"We have been with DKL Studio since my son was in grade. We love DKL because of their curriculum. It offers a clear and rational teaching structure, and an emphasis on foundational skills such as deep research. We also love DKL teachers: they are fantastic people, and their work ethic is amazing. Teacher Arianne is a good teacher. She gives my son a variety of English learning techniques from vocab building to public speech. In future, we hope that DKL will keep this unique style, and keep the focus on superb teaching quality."

The academic program is rather tough; but it is delivered with a lot of flexibility and love, and the results are usually good.

STAR test score at 97% age percentile, among North America sample.
"DKL does not only teach English as a technique, which is limited to grammar drilling, vocab building or oral speaking. DKL teaches English as a native language to support a child’s academic development, which focuses on reading comprehension and writing. Being with DKL, my daughter has shown so much interest in English. Her level of English reading and writing is above her peer students in school. At 10 years old, according to assessment, her reading comprehension is at the level of 16.5-year-old native English speaker."
