We have had a great experience with the academic coach for our high schooler that we found via Educational Connections. The coach has helped improve study habits and kept our student on track in all classes.

For over 20 years, I've been a huge fan of the work that Ann Dolin and her team have provided to students of all ages. These guys are really dedicated and are not just a tutoring shop. Ann and her team of coaches, educators, tutors, and learning specialists care deeply about their clients and collaborate with parents which, as a psychotherapist, I think is really important. Educational Connections is a great resource for learning about the latest trends in education and services for diverse learners.

Educational Connections has been the perfect tutoring service for me and my siblings. Every tutor I've had from Educational Connections has gone far and beyond to ensure not only my academic success, but also helped me find joy in learning. They've been instrumental in my growth as a student, and I'm very grateful for their services.

We love working with Educational Connections. My daugther has been working with Rachel for her first year in college for executive functioning and study skills. We would highly recommend Educational Connections.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dana, for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that working with your child’s math tutor has made such a meaningful difference. Supporting students as they build confidence, strengthen skills, and feel more capable in school is at the heart of what we do. We truly appreciate your trust and kind words!

Educational Connections not only met my daughter's academic needs but made her feel confident and supported. She looks forward to her sessions because she knows that it is okay to be struggling and that she has an extremely competent and supportive tutor there by her side. Her different tutors have all been very flexible, ready to meet when her schedule sometimes became complicated. We will continue to work with Educational Connections in the future.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Beth, for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad your daughter feels confident, supported, and genuinely comfortable in her sessions. Helping students know that it’s okay to struggle, and that they’re not alone while they learn, is central to our approach. We’re also happy to hear our tutors’ flexibility made it easier to navigate a busy schedule. Thank you for trusting us to support your family, and we look forward to continuing to work together.

Education Connections has been instrumental in providing academic support for my son who struggles with ADHD. Having enrolled my son in various supplemental tutoring services in the past, I enrolled my son with EC as a last resort but at the same time a bit of hope that this might just be the right fit for my kiddo. Little did I know that this was going to be the game changer. My son was struggling and falling behind on his homework and having 1-on-1 support has helped him tremendously in getting caught up with work that he was lagging in but also in improving in his grades - he made tremendous improvements in his grades this semester.
I would recommend Education Connections to any parent. My son's tutor has been patient in tutoring my son and has enabled him regain his confidence especially in course areas that he was previously hesitant to attempt. I'm grateful that my family gave EC a chance; the investment was worthwhile.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Christine, for sharing your family’s journey with us. We’re honored that you gave Educational Connections a chance and grateful to hear how impactful one-on-one support has been for your son. Supporting students with ADHD through patience, structure, and individualized strategies while helping them rebuild confidence is exactly why we do this work. It’s wonderful to hear about his academic progress and the gains he’s made this semester. Thank you for your trust and recommendation. We truly value being part of your son’s growth and success!
