Personal Tutors
Why Choose Us?
Educational Connections has helped thousands of students in Northern Virginia, Montgomery County, MD, and Washington, DC build the foundation for life-long learning success through personal tutoring. Our qualified, caring, and experienced tutors provide in-home, one-on-one support to students of all ages and abilities. We strive to inspire learners to more productive lives while decreasing family stress around academics.
How We're Different
- Unmatched Tutor Quality
- Unlike many tutoring services, Educational Connections employs only the most qualified instructors.
- Each personal tutor has a minimum of a Bachelor's degree; however 75% of tutors also have Master's degrees. Approximately 85% are also current or former teachers.
- As testament to the rigorous standards Educational Connections maintains, just 5% of applicants are hired to join our tutoring core.
- We Find Your Child an Ideal Match
- One of our Assistant Directors will serve as your program manager and carefully match your child with one of our 200 personal tutors based on:
- Personality
- Subject Needs
- Special Needs
- Gender
- Previous Experience
- Your manager is with you every step of the way and reviews your tutor's session notes after each visit using our revolutionary EC Link program, ensuring instructional quality every step of the way.
- All of this contributes to our striking average client satisfaction rating of 9.5/10.
- One of our Assistant Directors will serve as your program manager and carefully match your child with one of our 200 personal tutors based on:
- EC Link Provides Continuous Feedback on Progress
- EC Link is the communication efficiency system used by Educational Connections. This web-based software keeps tutors, parents, and staff in touch regarding student progress, areas for improvement, and general tutoring activities.
- As a parent you can log in at any time to review your child's session notes that are entered after each meeting. These notes are also emailed to you so that you can comment and be a part of your child's progress. This is so important because too often parents are kept aloof of their child's development!

Assessments
Students often benefit from a reading and writing assessment to determine their strengths, weaknesses, and grade level performance. This testing can also reveal some of the underlying causes of reading difficulties. Learn more about the assessments our President, Ann Dolin, provides.
Educational Coaching Process™
Our Founder and President trademarked the Educational Coaching Process™ to support students who struggle with organization, planning, and study habits. Our trained instructors provide direct instruction in the three essential areas needed for school success: organization, time management, and study skills.
