Testimonials

"My 15-year-old son attended a creative writing camp based on the UC Berkeley campus last summer. It was a great experience for him, both in terms of developing his skills and interest in writing as well as giving him a taste of college life. Education Unlimited provided a good balance between giving the students a lot of independence while still providing plenty of supervision and support. The teachers were engaged and engaging, and the field trips were all well thought out. Highly recommended!"

"My 11-year-old daughter and my 9-year-old son attended the debate and public speaking classes at UC Berkeley this summer, and they loved it! The Education Unlimited staff were excellent as teachers and organizers. As foreign students, my kids were made to feel at home at all times."

"I have been mentoring a girl from a low-income family since she was in 8th grade. She has a great deal of academic promise, and we have been focusing on college preparedness. The video production workshop she joined at UC Berkeley through Education Unlimited gave her an opportunity to experience what it will be like to live in a dorm and attend challenging classes. She benefited greatly from the caring staff and the opportunity to work with a diverse group of fellow students."
