The coordinate transformation law for a affine connection has a homogeneous term with one upper and two lower index factors, and an inhomogeneous term involving second coordinate derivatives. The latter is the same for both Levi-Civita connections, so it cancels in their difference. Consequentlywhich is exactly the tensor component transformation law. Equivalently, $(\tilde{\nabla }-\nabla {)}_{X}Y$ is linear over functions in both $X$ and $Y$.
