School in Edinburgh

“I can't recommend Gillian enough - she has been able to connect me to a part of myself that I didnt know existed. I now feel and believe that I have the mental fortitude to face my issues/phobia head on (if said issues even arise as she seems to have unburdened me from those aswell). If you are considering hynotherapy, don't hesitate with Gillian. It will be the best investment for your mental well being that you can make. Thank you so much Gillian, Rosie”

“We had a fabulous experience at the west Edinburgh shooting school and will definitely be back again! Mark is a super teacher, it wasn't our first time shooting but he's taught us things previous teachers never did , he's really knowledgeable and professional . He helped us make the most of the experience and challenged us with some more difficult shots, it was a fabulous experience despite the dreich Scottish weather!”

“I completed a month of course at Alba and I'm loving it. The environment is super friendly and the teachers are excellent. Laura, from the exchange of emails to my registration, was super attentive. Teachers use didactics according to the student and this helps a lot in learning. During the whole week they provide activities, which helps in the integration of the students. People of different nationalities in pursuit of the same goal, which is to learn a new language.”

“David has been an amazing instructor, from the moment I stepped in the car I felt calm and relaxed. I'm a very practical learner and David got me doing a lot of driving right away which I really enjoyed and felt as though he spent the time to understand how I prefer to learn. I couldn't have had a better experience. Doing the test felt comfortable as a result of my increased confidence given to me by David.”

“I have shot many weddings here and its by far one of my favourite venues! The staff are wonderful, insightful and helpful in both the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. So many fantastic spaces inside and out for different parts of the day from Queens Street Gardens for photos, confetti on the steps outside, Cullen Suite for fizz and canapes and the New Library for the ceremony and wedding breakfast, the venue is simply stunning and I highly recommend it to any couple looking for either a small, romantic and intimate wedding all the way to a full day celebration and I can't wait to return!”

“A wonderful experience! Such a uniquely fun interior- and perfectly accompanying music. The beauticians are lovely with lots of patience and experience and very helpful in giving advice. Overall, I am very happy with my lash lift and would highly recommend x”

“I had an incredible experience in Jake's beginners drama class and Intermediate class! His passion for theater and dedication to his students truly shine through in every lesson. Jake has a unique ability to bring out the best in each participant, whether you're a seasoned actor or just starting out. The class is both challenging and supportive, encouraging creativity and confidence. The atmosphere Jake creates is inclusive and inspiring, making it a joy to be part of. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to explore or deepen their love for acting!”

“It was a very short but also nice experience in Edimburgh! Staff was very kind and helpful and I can speak more fluently, I learned a lot of new words and expressions! Thank you to Kaplan’s school”

“I can’t thank the medical staff and front of house staff enough. My sprocker Meg was admitted as a emergancy in August with a swollen eye with a foreign body in. Long story short it turned out to be something devastatingly worse. At just 8 years old and no prior indications or anything, her wings were ready but we were not. Meg has never been apart from us, I was worried how she would do being admitted, she was there Saturday to Monday, the staff were amazing, she wasn’t worried she wasn’t down, she maybe didn’t understand but the staff made her feel safe and cared for. The staff were so kind and caring front of house and behind the scenes. Sadly we collected Meg on Monday for one last night at home before she donned her wings with her own favourite vet. The staff kept in touch with us the whole time she was admitted, they kept us informed and kept in touch with our vet as well. We all knew what was going on at every stage. Then after they helped sort the insurance claim and kept in touch, we got a lovely card a few weeks later from the staff that cared for Meg which was beautiful. She had lovely consultants, I met Chloe (eye consultant) and Karen (general med consultant) and though I never met the nurses I heard from staff how much they loved Meg and how she greeted them happily with her “sooky” and behaved well curled on her favourite blanket. The staff here are amazing. Though Meg is no longer with us, it helped knowing they made her happy and comfortable when she was in the hospital and went fretting or worrying. The staff also made sure her “sooky” was with her at all times and her blanket stayed with her as well. Not easy in such a busy environment. The hardest place to have to go knowing what could come but the staff do all they can not just for the animals in their care but to help their humans cope and deal with whatever comes and whatever the outcome might be.”

“Great place for young males and females to play/be coached in football. Good floodlighting and artificial surfaces. Only major difficulty is very restricted off road parking. All in all a great amenity for youngsters interested in football.”

