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...

My children, both with ADHD, have benefited from the services of educational connections for the last few years. Class support has ranged from an EF coach, science support and ACT preparation. I appreciate the flexibility of the team and the expertise of all the educators. I strongly recommend EC connections to support he educational needs of your child.
Very professional, responsive, flexible, and capable tutoring...excellent service.
Response from the owner: Thanks for your trust in us, Scott! And thanks for taking the time to write a review.
Our experience with Kristin L. from EC was beyond amazing! She made the college essay and application process smooth and enjoyable because we were working with her. She kept our son on task and made time to get to know him (and us) which I feel made a huge difference in his essays. I know who we will be calling when our second kiddo needs guidance - EC & Kristin!!!
Response from the owner: We're absolutely delighted (but not surprised!) to hear that Kristin exceeded your expectations, Leah! We strive to create a supportive and personalized experience for all our students, and it's wonderful to know that we achieved that for your son. We value your feedback and are grateful for your recommendation. We look forward to the opportunity to guide your second child through their college journey as well.
