Wildewood Education of Norwood

Wildewood Education of Norwood is a tutoring service in Norwood, MA, serving learners of all ages with academic tutoring, test preparation, and enrichment programs. The center supports students preparing for the SAT, ACT, SSAT, and ISEE, and offers college application assistance, including essay writing and interview preparation. Homework help, study skills, time management, and organization are also part of the work they do, alongside homeschool support and birthday parties. The team holds a 5.00 rating based on the reviews from customers who have shared their experience. In addition to academic services, Wildewood offers leadership and professional development for schools, businesses, and organizations through DiSC-certified training, and they provide virtual learning opportunities for students outside the Norwood and Medfield area.

The Norwood location operates from one of two learning centers in Massachusetts, with the other based in Medfield. In January 2025, Wildewood opened The Campus at 68 Vanderbilt Avenue in Norwood, a separate learning space where learners of all ages can come together. The Roots Program focuses on teaching students how to learn and grow as successful learners, while the Bridge Program pairs students with content-specific tutors to overcome academic obstacles. The Gleam Program provides enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom, and the Launch Program supports students preparing for important tests, ambitious professional and personal goals, and interviews.

The Norwood center sits on Vanderbilt Avenue East, about a tenth of a mile from the Boston-Providence Turnpike. The Neponset River runs roughly a third of a mile away, and Charles Elliot Park is within three quarters of a mile of the center.

Founded by Tara Shuman, a certified History and ELA teacher who previously practiced law, Wildewood is led by a team that includes Chief Operating Officer Josh Perrotton, a certified 6th grade English teacher from Canton, MA, as well as math, special projects, and operations staff. The educators bring classroom experience from Canton, Boston, and South Africa, and they support students with a range of academic and personal goals.
