Our Students’ Stories

“Thank you, Connections Academics, for the confidence you have given my daughter in math. Before working with her tutor, she would approach math problems with the assumption she did not know how to solve them, even before she looked at it. After weekly support from her tutor, she is finally confident enough in math to start the school year without her tutor. She knows her tutor is available if the need arises, but she now approaches math with a positive attitude.”
