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. I appreciate the flexibility of the team and the expertise of all the educators. I strongly recommend EC connections to support he educational needs of your child.
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!!!

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!
