Since opening its doors at 581 Henry Street in 2015, Smith Street Workshop has grown dramatically in Carroll Gardens, becoming a comprehensive educational center, which provides the community with academic enrichment for pre-kindergarteners to high school students.
Recently, Smith Street Workshop has expanded into a beautiful second space at 339 Smith Street and is currently putting the finishing touches on a large space at 607 Henry Street for the brand new Smith Street Maternelle, a French immersion pre-school program, which is now accepting  applications for 2018-2019.

The expansion into the new spaces allows Smith Street Workshop to provide additional French language classes for children and adults, as well as immersion music and art classes for pre-schoolers. It also allows the Workshop to support students through individual tutoring across all academic subjects.  In addition, it offers SAT, ACT, Specialized High School and Common Core test prep classes.

Smith Street Workshop's founder and Director, Olivia Ramsey, was one of the founding teachers at Public School 58's French Dual Language Program. For five years, she taught kindergarten and 3rd grade at the school, before starting a small private tutoring practice out of her Smith Street apartment in 2013.  The practice was so successful that Olivia soon had a long waiting list, prompting her to open the space at 581 Henry Street.

Smith Street Workshop is an invaluable resource for students and parents in this neighborhood, so please help spread the word. Learn more about the french classes and tutoring programs at www.smithstreetworkshop.com.

Many students and parents in Carroll Gardens probably already know Olivia Ramsey and her Smith Street Workshop, a new learning center which opened this past February at 581 Henry Street.
Ramsey was one of the founding teachers at Public School 58's French Dual Language Program. For five years, she taught kindergarten and 3rd grade at the school, before starting a small private tutoring practice out of her Smith Street apartment in 2013.
The practice was so successful that Olivia soon had a long waiting list.

She recently was able to expanded into a large space on Henry Street and is now able to offer individual and group tutoring, Common Core and SHSAT test prep for elementary, middle school and high school students. The learning center also offers after school French programs for children in pre-k to 8th grade. All classes are being taught by certified NYC teachers and the french programs are run by bilingual educators.
Currently, registration is open for weekly summer programs and a French Immersion Summer Camp.

Olivia, a Bank Street College Of Education graduate, clearly loves teaching and is passionate about her practice.  Last week, she was kind enough to invite me to visit the new space on Henry Street. It is bright and cheery, and stocked with books, games, toys, and art supplies.
