The Learning Connection and Neilson Academy

We LOVE The Learning Connection. The Center, itself, is very comfortable and welcoming. The teachers exude professionalism, competence and warmth. Linda, the Director, is not only on top of things, but also responsive to input from the family, and flexible in her approach to ensuring each child flourishes. My boys, who are fraternal twins, entered with different skill levels in reading and writing. They are both improving their skills rapidly this summer!!! If I had not already signed a contract at a local private school, I would enroll them in the Neilson Academy full time this fall. No other school that I visited offers so much personal attention, or programs equally customized to each child’s needs.

We adore the Learning Connection and what they have done for our family!
When our eldest son was 4 he was struggling as a pre-​reader and within approximately 10 hours of tutoring
he had already dramatically improved his fluency and comprehension of the material. I have also used them several times over the last several years
for general advice on homeschooling & education, curriculum choices and tough areas we have run into. The warmth, personalization and passion for
education sets TLC apart and we highly recommend them to all our friends as the best tutoring facility we know.

Trust, compassion, acceptance, kindness, support… these are just a few words that describe the qualities that Linda, Bob and staff nurture at The Neilson Academy.
What is most important is that they accept each student as an individual and develop a curriculum that carefully strengthen core levels of learning. This in turn develops a more self confident child.
Elliott had a very challenging time in the public school system before finding The Neilson Academy. With in six months Elliott has developed consistent work habits, he has learned an inner responsibility toward him self and a greater respect for others.
The Neilson Academy creates a safe nurturing environment for this type of development. Elliott has a stronger sense of himself and understanding on how to realize his dreams of being an actor. The Neilson Academy embraces each child and their unique individual potential.
As a parent I felt completely safe about dropping him off everyday, I as a parent felt supported knowing that Elliott was loved and honored, with compassionate direction.
Elliott is a more confident and determined child, which has much to do with the stewarding of this special school and staff.
With Gratitude,
