Toronto, ON - August 14, 2025 - In today’s fast-paced, distraction-filled world, many students are falling behind—and both parents and teachers are feeling the pressure. A Toronto-based platform is stepping in to restore human connection at the heart of learning—reconnecting everyone involved in a child’s academic success.
Connect Education, a woman-led tech company, invites community leaders, educators, and anyone passionate about supporting students to its Innovation & Impact Reception on September 10. Attendees will get an exclusive first look at a platform that’s transforming how families access academic support—keeping real teachers at the center and using smart technology to remove the friction.
The Milestone Achievement
Connect Education’s new tutoring platform supports learners of all backgrounds, especially those often left behind. No child learns the same—factors like ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, language barriers, foster care, or classroom distractions all play a role. Families need real, personalized help.
The platform connects families with certified educators, including early childhood educators, retired teachers, and those with special education training—ready to work one-on-one, in-person or virtually, while families navigate the system.
It is among the first platform of its kind globally, built exclusively for certified educators. From new graduates to professionals awaiting placement, every teacher understands the curriculum and how to support students effectively.
The software automates all back-end logistics—custom matching in seconds, scheduling, and payments—so teachers can focus on teaching, and students can thrive.
Launch event highlights:
- Cocktail networking with educators, parents, and community leaders
- Door prizes for teachers
- Real stories from Ontario families and educators
- Keynote by Founder & CEO Marilyn Solano: Innovation with a Human Touch
- Live platform demonstrations
Why It Matters Now
Parents are overwhelmed watching their children fall behind, while teachers are stretched thin inside overcrowded classrooms.
There’s no finger-pointing—just a shared truth: many students need personalized support to stay on track. That support works best when delivered by educators who understand the curriculum and how to connect with students.
“Teachers are overwhelmed, and parents feel stuck. Kids are caught in the middle,” says Solano. “Adults turn to subject matter experts all the time—so why wouldn’t we give children that same one-on-one support? That’s exactly why I built this.”
While EQAO scores show modest gains, 29% of Grade 3 students and 20% of Grade 6 students are still not meeting reading standards.
Connect Education makes access to certified help easy and stress-free—with no subscriptions, no barriers, and free sign-up for families searching for support.
Leadership Perspective
Marilyn Solano, Founder & CEO, is a mom of two and a former global health tech executive. She founded Connect Education after seeing families struggle to find qualified help—while passionate teachers sat on the sidelines.
“Parents are paying top dollar for generic solutions—while certified teachers, some with special education experience and additional qualifications, are ready to help in-person or virtually. You’d be surprised how many of these incredible professionals are out there—we created this platform to help families find them.” – Marilyn Solano
