What Families Say...

We have utilized this service for our son. Through Educational Connections, our son has been able to better organize his train of thought towards his school work, and, specifically, map out an approach to completing all aspects of the college application process. Maria has both provided a foundation for him heading to college, but created the courage that his professional goal is attainable through organization.
Zooming with her Educational Connections tutor has allowed my daughter to take the time to understand the work and get caught up. I love that they send session notes after each session.
Response from the owner: How wonderful to hear, Beth! We're so happy to read about your daughter's progress with Algebra.
Absolutely awesome tutors. I have used them for reading and executive functioning and the quality of instruction is excellent. Very professional and organized as well.
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.
