Get tutored by real classroom teachers. Safety. Security. Quality. Our platform is exclusive to certified educators, retired teachers, ECEs.
Work with teachers who understand the Curriculum/subject matter experts & have experience working with kids. Fairness and equity are at the core of our values. Founded by a teacher and a parent, we profoundly understand the connection between the teacher and the student. A teacher’s working condition directly impacts students’ learning conditions. For children to succeed, teachers need to succeed.
They don't need a cape to be a hero.
Just a dad who shows up. Every single time.
Happy Father's Day to every dad who just showed up.
Some kids can read every letter on the page and still can't get the words off it. If that sounds like your child, meet Mary.
Mary is one of the newest teachers at Connect Education. After decades of teaching students from preK through high school, she retired, but her enthusiasm for learning brought her right back.
She's a special education specialist, and her training as a teacher for the deaf shaped a unique approach to reading. Many of the students she helps struggle with how they process sound, an issue that's often unrecognized but can affect reading, spelling, speech, and even math. Over the years, she developed her own strategies that help these learners engage with print differently and finally succeed, especially the ones who haven't had luck with other programs.
Her teaching feels informal and follows each student's response, but it's very intentional: focused on how to think, how to recognize understanding, and how to build learning strategies that last.
Outside of lessons, she's out in the country gardening and making trails through the woods with her pack of puppies.
If your child has been struggling to read, Mary would love to have a chat. This could be the right fit.

Nobody taught you more than the woman who stayed up late, got up early, and never asked for credit.
Happy Mother's Day💛
We have a new certified teacher on Connect Education, and we think a lot of parents are going to love her. 💙
Meet Connie. A retired teacher with 25 years of classroom experience, now available to support your child one-on-one.
If your child struggles with reading, avoids writing, or finds it hard to get their thoughts down on paper, Connie has spent her entire career helping exactly those kids.
She worked for years in special education supporting reluctant readers, then taught English literature and essay writing, and has a real gift for helping students find their confidence and their voice on the page.
She also believes that in a world full of AI, learning to write authentically is one of the most important skills a child can develop. We couldn't agree more.
Is your child struggling with reading or writing? Connie might be the perfect match.

"How do we actually support these kids?"
That's the question our founder Marilyn asked herself when she started Connect Education Inc.
Not "who's to blame?" Not waiting for the system to fix itself. Just finding a way to support the people at the center of it all... the kids, the parents, and the teachers.
That's why we exist. 💙

This week: a FREE live event from an expert Cheryl Ann Pankhurst in special education and IEPs.
"If your child has an IEP and is heading into Grade 9, there are a few things most parents are NOT told…
And that's where a lot of stress starts.
I talk to parents all the time who are doing everything they can: tutoring, support, advocating, but still feel unsure about what actually changes in high school, and whether the IEP will really follow their child.
I'm Cheryl Pankhurst, a Special Education Specialist and Family Advocate with 25+ years of experience supporting families through IEPs and school transitions.
I'm going live to walk you through what actually matters in the Grade 8 → 9 transition, what to ask, and how to feel more confident going into September.
🗓 Wednesday April 29
