Marks Education

"I had the pleasure of working with Ryan while I was prepping for the GRE and recommend his counsel for those at all stages of their testing process. Ryan is patient, attentive, and an excellent listener. He cares about the success of his pupils and goes out of his way to ensure they are equipped with the tools needed to succeed on standardized tests like the GRE. As an example, the main reason why I wanted to work with a tutor was to overcome my test anxiety. Ryan taught me strategies and techniques I used to mitigate my anxiety in the weeks leading up to the test date and this allowed me to increase my score by 10 points over a three week period. Without Ryan's support I would not have been able to hit my target score."

"We were referred to Nitin Sawhney at the height of test prep season, and he was very accommodating, fitting us into his busy schedule. My son found the tutoring sessions to be highly effective - areas for improvement identified early on and later refined, as progress was made. We were thrilled with the outcome! The significant improvement in my son’s SSAT test result was attributed to Nitin’s insight of test strategies and focused test preparation. We found Nitin’s help to be invaluable and we would highly recommend him!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Dan Hertz for my October ACT. Because I only had a month to prep for the test, I didn't expect to get above 30 points. However, with Dan's help, by the end of the month I was scoring 34s on ACT practice tests. Dan was very organized, professional, on time, and made sure that we made the most of every minute of our sessions. He was always available to me for any questions, and it was clear that his approach to tutoring was one he personalized to meet the needs of each student, rather than following a "one size fits all" model. He was great at explaining concepts I found more difficult to grasp and was reassuring when I was stressed. He is an absolutely excellent tutor and I very strongly recommend him."

"Our experience at Marks Education was exceptional across the board. Ryan Blodgett did an outstanding job of preparing my son for the ACT and the SAT Math 2 Subject test. He ensured my son was well-prepared and also provided lots of practical advice, including many helpful test-taking tips and strategies. He was also very flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend."

"I've had a great experience working with Nitin Sawhney. He helped me prepare for the SATs in high school. I had such a great experience that my sister took lessons from him 2 years later, and we've referred him to several friends who have enjoyed working with him as well. He was helpful with all aspects of preparation: mastering the material through practice and tactical strategies for taking the test on testing day. He provided constructive feedback and much appreciated support throughout the entire process. This past year, I reached back out to him to see if he had any recommendations for how to best prepare for the GMAT. He helped me lay out a study plan, directed me to the best materials, and shared several helpful tactics for test taking day (in addition to strategies for minimizing stress in the days leading up to the test). In the end, I got a 770, which I was very pleased with. I'm not sure if I would have shot for such a high score without his encouragement and mentorship."
