At Educational Connections, we’re more than just a tutoring company.

We believe that every student, even the most accomplished ones, can use a little help with optimizing their study habits. For that reason, we incorporate skills like staying organized, planning ahead to reduce procrastination, and study techniques into most everything we do. We offer four services: Subject Tutoring, Executive Function Coaching, Test Prep, and College Consulting.

Student studying at home

We meet students where they are. At Educational Connections, we have an outstanding tutoring program proven to fill in your child's learning gaps, keep them on track, improve executive function skills, and make parenthood a lot less stressful.

Our Executive Function Coaching is a unique, research-based program to help your child master the skills they need to succeed in school and life. In this program, your child will learn how to get organized, manage their time well, study effectively, and stay motivated.

Our College Consultants will create a custom roadmap to college for your teen. Your student will learn how to position their unique interests, goals, and accomplishments to stand out in the competitive college admissions process.

What Families Say...

ECI has provided my children with excellent educational staff from tutors, executive function coaches, test prep and college counseling over the last 6 years. I highly recommend them to all.
Our tutors are wonderful, gifted at working with kids and putting them at ease. Virtual has been so convenient, and flexible. When you find a good fit it WORKS!
Great tutors to support our son's test preparation, responsive and flexible to our schedules.
We have been very pleased with the level of support that we have received from Educational Connections Tutoring as our child begins the search for college. We appreciate the knowledge and expertise offered and know that we are in excellent hands as we navigate the application process. Everyone has been incredibly responsible and helpful and we would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a little extra help in preparing for the college search.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Heather, for your kind words! We're happy to hear you've been pleased with the support your family has received. Our mission is to confidently guide families through the college search and application process, and we're delighted to know that you feel in excellent hands. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to support your child on this important journey to college.
From my first inquiry call, I was so impressed at their understanding, thoughtfulness, and seemingly sincere desire to help! We were matched with a wonderful coach who immediately synced with my child and has done an amazing job connecting with him and keeping him engaged. Her tips, tricks, and advice have certainly helped. We've signed up for more sessions!
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your experience, D.P.! We're glad you felt supported from the start, and it's great to hear that your son has connected well with his coach. We're excited to continue working with your child and look forward to seeing his continued progress!
We have been working with Kristin Olsen Landis who is absolutely superb. I am helping someone whose parents are immigrants who know absolutely nothing about american colleges and who gets little if any help at school. Kristin is changing her life: no exaggeration. She is incredibly knowledgeable - both on the schools and everything connected with them and on how to take a student through the process.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Jessica, for sharing your wonderful experience with Kristin! Her dedication and expertise truly shine through in her work, and it is heartwarming to know that she is making such a significant impact in the life of the student you're helping. Your feedback reaffirms our commitment to helping every student achieve their higher education dreams through our college consulting program.
My daughter had a very positive experience doing ACT prep with her tutor from Educational Connections! The prep helped her achieve the improved score she was hoping for! The match with her tutor, Neha, was excellent! My daughter enjoyed working with Neha!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Lauren! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter had a positive experience with her ACT prep and that Neha was a great match for her. Congratulations to your daughter on her achievement, and thank you for choosing Educational Connections!
We are very happy with the tutoring we have received from Educational Connections. Our sons study habits and grades have improved dramatically with the coaching in math and science.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We're delighted to hear that your son's study habits and grades have improved thanks to the impact of his coach. We truly appreciate your trust in our team!
