Educational Connections
Educational Connections helps students build the foundation for life-long learning success through one-to-one academic attention. Our qualified, caring, and experienced subject tutors, test prep tutors, and executive function coaches support students of all ages and abilities. We strive to inspire learners to lead more productive lives while decreasing family stress surrounding academics. Unlike many tutoring services, Educational Connections employs only the most qualified instructors. Each tutor has a minimum of a Bachelor's degree; however 85% of our tutors also hold Master's degrees and most are current or former teachers. Our program managers carefully match each child with one of our 125 virtual tutors based on: personality, subject needs, special needs, and previous experience. A program manager is with the family every step of the way to ensure quality instruction, timely feedback after each session, and customer satisfaction. All of this contributes to our striking 9.5/10 average client rating.
