Educational Edge | 2026 LOVE Award Winner – Best Tutor

We have been working with this tutoring company for over three years, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. The ELA tutor (Alex) they matched with my son has been an invaluable part of his academic growth and confidence.
From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand his unique learning style. Over the years, she has helped him strengthen his thought process, develop his own voice, and become a much more independent writer. The progress we’ve seen has been remarkable.
One of the things we appreciate most is her flexibility. She regularly adjusts her schedule to meet with my son when he has assignments due so they can review them together. And on days when he doesn’t have specific homework, she always comes prepared with thoughtful and engaging work to keep him progressing.
What sets her apart, though, is the genuine interest she takes in him as a person. She asks about what’s going on in his life—whether it’s our home renovations, family trips, or assignments he’s already turned in—and uses those conversations to support his learning and build trust. She makes him feel proud of the work they accomplish together, and because of this, he looks forward to their sessions every week.
Finding someone who can connect with a child academically and personally is rare. We are so grateful for her dedication, patience, and the positive impact she’s had on our son. I wholeheartedly recommend this tutoring company to any family looking for meaningful, long-term support.

Educational Edge came into our family’s life through an Instagram post shared by a friend, and reaching out to them turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made for our child. She went from crying and believing she couldn’t write to earning an “A” in her classes.

The tutor Educational Edge matched us with is knowledgeable, kind, and wonderfully creative in the way she supports my child. My child’s face truly lights up when she walks through the door.

It’s immediately clear that this company is the owner, Erica Ritterman’s, passion—not just a job. From the way she speaks with parents when you call, to how deeply she listens to what makes each child unique, to the thoughtful care she takes in selecting the right tutors, everything reflects her genuine commitment. I can’t say enough positive things about Educational Edge and the incredible people who work there.

We started working with Educational Edge two months ago to support our daughter with reading comprehension, test preparation, and organizational skills and have been thrilled with the results so far. Erica set us up with our tutor, Alex, who has been the perfect match for our daughter and helped her get organized and start tracking and prioritizing her assignments and projects. Alex has also helped her with essays and word choice, as well as test skills.

We are very pleased with the work our Educational Edge tutor has done with our daughter. Our tutor is flexible and nice, and has the perfect personality for working with our daughter. She has already made some improvements in her test scores but I think the more important thing for us in the short term is going to be just increasing her confidence level and her affinity for math. We have been recommending their services to everyone.
