I founded Marks Education in 2004, drawing on lessons learned after working for more than 30 years as an independent school teacher and administrator. My goal was to build a skilled team that would provide comprehensive, strategic, and tailored support for students through every step of their educational journey.
I am proud that today we have a global, diverse practice with years of superb outcomes. I am even prouder that we focus on relationships as much as results. Over 97% of our families return to us for work with all their children.
With our team approach, educational advisors and tutors collaborate to review data, highlight strategy, and tailored support for shared students. We also share a core value. We deeply believe that success is rarely magical. Mostly, it’s methodical. Every day, we help students identify their own process and path for success. We love seeing how this boosts their confidence, as well as their performance.
I’m so grateful that thousands of families have trusted our team with their children’s educational journeys.
