Our Academic Support Professionals
Ivy Tutor Connection tutors are not typical tutors. We are academic support professionals renowned for our expertise in being attuned to students and teaching the whole child, not just teaching a content area. In keeping with Constance’s values, families’ needs come first, and matches are made in an attempt to find a tutor who will be able to ‘grow’ with the family and continue to serve the needs of a student beyond the initial year and academic course for which the tutor is hired. A good tutor feels like a pillar if not truly a part of a family.

About our Founder:
Constance Borro founded Ivy Tutor Connection, LLC., in July 2015. She envisioned an academic support company that specializes in serving students with unique academic profiles through a whole-child approach. Constance is a veteran educator, having earned a B.A. from Yale University in 2008 and her Masters in the Science of Education in Secondary Mathematics from City University of New York, Lehman College in 2010.
Constance began her full time teaching career in New York City as a Teach for America Corps Member and served for 10 years in NYC public schools. She is a Math for America Early Career Fellow (2011) and Master Teacher (2015) and has extensive experience in instructional coaching. To pursue her passion for helping students and educators alike reach their potential, she relocated to Columbus, OH, in 2017 and served as Mathematics Department Chair and Instructional Coach at Columbus School for Girls, a Pre-K through 12 independent school and her own alma mater. Constance left the classroom in the fall of 2020 to be more present for her two young children, ages 4 and 6, while they engaged in a pandemic-era hybrid learning model. In addition to her role at Ivy Tutor Connection, she also co-owns and serves as CEO for Mastery Portfolio, a seed-stage educational technology company with a mission to reimagine grading and reporting in a way that motivates and supports- rather than ranks and sorts- students and educators.
