Hi! I’m Marina. Welcome to my classroom.

I’m a passionate educator with over a decade of experience helping students grow in confidence and skill. I hold a Master’s in Secondary Education and multiple teaching certifications, including English as a second language. Throughout my career, I’ve taught everything from AP Literature and Creative Writing to grammar fundamentals and reading comprehension to English as a second language and English as a foreign language while living abroad. Growing up abroad taught me a lot about language and how we communicate. Those are the experiences that have shaped me as an educator.

I’ve worked in both in-person and online classrooms, served as a curriculum developer, instructional coach, and college counselor, and led professional development for fellow educators. My approach to tutoring is personal, flexible, and focused on meeting each student where they are. Whether you or need support catching up, getting ahead, or finding your voice, I’m here to help you succeed—and even enjoy the process.
