Our Foreign Language Coaching Difference
Does your child feel like they just can’t learn a foreign language? Many students struggle in fast-paced language classes that demand heavy memorization but offer little personalized feedback. When frustration builds, they may lose motivation and give up as soon as they can.
At Educational Connections, we change that experience with one-on-one language tutoring tailored to your child’s needs. Our expert tutors provide individualized support to make language learning more manageable—and even enjoyable. With personalized instruction, students build fluency faster, improve their grades, and gain the confidence to succeed in class.
Get Started Today With A Free Consultation
The first step in each of our foreign language tutoring program is to have you speak with one of our Educational Specialists to assess your student’s unique needs around not just particular subject matter, but also any potential executive function skills that would benefit them. This program manager will stay with your family throughout your student’s journey.
Next, your Educational Specialist will hand-select the tutor best suited to your child’s needs and personality.
You'll receive progress reports after each one-on-one virtual session, letting you know what your child has worked on, what's assigned for homework, and how they're progressing.
Our foreign language tutors are proficient or fluent in their designated language and have ample teaching experience. They are invested in not only getting students to learn the target language but also to enjoy the process and build executive function skills necessary for foreign language success. By providing highly customized, dynamic lessons in a one-on-one virtual setting, our tutors will help your child develop the following skills:
Speaking
Working in a one-to-one setting and getting immediate feedback will allow your child to develop fluency, an authentic accent, and confidence to use the language beyond the classroom.
Listening
Through exposure to native-level speaking, your child will acquire vocabulary and learn to hone in on the important details in a conversation.
Reading
Our tutors will use high-interest, authentic materials to teach your child strong reading comprehension skills and develop a robust vocabulary.
Writing
By assigning dynamic writing tasks, our tutors encourage students to use vocabulary, develop fluency, and synthesize old and new concepts.
Grammar
Understanding grammar is central to being able to learn a new language. Rather than explaining rules and drilling students on them, our tutors provide overt instruction to connect grammar topics with larger communication contexts.
Cultural Context
Language is not just about the words it contains. It is affected greatly by the people who use it. Our tutors help language come alive by teaching their students about the cultures that use it.
