I bought a Groupon for my family to enjoy some studio time together. I called this business for 2…read moredays, left messages and even sent a Facebook message. They never got back to me. I called one last time and she answered the phone very unprofessionally. She didnt say the name of her company, just hello. How am I supposed to know if this is a business or I have the wrong number? So I ask about how to register for the class that I bought a Groupon for, she proceeds to tell me that the class doesn't exist until October. Meanwhile my Groupon expires November 7th. She tells me she is the owner of the business and just let her know and the expired Groupon will be honored. I'm sorry, but you have proven to not be reliable, professional or to have common courtesy. Why on earth would someone sale something that doesnt even exist?

I recently completed the intensive 7-day real estate course, and it was an outstanding experience…read more My instructor, Lakendra, was exceptional--knowledgeable, thorough, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire course. She was always available to answer questions and genuinely invested in helping every student succeed, not only on the course test but also on the Florida State licensing exam. I would also like to recognize the wonderful staff at the front desk. Sandy, who handled my fingerprinting, and Tricia were both friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. Their positive attitude made the entire experience even better. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to become a Realtor. The quality of instruction, the supportive staff, and the overall learning environment exceeded my expectations.

She really knows how to teach, and she genuinely cares about her students. She has a gift for making difficult concepts easy to understand, and she is always there to help. It's not easy to find a teacher like this nowadays. English is my second language and I have been out of school for over 20 years, but she explained everything so well that I understood all of the concepts. I enjoyed every minute of the 63 hours, and I wish I could sit in one of her classes again. Thank you, Ms. Emiliani!

Her intuitive painting classes allow a student to literally learn about themselves in new ways, to think out of their comfort zone and broaden their minds.

She leads a wonderfully warm and empowering private session. Time in her studio, painting with Jacki, warms the soul.

LeVar Burton would be so proud of me...using my reading skillzz to give back to the community and…read morewhatnot. I went to RFB&D last night pretty exhausted from work (and Yelping.. let's not lie to ourselves). I was pretty dang scared about hopping into a booth and lending my voice to some books...but the staff was incredibly nice and joked around with me to make me feel more comfortable. When you get there, you can go into a couple booths to see what book you want to read from. They do a lot of K-12 textbooks, but there are also fiction, non-fiction, and special interest books as well. For the most part, you won't be the only voice on an entire book.. so a lot of the time, you're just picking up where someone else left off. I picked Social Psychology with all it's crazy and rather interesting viewpoints. I imagine there might be a time where you won't like any of the books in the booths.. but you've got to remember this is volunteer work. And who knows, you might get into something you never thought you'd like! The guy monitored me for the beginning but then left me alone for most of the recording, checking back when I needed help. You're pretty much master of the recording, so if you mess up a word (holy Moses.. Social Psych books should NOT be read aloud) you can go back and fix it. And there are always staff around in case you have any questions in the middle of recording. Sessions can run anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours. I got pretty engrossed in the material I was reading, so I was there for about 3 hours. They have sessions all day (9- 8:30pm) which I find convenient. You just have to call ahead and make an appointment so that they can accommodate you. The location is also very accessible. Very close to the Lechmere stop and less than 10 minutes from the Kendall stop. It's quite close to Cambridgeside Galleria as well. I will most definitely be back to volunteer! I signed up through Boston Cares, but you can also just call RFB&D straight out. OH! AND there is a section of books that you can take when you leave because they're all through with recording them. They even have business cards for volunteers so that you can recruit more people. Want mine? ;)

I started volunteering here a few months ago, and it has been one of the most fun and rewarding…read moreexperiences of my life! Volunteering is very flexible... basically you go in whenever you can. You get to read books that you wouldn't normally read and you're helping people! All of the people that work here are very sweet and are overjoyed when new people want to join. The studio is very close to the Porter Square t stop and it's a really nice space. I highly recommend this experience to everyone! At least go in for an orientation and check it out especially if you've ever enjoyed hearing yourself talk or enjoy reading.
