how my son has built a larger than average vocabulary base. Now he is at a good level in English reading comprehension, Lexile1520. I’m hopeful that he would be admitted to a good school, once we return to California. ”
