Christy joined Marks Education in 2017 with over 15 years of prior experience across the education sector. She has an extensive background in classroom teaching, private tutoring, and education policy.

In the classroom, Christy taught all middle school subject areas, designed and led the implementation of her school’s middle school mathematics and science curricula, and built a thriving musical theater program. In addition to classroom teaching, she also privately tutored numerous middle and high school students for the ACT®, SAT, and various academic subjects, and she directed a summer performing arts camp for elementary and middle school students.

After six years of classroom teaching, Christy and her husband relocated from Minnesota to Northern Virginia, where she earned her law degree from George Mason University. After law school, Christy served as a Presidential Management Fellow with the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Justice, managing education outreach programs and practicing education law. Before joining Marks Education, Christy worked as the Director of Policy & Research at 50CAN, a national nonprofit that advocates for more effective state laws and local policies in PreK-12 education.

Christy currently provides test prep tutoring for the GRE, ACT®, SAT, ISEE, and SSAT. She also tutors the academic subjects of math, statistics, chemistry, reading, and writing. Christy focuses on building strong personal relationships with her students, identifying each student’s unique needs, and crafting individualized plans to maximize their success.

Christy grew up in Minnesota, and her husband’s career has taken them back and forth between Northern Virginia and many amazing places around the world since 2008. They enjoy traveling and exploring everything each new and unique place they have lived has to offer. She’s always up for trying the local cuisine and loves any chance to catch a live concert or musical theater performance.

Christy is available to tutor students virtually or in person at the McLean office.

Testimonials

I have twin junior sons who were working with a different tutor. While they liked their tutor they felt that they had hit a wall with their current tutor. We switched to Marks and Christy and she was able to help them get through the wall and my boys were able to achieve their target SAT scores (1500 plus). She was extremely responsive despite being across the pond. I could not recommend Christy enough if your student is willing to put in the work. Marks' weekend practice tests were extremely helpful.

Working with Christy VanOverbeke has been an absolute game-changer for my daughters. Christy’s expertise and approachable teaching style made even the most challenging concepts feel manageable. Thanks to her guidance, my daughters not only improved their grades but also developed a deeper understanding of the subject setting them up for success for future courses. Christy is a true gem, and I can’t recommend her services enough!