“Took a session here as I was passing through. Kind and enthusiastic fellow students, superb instructor with great skill-building exercises. Was sad for it to end, and hope to do another soon.”

“My daughter has been attending ASDS for a year and she absolutely loves it! Having started in the 90 minute Gateway class, she is now in the main school class and has added acro and ballet into the mix there too. The encouragement from all of the teachers is wonderful, and I can't believe how much her confidence has grown. She is so excited to go every week and learn more skills. She has big ambitions to have a stage career when she's older and ASDS is the perfect place for her to learn her craft.”

“I was very lucky to have been given Freddie as my partner and teacher for a Strictly-style charity event, where I had to learn a cha cha that was to be performed in front of 150 people, in a relatively short space of time. Freddie's passion for dance, skill in teaching, confidence in my ability and calm demeanour made the whole experience an amazing one for me. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Freddie and Nuno's dance4passion classes.”

“My daughter has been attending Southside for almost 5 years now. She has gone from strength to strength adding classes as she goes and she’s yet to come across a class that she doesn’t just adore! The teachers are so friendly and the classes are fun and challenging. My daughter has sat many exams too, they’re always optional but it’s lovely to know she has that option to continue on with them if she wants. My son has just started too and loved it as well. He came bouncing out and excitedly spoke about how much fun he had all day. Couldn’t recommend it enough”

“Dance discovery is a welcoming, nurturing and inclusive dance school. My daughter is autistic and dyspraxic and has been included l, encouraged and loved since the moment she joined! The teachers always go above and beyond to help the children grow and develop in to confident dancers. I 100% reccommend anyone to join and become part of the dance family ❤️”

“I first went to Silverhub for night classes about 8 or 9 years ago and loved the whole thing but then life got in the way. I returned earlier this year to get my skills up again. I loved Lisa's teaching so although it's over an hour travel, for me, there was no choice. I started the one year course in October which really takes things to a whole new level. The mentoring Lisa gives makes you believe you can do it and it's a really supportive environment (& you get to make fab things!)”

“My little girl has just started over the last few months. She is the shyest wee girl that doesn’t ever want to leave my side and not being able to talk yet probably makes it a bit harder for her. However after about 4 weeks of her crying every time I left her, she now lets go of my hand with no issues. She comes out showing me what she’s learned each class. She spends time in between ballet and musical theatre doing the things she done there. I’ve already noticed more confidence in her in this short time. Miss Amber and the staff/girls at forefront have been amazing and their patience has put trust in me to leave her with them. I’m excited to see where her forefront journey takes her!”

“My kids started during the pandemic and they really enjoy their lessons and they love their teachers. They are keen to go and have made great progress too. We had tried other big franchise but decided to stay with Evolution even though it’s a bit of drive from where we live, as I feel the teachers are more caring and thorough. Thanks for the great learning experience!”

“I'm not surprised this place has won awards! Everything about the place is amazing!! From the back story to the customer service and the food is out of this world! So fresh and full of flavour! The prices are very reasonable and staff seem to go out their way to offer great value and service! Keep up the great work team can't wait to return for my next meal!”

“I can’t recommend Kip McGrath enough, I have 3 children and have always used Kip McGrath to help them with their English. My oldest child achieved a higher in English after Pip and the team gave him the confidence and tools in order to achieve this. The enthusiasm the staff show when teaching the students makes all the difference.”

“Paintbox School of Art is in the lovely Cockenzie House, with its own beautiful gardens and vegetable gardens, and right across from the house is the sea! The Paintbox courses and workshops are indoors and out, making full use of these lovely surroundings. I’ve been going to Paintbox for 3 years now on various courses, and the tuition from Jemma and the team is top-class. The tutors are so full of inspiration, and I always come away feeling so positive and fulfilled. Jemma and Lynsey have created a wonderful place to be yourself, explore and make art!”

“My 5 year old daughter has been attending Angela Watson’s for two terms and is loving it! She is making friends, learning new skills and is confident and her posture lovely. We enrolled her in the October holiday programme as well which she loved & worked well for us in terms of holiday cover. Highly recommend.”

“The experience is simply amazing! It's super worth it, we made Pad Thai and dumplings and both were so easy to make. Ru explained every step and gave details for each product. The course is super easy to understand, follow, and finally enjoy. I can't believe we made it and how simple it was.”
