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 has been absolutely wonderful. Meghan has been so responsive, taking time to find out what each child’s individual needs are and pairing them with a great tutor. I expected that getting my child there each week would be a chore but he has really enjoyed his time there and looks forward to his sessions. Our experience has been positive all around.

signing up with the community classroom was hands down the best decision I have made to help my daughter with her reading and math. My 10 year old absolutely loves her tutor and looks forward to each session. She went from not wanting to read anything to asking for the entire Harry Potter series for Christmas. Just last night she read a book to me which in the past she would have gotten frustrated and given up. I love seeing her improvement. I highly recommend this business to anyone, they work with your schedule and handle you on a case by case basis according to what is best for your needs and your family. They are virtual as well.

The thing that I appreciate most about The Community Classroom is the written feedback outlining the learning objectives as well as notes from the tutors on progress. The tutors that my kids have worked with were professional and engaging (even when my kids were not!). I highly recommend them for one on one learning support.

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.

As the Executive Director of the Downtown Northampton Association (DNA), I have gotten to know Megan and the Community Classroom through a series of partnerships connected with the Resilient Project and the DNA - and each partnership and project has been an absolute delight. Megan is the consummate collaborator, bringing not only years of experience and expertise to the table, but boundless energy, enthusiasm and a genuine, heartfelt love of her community and the projects she chooses to champion. She gives 500% and always shows up as her true self - an entrepreneur, small business owner, educator and mom, in equal parts. Working with Megan is a true joy!

Last spring, after remote learning, my then fifth grader's math confidence was really low and I worried about him going into middle school without the building blocks that he needed to be successful. I contacted The Community Classroom and Megan set him up with an amazing tutor who worked with him in person and over zoom all summer. He was able to start sixth grade feeling so much better about himself and his math skills. He took a break from tutoring in the fall and winter but recently came to me and said that he was struggling again in math and feeling lost. I emailed Megan and she came to the rescue right away - connecting us with a fantastic tutor! We're so grateful to The Community Classroom!

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!!!!!!!

I taught in public schools for a number of years. A year or so ago I took a leap of faith and decided that I needed to take a step back from teaching to see what other opportunities were out there. I’ve been a tutor at The Community Classroom for just over a year. It’s such a positive space to come to and Megan is an amazing boss! She’s very supportive, and not only when it comes to The Community Classroom. Since I began working here, I feel like I’ve had the opportunity to work on a lot of really cool projects and events that engage the community and have helped me to network as well. Most of all, I love being matched with students who I am able to support with engaging lessons that let me flex my creative muscles while meeting their needs. If you love teaching but you’re falling out of love with being a teacher and have doubts (like a number of my former colleagues have expressed) I would highly recommend you check out The Community Classroom for a breath of fresh air! It's not only a great place to learn but it's a great place to work!

Megan and the Community Classroom have come to our rescue multiple times during the pandemic providing excellent teachers and tutors for our 6 year old and her peers. She helped us secure a short term teacher for a summer learning pod, a temporary one-on-one tutor for an extended school closure and more recently helped us secure a fantastic ongoing kindergarten tutor for our daughter, to provide enrichment above and beyond what she is currently getting from school. Every teacher has been an instant fit. Our daughter looks forward to every session. She speaks up, challenges herself and laughs a lot. Throughout, Megan has been behind the scenes coordinating curriculum and logistics. It’s hard to imagine what we would have done without Megan and the Community Classroom during this challenging time! We anticipate working with her for many years to come and would recommend the Community Classroom to all families (and kids!)!

My ninth grader worked with a Biology instructor (Carly) via zoom. Initially I was hoping for “in-person” tutoring and hesitant to agree to online sessions as he definitely had “zoom fatigue”. After learning about my child, the tutor that Megan suggested would be a good match was several states away so if we were to work with her, there was no option besides remote learning. I felt an immediate trust in Megan’s expertise, as she patiently listened to me about my child’s needs and learning style, so we gave it a try. I am so glad we did!My child is not always an enthusiastic learner, but he never complained that it was a tutoring day. He said that the sessions were very helpful in clearing up any confusion or questions he might have as well as helping him to prepare for his end of year standardized test. His tutor, Carly, was engaging, patient and very knowledgeable in her content area. The most exciting change we noticed in our child was the obvious increase in confidence about his Biology class and the subject matter. We cannot put a price tag on that!We are very happy that we discovered the Community Classroom and will most certainly utilize these services again in the future. We cannot recommend them highly enough and think that the entire process well-organized and student-centered.

We sought out SAT tutoring for our high-school junior through The Community Classroom. Megan’s response was positive, timely and successful! Our son reports that his tutor is very helpful and setting him up with SAT skills. He enjoys his time with them and feels he is improving every week. Thank you to Megan and her team for offering this path to success!

The Community Classroom has provided an education lifeline after months of learning at home due to Covid-19 remote school schedules. I wish I'd found Megan's web site sooner! I was impressed by the amount of information on the web site and the level of immediate guidance provided once I completed the online form. Megan met with us to understand my son's needs and offered immediate results finding a tutor for us. We found the perfect match for my son - who now loves writing thanks to Megan and our tutor, Ann. I highly recommend The Community Classroom.
