Educational Connections Tutoring, Executive Function Coaching, and College Consulting - Alexandria, Virginia

We cannot recommend Lisa highly enough as an algebra tutor! Our twins have been working with her for over six months, and the transformation we've seen in our daughter is truly remarkable. When we first started, she was feeling defeated and believed she would never excel in math, especially after facing some harsh criticism from her school teachers.

Lisa's approach is not only focused on teaching the content but also on nurturing confidence. Her loving and supportive demeanor has helped our daughter regain her self-esteem and view math in a positive light. The progress she's made in understanding algebra has been impressive, and she now looks forward to her sessions with Lisa.

Thanks to Lisa's dedication and encouragement, our daughters feel more capable and motivated to tackle math challenges. We couldn't be more grateful for the impact she has had on their education. If you're looking for a tutor who combines expertise with a caring approach, Lisa is the one!

Educational Connections is amazing and changed my son's life. He was diagnosed with dyslexia a week before his junior year of high school. His tutors were amazing and worked with us quickly to help him improve his reading and taught us how to work with dyslexia. The tutors are kind, compassionate and educated. The confidence they instilled in him changed him as a person. We always got progress reports after each tutoring session. My son got into his dream college, and I will forever be grateful to Educational Connections. Amazing organization!

I came cross Jennifer and her team when my son was a freshman in College. He has struggled with math mostly during his years in secondary school, at least that's what we all thought. It wasn't until we engaged the services of Jennifer and her team that we actually realized what was missing. Not only was my son struggling in math, he was struggling with how to study, none of his IEPs and evaluations picked that up. Mike Vogt, was his dedicated coach and he worked with my son to develop executive function skills that now allow him to plan for his deliverables in school. He has finally learned how to study and is managing on his own and he is less anxious about school in general. I wish my son had this oversight and guidance early on in life, then, he would have not struggled through all those years and would have an even better outcome. We are very grateful to have found Educational Connections, Jennifer and Mike understood the need and went above and beyond !!!

My daughter is graduating this year and has used the Educational Connections college counseling service since her junior year. Her counselor Kristen is knowledgeable, encouraging and kind. She helped her brainstorm activities that interest her, advised her on college selection and guided her through the application process. We highly recommend Educational Connections.

Our student has excelled with help from Educational Connections. They receive twice weekly, online EF coaching from an organized, compassionate, and professional coach. It has truly been a night and day difference with their ability to manage their school work. Can't recommend it enough.

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!!

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.

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!!!
