In a few hours my son’s tutor had him on the right path. He scored a 96% on his test following his first two sessions. I am very happy for my son and impressed by the quality of your teachers at Educational Connections.
We’ve been working with a tutor from Education c Connections for a couple years and we think she’s the best Tutor we’ve ever worked with. Previously, we had a tutor from through the school and from another company , and they were not as experienced, professional, or as patient as out tutor from Education Connection. The Tutor is also very funny and nice!

Our student's work with the Education Connections Tutor has transformed her understanding of chemistry (and her grades) in one month. The tutor is an expert in the subject and a skilled and supportive teacher. Our student enjoys the subject now and is confident of success. We couldn't be happier.

Our first assigned coach, Sarah, has been phenomenal. She’s teaching my son new skills and providing coaching (and sanity) for me as we navigate issues with instruction at our school.Although my son was initially adamant that he was NOT going to work with Miss Sarah, he said to me this week, “I actually like working Miss Sarah. It’s making my studying go faster.”For our family, the support we’re getting as a family has been worth the investment, and we have been very pleased with the coach they assigned to our son. Although we had concerns about the virtual nature of the tutoring, screen sharing has been very effective and Sarah and my son very quickly established rapport.

I had been watching the videos and seminars from Educational Connections for a few years, and decided to ask them for help with my son's college planning. I was having trouble having him focus on the topic and get "serious" about it in his sophomore year. the team at EC and especially Kristen have helped get his attention and have put together a solid plan for him to follow.Ultimately its up to him to execute, but the guidance they've provide up to this point in course selection, college planning, essay writing and even general guidance has been helpful and we feel we are very well positioned for Senior year.I would recommend them many times over.
