We take score increases seriously and we believe that with our customized sessions and teaching strategies, any student can improve.

"Both of our kids had great success with EC Tutoring in helping prepare for their SAT. Both times, EC did a terrific job of pairing my child with a tutor who matched their style and was able to connect. In each case, the tutor took an interest in their success and the progress was amazing. Highly recommend."
- Gwyn, Parent

"We received weekly updates about the progress in each session and the tailored goals for the next session. In the end, our son’s composite ACT score was 5 points higher than his practice ACT, with increases in the individual sections ranging from 2 to 9 points. We believe the coaching, the practice, and the overall test-taking skills gained from Educational Connections were instrumental to this improvement."

"Very impressed with this 1 on 1 tutoring. My daughter started with a 24 and is now up to a 35 in the ACT. She has yet to take the actual official test but I am confident she will do well. She needed to learn a lot of Math and grammar content/rules and her tutor was able to teach that to her in addition to testing strategies/timing -- filling in the gaps where school classes didn't cover well. Highly recommend."

What our customers are saying...

I am very happy a friend recommended Educational Connections. This was money well spent. In retrospect I think SAT prep we have done with another company was a waste of money. Best to invest into Educational Connections colleges applications counsellor. This will make a bigger difference than SAT score in my mind, especially because most schools don't require it. We worked with Kristin Landis and she is great. My daughter applied to 10 colleges in early October and by mid-October she already was already admitted into one of them. I am sure more to come.
Response from the owner: We're so glad to hear that Kristin and our team at Educational Connections have been a great help! It’s awesome to see your daughter already getting acceptances. We're excited to see where she decides to go! Thanks for taking the time to share about your experience with our college consulting program!
My daughter has a math tutor and executive functions coach. She loves both if these tutors and her grades and outlook on school has greatly improved.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your daughter loves working with her math tutor and EF coach. It’s wonderful to know that our team has made such a positive impact.

Love the personalized care and attention and solid experience.

My son's Executive Function coach is incredible. My son is now working independently, keeping track of due dates, and working ahead. He is more diligent, more conscientious, and more motivated. His grades have improved across the board. No more scrambling and stress at the end of an academic quarter. He requires zero nagging about school work and as a result, our mother/son relationship has improved. It is a transformation and we are SO thankful. Worth every penny!!
Response from the owner: We're overjoyed to hear about the incredible transformation your son has undergone, Colleen! It's truly inspiring to see the positive impact of our coaching. We're so grateful for your kind words and for entrusting us with your son's EF skills development. We look forward to continuing to support him on his academic journey.
My boys have loved working with Educational Connections, especially with Mrs. M for the past year plus. She has really helped my boys focus and learn strategies on how to approach questions. They love sharing their daily activities and progress reports with her.
Response from the owner: Hi Reena,We're so happy to hear that Mrs. M has been a great help to your boys! It’s rewarding to see how much kids can enjoy learning when their tutor is a great match. Thank you for choosing Educational Connections and for taking the time to write this review!
