The staff includes highly trained clinicians and accredited teachers, and families can receive individualized training from an expert clinician; founder Debra Gawrys has a B.A. in Education and a Master’s degree in Learning Disabilities from St. Xavier University, and she has taught 2nd, 5th, and 6th grades and worked as a learning disabilities resource teacher in the suburban public school system. The mission of Connections Learning Center is: “We want to help every student who walks through our door to become as independent and successful of a learner as possible.” Connections Learning Center offers tutoring services throughout Chicago and the Southwest suburbs.
