Watch this week's new webinar- There is a College For Everyone: Tips for Finding a "Right Fit"... Even When Grades are Average.
Elementary school is a critical time for students to develop foundational executive function (EF) skills, which are the keys to success in school and life! But these skills, including how to stay organized, on task, and meet challenges, often aren’t taught at school.
Through a research-based curriculum with a hand-selected coach, your child will be introduced to the core concepts of executive function. Learn how:
Your child needs a study system for effective note-taking, summarizing, and reviewing. That’s what will ultimately make a difference in their confidence, test scores, and grades.

My journey in education started as a Fairfax County school teacher. After leaving the classroom, I founded Educational Connections Inc. in 1998, tutoring one student at my dining room table in the Washington DC area. The growing company now employs more than 100 subject tutors, test prep tutors, college counselors, and executive function coaches.
Over the years, I've seen that homework causes tremendous strife in many households. My first book, Homework Made Simple; Tips, Tools, and Solutions for Stress-Free Homework, is a practical resource to help parents deal with daily struggles and frustrations. The book is a winner of the Parent's Choice Award, Benjamin Franklin Award, and the ForeWard Book of the Year Award.
Most recently I've been featured in The Washington Post, Parenting Magazine, Men's Health, Inc Magazine, and Washington DC's Channel 8. I love speaking to organizations and schools, too! You can book a presentation here: www.anndolin.com
