What Families Say...

We have used EC Tutoring for years and are always impressed with the responsiveness of the team and the top notch experience the tutors have pass along to students. We will definitely recommend them to others and will be back in the future.
Response from the owner: Thanks for sharing your experience, Pam! We are honored to serve your family.
Educational Connections is amazing and changed my son's life. He was diagnosed with dyslexia a week before his junior year of high school. His tutors were amazing and worked with us quickly to help him improve his reading and taught us how to work with dyslexia. The tutors are kind, compassionate and educated. The confidence they instilled in him changed him as a person. We always got progress reports after each tutoring session. My son got into his dream college, and I will forever be grateful to Educational Connections. Amazing organization!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Paige! We’re truly honored to have played a role in your son’s educational journey. Seeing his confidence grow and knowing he reached his dream college means the world to us. We appreciate your kind words about our tutors. They are dedicated to making a real difference, and your feedback affirms that. Wishing your son all the best in this exciting new chapter!
Very pleased with Educational Connections for our ADHD son. It has been a positive experience and his sessions are with staff that have ADHD/ Executive Functioning skill sets which I appreciate. Our son is benefiting from the sessions.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Kathy! We’re so happy to hear that your son is benefiting from his sessions with his coach. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support him and are proud of his progress!

My children, both with ADHD, have benefited from the services of educational connections for the last few years. Class support has ranged from an EF coach, science support and ACT preparation.

Very professional, responsive, flexible, and capable tutoring...excellent service.
Response from the owner: Thanks for your trust in us, Scott! And thanks for taking the time to write a review.
Our experience with Kristin L. from EC was beyond amazing! She made the college essay and application process smooth and enjoyable because we were working with her. She kept our son on task and made time to get to know him (and us) which I feel made a huge difference in his essays. I know who we will be calling when our second kiddo needs guidance - EC & Kristin!!!
Response from the owner: We're absolutely delighted (but not surprised!) to hear that Kristin exceeded your expectations, Leah! We strive to create a supportive and personalized experience for all our students, and it's wonderful to know that we achieved that for your son. We value your feedback and are grateful for your recommendation. We look forward to the opportunity to guide your second child through their college journey as well.
My teens have been enjoying the tutoring sessions a lot. They are happy to get connected, do the work and listen to their tutor suggestions, also putting them in practice.It’s refreshing to have a tutor available, open, and willing to do the work with them. Totally recommended!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your wonderful review, Lisa! It's truly rewarding to hear that our tutors are making a difference in your teens' learning journey. We strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable learning and growing. We appreciate your trust in us and are committed to continuing to provide excellent tutoring services to your family.
