We have had a wonderful experience with Smith Street! My 2nd Grader has been attending a learning pod through the Workshop since the beginning of the school year, and his teacher has done an amazing job at keeping the kids engaged and learning through challenging but fun lessons and activities. It's the highlight of my son's week!

We brought our Son here for preparation for the State High School test. He thoroughly enjoyed the tutoring! Christine did a fabulous job and he feels very confident and prepared for the test! We are so Glad we found them!
Both of my children attend tutoring here and it has been a great experience. The tutors are uniformly wonderful and make learning fun. My kids love the attention they receive in the one-on-one sessions. Smith Street Workshop made the transition to remote learning practically seamless and we are going to continue their tutoring sessions into the summer. You know they must be good because neither kid has complained! Five stars.
We adore Smith Street Workshop's affiliated preschool, Smith Street Maternelle, and have found all of the teachers and administrators to be among the most caring, compassionate, and dedicated educators we've ever encountered. Particularly now, in the face of the pandemic, they have been flexible, compassionate, accessible, and respectful in the way that they communicate with families. The head of school is directly available to any families with questions and concerns, which means a great deal and fosters a true sense of community.
Challenging times usually reveal true character… In early March 2020, I paid Smith Street Workshop my son's 2020/2021 school registration fee of 3,500.00 US dollars. Less than a week later my family and I had to leave the USA due to personal circumstances caused by COVID-19. We permanently left the neighborhood where we were residing and departed to another continent. Roughly one month after making the deposit payment and more than 5 months before the school year started I requested a refund of my son's 2020/2021 school year deposit. After various email exchanges with the school owner, I requested a personal phone call. The call was avoided and the situation was addressed by the school's lawyer. To my surprise, given the global hardship felt by families around the world the school stated that the deposit will not be refunded. In fact, their legal team stated that the only compensation I will receive is the transaction costs charged when they received the deposit payment - how absurd. Like most families, we have a set amount of finances allocated for our son's education per year. Due to this unfortunate loss and lack of sympathy from the school, we will not be able to enroll our child in any school for the 2020/2021 school. I have committed to the full annual payment of our child’s 2019/2020 school fees and understand that the school needs these funds to pay employees and running costs. However, it is incomprehensible that the school is reluctant to refund even a small portion of the deposit paid. This is deeply disappointing and I truly hope our child is the only one who will be affected by the school's actions.
We are so glad to have found Smith Street for both of our daughters (3rd grade and 7th grade). We could not be happier with the support Guillaume, their math tutor, has given them over the past two years. Our older one is now starting SHSAT prep with Smith Street and we highly recommend their group classes as well. Going into it, I was kinda stressed and anxious about the process, but the overall experience with everyone there really set my mind at ease.
We had a great experience at Smith Street Workshop. My son got accepted into Stuyvesant! The people there are super nice and very professional. I highly recommend it!
Smith Street Workshop is wonderfully professional, yet personalized academic support organization. Olivia Ramsey is committed to and personally interested in all of her students' success. She is not only capable of, but excels at supporting students' academic needs. She defines academic needs broadly to include emotional support, a kind and supportive environment, a charming and thoughtfully designed facility, and a highly trained staff. She has established a cooperative and individualized culture for learning that communicates high expectations through a growth model, and celebrates academic achievement. She interacts respectfully and establishes and maintains a calm rapport with both parents and students. I highly recommend her services.
