Berkeley College: Summer Workshop Series

Russell Education provides private, one-on-one and online tutoring to students at schools in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, and the surrounding suburbs. We work with students in grades K-12 (and some beyond) who need assistance in organization and planning, study skills, subject-area tutoring, and standardized test prep. The tutoring staff includes the Director, David Russell, and a current roster of over 40 other tutors. The team can tutor nearly any subject in grades K-12 (and some college level subjects as well). Many of our tutors come by referral from members of the team. All tutors are interviewed and undergo reference checks. During the intake process, we engage clients in a wide-ranging initial conversation and often gather information from teachers, therapists, and other sources, in order to begin with a clear profile of the student. Tutors keep notes on each of their sessions, which are reviewed periodically. David is available for consultation with parents, tutors, and others on an as-needed basis.

For more than 40-years the Roxborough YMCA has been making summer fun and exciting for children in our community. Summer camp activities include field trips, swimming, sports and activities that campers discover the importance of living a life full of fitness and nutrition. Going to a summer camp is not only a memory that your child will cherish forever, but it also has the potential to change their life. As our children today are surrounded by modern technology, spending time in the great outdoors can be an eye-opening and rewarding experience. Summer camp allows your child the opportunity to learn new skills, form wonderful relationships with their peers and learn more about themselves.
