Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp Partners With Braintrust Tutors For First-Of-Its-Kind, On-Campus Virtual Tutor Program

NEW YORK, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Braintrust Tutors, a NYC-based educational platform that matches students with certified, vetted teachers for private tutoring is partnering with Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp to offer parents and children first-ever learning opportunities.  A first for the camp, the partnership will merge the outstanding active programming that Asphalt Green is known to provide with on-campus access to specialized tutoring within camp hours.  Campers who opt into the program will be matched with a virtual tutor based on their learning profile and needs, and lessons will be overseen by an on-site proctor.  The goal of the organizations is to offer parents and campers who attend the camp a seamless and perfect balance of fun and focus. 

Studies continue to show that New York school closures and remote academics have had a negative impact on learning and development for kids of all ages. And with summer break quickly approaching, parents are looking for opportunities to ready their children for the upcoming school year. 

"Braintrust is thrilled to collaborate with Asphalt Green this summer to provide their campers access to meaningful academic support with our qualified educators and unique reporting technology," said Jen Mendelsohn, co-founder of Braintrust Tutors, said "As a NYC parent who has a child diagnosed with dyslexia, I understand how parents are scrambling more than ever to ensure their children's academic success. Our goal in partnering with Asphalt Green is to simplify the process." 

"We are excited to collaborate with Braintrust to offer our campers this much-needed resource this summer. While parents understand the vital need for social interaction and fun that Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp provides, they're also concerned about their kids being ready for the fall, and we see this partnership as the perfect balance," said Katie Duffy, Asphalt Green's Director of Camps.
