Allen tutors our two daughters (middle and high school) in math and writing while coaching me and…read moremy husband through a step-by step process on how to implement a project-based home curriculum. Now that we are both working from home, and with school closures in effect with no end in sight, Allen has been helping us create a home learning environment for our daughters. When we first started with Allen, he set us up with a daily schedule, which has helped us set routines for ourselves and for our children. The daily schedule has been a game changer for us. Personally, my own stress has been reduced because Allen has empowered me with the advice, skills, and patience to work with my own children in an academic homeschooling kind of way. 100% recommend Allen!! Wonderful and intelligent individual!

I highly recommend Allen Kushinsky. Allen came in to help my 9th grade son transition to his high…read moreschool studies. In particular, I wanted a strong writing instructor for one-on-one writing development. Allen is super easy-going and approachable, and he connected quickly with my son. He was wonderful at helping sort through the various class platforms (for grading, homework assignments, resources, etc.) which can be quite confusing at Drake. He was super patient, giving thoughtful and helpful feedback to my son. He also helped my son devise study systems for each of his classes, making the course load much more manageable. We hope to continue with Allen on a project basis, and then restart weekly meetings once winter sports are over.

It's 3 years later and I still look forward to my weekly classes with Isabella. We now meet…read moreonline via Zoom and I actually find it to be MORE convenient and easier to share information. In addition to building my skills and confidence in reading, writing and speaking Italian, I've learned more about grammar in general than I ever did in school. Isabella has an arsenal of tools and materials to offer and nothing beats having access to someone as knowledgeable and friendly as Isabella to help explain EXACTLY what you need to know. Highly recommend!

Isabella taught my daughter Italian for 4 months. My daughter was challenged with the personalized…read moreprogram that was outlined for her. Isabella was patient and flexible with our busy schedule. If you want to learn Italian from a native speaker and learn about Italian culture, then Isabella is a great choice.

Diana is not only an extremely talented artist but she is also a stellar instructor. My daughter…read morehas been taking classes with her for a short time but I have already seen her blossom under Diana's guidance. I would highly recommend Diana to any parent seeking a private teacher for their art focused child. She is patient, easy going and highly knowledgeable of traditional/classic art techniques.

Diana is a DREAM of a teacher. I am an adult beginner and new to drawing and painting, and wanted…read moreto get the foundations down. Diana is SO knowledgeable and organized. She took me from drawing in flat, 2-D to a beautiful 3-D drawing in pencil, in only 3-4 lessons. She is so thoughtful, organized and flexible - she sequenced and adjusted her curriculum to my needs and adjusted to my style of learning seamlessly. In addition, she interweaves art history into her lessons so you understand what she is teaching in context. And she is so nurturing and encouraging! I've gone through a few teachers and she is one of the very best. I recommend Diana for anyone looking to improve their skills.

College Prep: Caroline is AWESOME! She worked with our M.C. daughter on her college essays. She…read morewas adamant that the wording needed to be done in our daughter's voice, they had to be her experiences, and she worked and was able to bring the best examples and writing out of her. It was surprising how well our daughter's essays were, and the wording matched her grades. There were 3 colleges where our daughter had lower GPA and test scores, yet was accepted as others were not. Perhaps colleges are looking for the "entire" student, but with Caroline's guidance our daughter got there. My only regret, we should have used her for SAT/ACT prep.

It was in Nursery School where the teachers brought to my attention that my younger son Aidan…read moreneeded support in school. Once he started elementary school, his kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Chavez mentioned that he needed additional support. At that time, they did not know what the issues were. My thoughts were that he was too young for the grade but having a twin sister and she was advanced, I could not hold him back one year. My son struggled in school until I met Shannon Mulligan, owner of Marin Tutors. From the very beginning that I asked for help, Shannon took the time to provide the support that my son needed always paring him with excellent tutors that were compatible with my son's personality and their teaching techniques were always easy for my son to understand those math equations. Marin Tutors were common to see them at home, once or twice a week, every time that I came from work. From elementary school, up to his Senior year. Aidan recently graduated from San Rafael High School, Class 21, and he was accepted at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. In August, my husband Bradd, Aidan, and I drove to Las Vegas to settle him at the dorms of UNLV. It took us a few days to help him settle in his new stage in life, College. While we were helping to settle Aidan in his dorm, he expressed his excitement about his new college life, and he shared with us: "I can't believe that I am here right now, it is pretty exciting"... That really touched me, because automatically I went back in time, to those moments where he was filled with frustration for not being able to understand his math problems, all those moments that he felt "something was wrong with him" and being rescued by all those hours of tutoring with Marin Tutors. The truth is, that he is where he is right now, at UNLV thanks to Marin Tutors. He could not do it, or I could not help him (the math of nowadays is not my strength) without the help and support of Shannon Mulligan and all her excellent tutors that spent time with my son, one on one. To Shannon Mulligan, Marin Tutors, and all those college students that joined Marin Tutors thru the school years of my son, thank you for all your time, dedication, passion, patience, and knowledge. Thank you for all you contributed to helping my son Aidan. We would always be so grateful about it, and you would always be a part of my son. I guarantee you that!... Marin Tutors and Shannon Mulligan are simply the best! -Mirsonia
