All of the tutors I have met have been so friendly! And I love that their spaces are designed to help children with learning difficulties in mind.

Working with The Community Classroom was incredible to say the least. From the speedy response after I had initially reached out for support to the time we ended, the service was like a breath of fresh air for my family. Our tutor was more than flexible given our situation. From day one of connecting with us she listened to our story and decided she’d like to work with my son. Christina was very personable, patient, and dedicated to helping my son. She helped him gain the confidence he needed to succeed, not to mention how much this uplifted his spirit. I was always kept in the loop with a weekly chart to see exactly what my son had done for the week. This was extremely helpful in seeing the strides my son had made. If ever needed again I’d connect with The Community Classroom without hesitation and would recommend them as well.

I really can't convey enough how extraordinary The Community Classroom is. My daughter attended their Summer Leadership Camp for Girls. I've never seen her respond so positively to any camp or program. It's her favorite of all time. The small group size worked well for her. The counselors and the structure of the program were well thought out, so inclusive and upbeat; and so steeped in joy and support. It's clear the Community Classroom is foremost a labor of love. How fortunate we are to have this gem in our community.

What a terrific experience my daughter, Elle, had tutoring with The Community Classroom! Elle took Spanish III Honors and she needed a tutor to help her. Dr. Allen matched Elle with Juan, an educator from Ecuador. Not only did Elle improve her Spanish fluency, but she was able to attain an A in the class! Working with Dr. Allen and Juan was a blessing! I highly recommend The Community Classroom for your children’s tutoring needs!

The Community Classroom is INCREDIBLE! Our family has felt supported from the moment we reached out. Megan responded swiftly, and gave us so much time and care to help us create a support plan. She found us just the right tutor, with the right availability, who is amazing. I have felt truly taken care of by everyone there. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

The Community Classroom has been nothing but amazing for my son! Megan matched my son up with a tutor that paired perfectly with him. We have only been apart of the Community Classroom for three months now but we are already seeing improvements! It's great to have his tutor work one-on-one to help with the topics he is struggling with in school, the help he can't get in the classroom. I can't say enough about The Community Classroom and would highly recommend it to any parent who is looking to help their child grow academically.

We went on a leprechaun scavenger hunt today! We engineered a contraption out of only 3 materials to hold up a gold coin with no human help, we created a chemical reaction to reveal gold coins, we followed clues to find gold treasure (which ended at a rainbow with Oreos!), and we created leprechaun traps using certain criteria…we were St Paddy’s engineers and problem solvers!
