With a Master's degree in English and 30 years in the classroom — including Advanced Placement Literature and Language — I bring serious academic credentials to every session. But what my students remember isn't my resume. It's that I made them better thinkers.
I specialize in:

College application essays — I've guided more than 1,000 students from blank page to final draft, helping them find their authentic voice and tell their story compellingly
AP English Literature and Language — deep text analysis, rhetorical strategies, timed writing, and exam preparation
Academic writing and critical reading — from thesis development to close reading across all grade levels
Homeschool families — flexible, personalized instruction that fits your family's rhythm and documents learning for your portfolio

My approach is Socratic — I don't give answers, I ask the right questions until students find them themselves. Parents tell me their kids go from dreading English to actually wanting to do the work. That's the goal every time.
I work with middle school, high school, and college students. Whether your child needs foundational reading support, AP exam prep, or a college essay that gets them noticed — I've done it all, and I love this work.

Confidence growing in English

Marc has been tutoring my son for a few months, and it’s been a wonderful experience. My son has struggled with English (both reading and writing) since first grade. He recently started his freshman year in high school and asked me for extra help in English. Certainly, with an older brother applying to college and hearing many family dinner conversations about the process, he sees the connection between high school grades and the next phase. I wish that I would have discovered Marc and the Wyzant platform earlier, but my son's progress wasn't always clear during middle school and the post-COVID years. However, I believe we are in a better position now. I once worried that my son would not make it through 9th grade honors English, but with Marc's help I am more confident my son will succeed. My son and Marc have been mainly focused on reading concepts so far. Marc has helped our son move beyond surface-level understanding and start looking for deeper meaning in texts. Marc asks thoughtful, guiding questions that lead our son to figure things out on his own rather than just giving answers, helping him become a more independent learner. My son says that he feels more confident now when new texts are presented to him. Marc is very patient, kind, and encouraging, and connects very well with teenagers. Not only has he helped build our son’s self-esteem, but he’s also changed our son's attitude toward English. He used to never enjoy the subject, and it was difficult to get him to focus on assignments. However, I believe that is changing, as my son seems to want to ensure he completes the homework properly for the next tutoring session. I look forward to seeing my son's progress in writing as well as that has also been a challenging area. We’re very grateful for Marc's support and would highly recommend him to other families.
