Our Approach to Subject Tutoring

Step 1: Personalized Assessment for Targeted Support

During your child’s first session, their tutor will identify their unique challenges and skill gaps. This tailored evaluation allows us to pinpoint specific areas for improvement, ensuring that our tutoring sessions are focused and effective. Whether your child needs help in one subject or a combination of topics, we design a personalized learning plan that meets them where they are and propels them forward.

Step 2: Engaging Support and Reinforcement

Our tutors don’t just help with homework; they actively engage with your child to reinforce classroom concepts and stay on top of assignments. Through interactive practice and constructive feedback, we ensure your child not only understands the material but builds the skills to master it. If necessary, we re-teach challenging concepts innovatively, offering fresh strategies that often resonate better than traditional classroom instruction.

Step 3: Proactive Previewing for Future Success

When time allows, our tutors introduce upcoming concepts, laying a solid foundation for new learning. This proactive process, which we call “previewing,” helps your child build a mental framework that enhances comprehension and retention. Cumulative subjects like math and foreign languages often require revisiting and deepening understanding over time, and our personalized process ensures your child will feel more confident in class and on test day.

What Parents 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!
A can honestly recommend educational connections. They have connected my family with multiple tutors that have been a huge influence on my kids academic success

My son's Executive Function coach/tutor from Educational Connections has been tremendously helpful to my son this year as he begins high school. Dalanda has been very patient, effective and versatile. I would highly recommend Educational Connections.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Charles! We're so glad to hear that Dalanda has been a positive influence on your son's transition to high school. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to support your family.
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!

Both of my sons have had math and science tutors through Educational Connections. Each and every one has been an invaluable resource to them as they navigate their middle school and high school classes. Highly recommend.
