Our son worked with Educational Connections for both college counseling and SAT prep. Our college counselor, Lisa, was phenomenal to work with throughout the process from the initial college list, to essay writing and supplementals to the actual application submission. Lisa was knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, efficient, professional, dependable and did everything with a positive attitude and a smile. She helped our son identify his strengths and how to showcase those to colleges. She truly brought the best out of our son and made a grueling process so much easier for all of us!Our son also did SAT prep with Pete and he was very helpful in identifying areas for improvement and worked on those areas consistently over 12 weeks. Pete was easy to work with, great with answering questions and knew all the best test taking techniques. Our son improved his score by 100 points and couldn't be happier!Both Lisa and Pete were an integral part of our college process and we are so happy we decided to work with Educational Connections. We're happy to report that our son got into his dream school and is so excited for next Fall!

We have used Education Connections for math tutoring for my son. The tutor has been such a help! In addition, we are using them for one-on-one SAT tutoring and that is going really well. Educational Connections is easy to work with and they have quality instructors!

We've worked with Educational Connections for years and really can't thank them enough for their support for various subjects, executive skill development support, college coaching, and seminars for parents too. Calling them was one of the best decisions I've made as a parent.

My son's progress with Educational Connections has changed the trajectory of his life for the better! His tutor Jan has patiently found ways to teach him effectively and support his unique learning needs. My child went from being multiple grade levels behind to being on grade level in math. He is now above grade level in reading comprehension, and I marvel at how he can communicate thoughtful ideas using his writing strategies. The executive functioning instruction and support from Educational Connections allow my son to stay organized, initiate tasks, problem-solve and persevere.Words cannot express my gratitude for my child's growth with Educational Connections!

Everyone at EC has shown great care and competence in helping us get support for our son. We are using a skills support tutor, Emma, who is amazing and has changed the stress levels in our house tremendously as she teaches our son how to get organized, think ahead, and use tools to keep all his commitments in one place. We no longer have to spend the little bit of time we see our teenager talking about the tasks that he has or has not done! We liked them so much we decided to get their help for SAT prep as well and our tutor is highly skilled at the content that needs to be taught as well as the strategies that will help for this particular test. He has a calm approach and explains concepts in easily understood terms. Our son has already seen a big improvement with just a few weeks of working with John.

This organization is very professional, very quick to respond, and very helpful. I wish I found them at the beginning of my son's high school years, but they are helping us get through the end and probably into his college years.
