We are excited to showcase Alexandra Berube's fantastic tutoring company that services students all over Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.  Alexandra Berube started Boston Tutoring Services, LLC., in January, 2010, while teaching her second year of Kindergarten in a small, inclusive classroom. Her background experience in test preparation, including ISEE/SSAT/ACT/SAT, led her to focus on these services in addition to academic subject tutoring. Personal attention and individualized instruction are the cornerstone of Boston Tutoring Services, and she seeks to guide and fully support every family through the process of working with her tutors. She only hires the highest quality tutors with educational degrees, teacher certification, and a superior level of expertise in test preparation. As a former teacher herself, with an M.Ed. from Lesley University, she believes that having a personal connection with parents is crucial to a child's success, and understanding the value of an individualized approach makes all the difference.

Summer is approaching, and if your child is not intellectually engaged during out-of-school time, their performance in school will suffer when they return in the fall. Over summer vacation, students on average lose approximately two months of grade level equivalency. For example, imagine your child completely losing the skill of long division and having to relearn it, potentially falling behind all of their peers. This is known as the “Summer Slide.”

Boston Tutoring Services offers tutoring for the ISEE and SSAT, as well as the ACT and SATBoston Latin Exam, and High School Placement Test. Boston Tutoring Services also offers Academic Tutoring and MCAS Preparation in many subjects, including English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Foreign Languages.
