Outstanding SAT Tutor!
Ryan, 6 lessons with MarianaMarina was my student’s SAT tutor, and she was one of the best tutors with whom my student has ever worked. Mariana always texted meeting reminders and made herself available at all hours for lessons. She was extremely encouraging and thoughtful in her approach. My student had decent math scores, but weaker verbal scores in SAT practice tests. After working with Mariana, she ended up scoring 780 math and 780 verbal.

If you want to be tutored by a Top 1% tutor on Wyzant's platform, you're at the right place. As the CEO of this site informed me in an email, my exact percentile is 99.40%. I specialize in test preparation (SAT, ACT, PRAXIS, SSAT, ISEE, GRE...) and editing (college, application, research, dissertation papers).
I have been full-time tutoring for over two decades. Through this site, I have been tutoring since 2012 and have been keeping the top-tutor position through all this time. The...

My student had decent math scores, but weaker verbal scores in SAT practice tests. After working with Mariana, she ended up scoring 780 math and 780 verbal.

Improving every day
Mariana is such a passionnant tutor and works so well with my daughter. I see her improving after every lesson as she prepares for the SSAT. Mariana provides valuable strategies for the exam and pushes students to leverage these reading strategies.

so helpful
Mariana knew exactly how to help my daughter understand what she was being tested in, strategies and also boosted her confidence. She is terrific at really assessing the student’s needs and supporting that. She is super dedicated and communicative. Thanks Mariana!

Top tutor!
Mariana is working with my son for a couple of weeks and he is very happy to have classes with her. She is extremely knowledgeable in SAT section prep, but the most important to me is the fact that she truly cares for her students, and she is not afraid to commit with results. My son feels confident that he can succeed and it’s already a great achievement. Thank you Mariana for your dedication and patience.

My son's SAT English score from 680 to 730 in 4 weeks!
Mariana is THE BEST SAT English tutor! After taking help from another tutor for my son 3 months and not seeing my son's SAT English score move from 680 after two attempts, Mariana taught my son for just 4 weeks and moved his SAT English score from 680 to 730 (99th percentile)! That took his SAT score from 1480 to 1530 making him a LOT more competitive in his college applications and ability to get into a higher ranked school! Can't thank Mariana enough for her commitment and involvement in my son's success!!!!
Ashok, 6 lessons with MarianaTutor responded:Ashok, Thank you very much for your kind review! I highly appreciate it. I know it is inspiring for other students because your son's dedication to his academic career is remarkable. I am honored and humbled to be part of his success.
Supportive and patient tutor
Mariana has been wonderful to work with. She is patient and supportive of our son and genuinely cares about their success. We will continue to use her to assist with SAT/ACT readiness.

Really one of the best
I have used many Wyzant tutors, I have 4 kids, and many of them have been good, even very good. But Mariana is the best, period. My son who is very bright hates when I get him tutors. I wanted to get him a SAT tutor just to help out a bit. He thought Marina was helpful, smart, and taught him well. He never says that. Thank you. I cannot express to you how mush I would recommend her.

Experienced and skill tutor
Mariana has a very unique and successful approach to teaching reading strategies for ISEE/SSAT. She helped me brother improve in just two weeks. Her strategies are specific and applicable. She forgoes generic advice that most tutors give and instead gives nuanced and original strategic advice.
