Enabling Students to Thrive

Connections Academics was founded in 2013 by Amanda Vaughn, a former teacher seeking a better balance between family life and her passion for education. What began as a small tutoring business in Cincinnati quickly grew into a trusted name for customized academic support. As the company’s owner and founder, Amanda continues to support families in Cincinnati while also leading the way across all locations—mentoring, training, and supporting regional directors as they expand Connections Academics' impact in Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, and now Columbus.

With a focus on strong relationships, high-quality instruction, and personalized support, Connections Academics has become a thriving network of educators who are deeply invested in the success of their students and communities.

Together, they've created thriving educational communities across the midwest.
