Any low reviews are due to the fact that people don't talk to the teachers. I have been in the FLVS for 5 years. Every teacher I meet knows what they are doing and are willing to help. There are online sessions every week and private tutoring as well. FLVS also teaches a valuable lesson and that is how to teach yourself. The teachers are there and everything but if you don't look and really study the lesson whether in video, live, or written format or you don't put the effort to lean you won't do well. In real life you won't have people "teaching" you.
