The team at Educational Connections is fantastic! We used them for both test prep and college selection/application advising. Both services were top notch, exceeded our expectations, and we definitely saw a great return on our investment. The test prep quickly uncovered where the gaps were in my son’s preparation, and focused on those specific areas. The result was 100 point increase in his SAT score. Having already done a lot of work on college selection, our college advisor validated our work, recommended a few additions, and then we spent the majority of the time working on the application, with a heavy focus on the essays. While we’re still waiting on the majority of the decisions, I can say that we were much more confident in his applications when he submitted them than we otherwise would have been without Educational Connection’s services. I highly recommend working with this team.

We started with a smaller package to try it out. My kid has really benefitted from the extra coaching he has received both in a subject he struggled with and with his overall executive functioning skills. He’s acknowledging on his own where he’s been not applying himself and has been more organized and motivated. We added on more sessions to continue his growth. His coach has been great and we are happy we decided to invest in this program.

EF tutoring has been going very well so far. The free webinars have been a great tool for me, too.

Megan is essential to our family! She has taught my son much in terms of executive functioning, and she’s so versatile that she can help him in every subject. She helps keep our son focused and organized which helps his anxiety tremendously. Their billing department has also been great- very helpful. Our son will be working with Megan for the rest of his schooling (college?).

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Phoebe! What a wonderful testament to Megan's impact on your son. We're so glad she's helped him develop skills that extend well into everyday life—when students feel more organized and focused, it truly transforms their confidence and well-being. We love hearing that she's become such a trusted partner for your family, and we're glad our billing team has made things easy too. Here's to many more successful years ahead with Megan by his side!
