Educational Connections

We're very pleased with Educational Connections. Working with his tutor, my son has gone from nearly failing Algebra to getting As. So glad we made the switch! Highly recommend.

Great Tutors, Great Staff

I have used this company several times to get tutors for my kids and overall have been very happy. We've had three tutors through them for different subject needs/kids as well as test prep. Each tutor has been knowledgeable and highly professional. I've also been impressed by how helpful and prompt the office staff is in responding to our needs.

Several years ago before my oldest went to college, she worked with a tutor who I believe was named Pam - a really smart lady who helped her bring her math and chemistry grades up from Cs and Bs to mostly straight As. Not only was that great for college apps, but her confidence went through the roof.

They are more expensive than a tutor you may hire on your own, but I've found the investment to be well worth it.

We've had great success with EC! We used their services for 2 of my nephews and I couldn't recommend them enough! The staff is very professional and works quickly to find a great match. As with most things, you get what you pay for; They are worth every penny! Highly recommend!

Ann Dolin and Educational Connections is your Go-To place for educational services. Ann, the owner and founder, cares deeply about what she does. Her goal is to help your child succeed in school. Her tutors and staff are carefully vetted to ensure your child receives the best instruction and help them be successful! What more could you want for your child?

Ann worked with both of my boys. Her company is top notch and I recommend her to any student of any age who needs extra help.

In Fall of 2010 we were really worried about our daughter's phonological processing. Via a recommendation we found EC and eventually were matched with our tutor, Mary. Our daughter is now in 1st grade and is doing wonderfully. We couldn't have done it without Mary's help and can attest that from what our family has experienced and we've heard from others, EC has top-notch and wonderfully caring tutors.

Ann and her team are terrific. I know Ann personally, and her care for students and families is truly wonderful. I definitely would recommend Educational Connections to any of my family or friends!

We used Educational Connections to prepare my son for the SSAT exam. They were easy to communicate with, the payments were reasonable, and the tutor was exceptionable. His pre-test to test score went up significantly and we got into the school of his choice! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a tutor. The bonus is that they come to your home, which was super convenient.

I was happy to find a reputable company to tutor my son and enhance his organizational skills. My son was placed with his tutor and after meeting 5 times, the tutor quit and I was provided with no notice or reason from either the tutor or the company. I spoke to the company to try to remedy the situation and they were unable to provide me with any explanation as to why this happened. All the company did was apologize.An apology is nice, but will not help my son learn new skills to improve his academics. I would not expect this from a company of their caliber. I am very disappointed that we were not placed with an exceptional tutor from the start and we were forced to pay for 4 sessions initially with a tutor whom we were unable to meet with first. Perhaps this would have been avoided if we were able to do so from the outset. At these prices ($80/hour!), I feel that more attention should be paid to their clients in ensuring the best possible match and exceptional customer service if something goes awry. I paid $50 outside of the hourly tutoring rate to have them to place my son with this tutor, but feel that he was not placed with the correct match. It seemed more like he was matched as soon as possible without much thought as to his needs. It is possible to get lackluster customer service and an underwhelming tutor for a lot less money. I would not recommend their services nor would I use them in the future.

My daughter has struggled with organization and turning in her work on time for years. For the most part, she has continued to do well but this year she has started to struggle a bit academically. After her science teacher called to tell me she failed to turn in a project (which I know she completed) I decided she needed more help than I could provide. On the recommendation of a friend, I called Educational Connections. The staff took time to listen to my concerns and placed us with an awesome coach. After just a couple of sessions my daughter has really connected with her coach and I just received a stellar progress report from her teacher. They only reason I didn't give this company 5 stars was the price. This service was more than I was looking to spend but the quality is exceptional. I was looking for something more than traditional tutoring and found it with Educational Connections.
