Marks Education offers web-based and in-person test prep and academic tutoring services for almost all U.S. standardized tests including the ACT, SAT, PSAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, SSAT, HSPT, and ISEE. We tutor for most academic subjects, and we also advise students on study skills.
We customize our approach to each student’s needs, using a baseline test to deconstruct strengths and weaknesses. Over a free 30-minute consult, we then lay out a plan to achieve the maximum score improvement in the least possible amount of time.
On average, our students see us for a total of 13-17 tutoring sessions, which take them through up to two administrations of a standardized test. This compares with 30-50 sessions recommended by many of our competitors. Our students leave each tutoring session feeling happier and more confident than when they came in. They achieve verified industry leading score improvements on every test we tutor.
Since 2006, we have used Skype tutoring, Google Hangout tutoring, FaceTime tutoring and interactive whiteboards to tutor students across the United States, in 18 different countries, and for seven top-notch schools and educational non-profits.

Marks Education works with students with a very wide range of incoming scores, and we are very proud of the improvements made by all of our students, even by those who came to us already scoring in the range for National Merit awards on the PSAT. We are also proud of the fact that we calculate our improvement only from official College Board and ACT tests, not tests that we manufacture.
Marks Education Tutoring results are achieved by working closely with parents and students. Tips on what to eat before a test, or how much sleep should you get before you take a test? We care about your success!
