It was in Nursery School where the teachers brought to my attention that my younger son Aidan needed 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 read more

This summer, we have been using a fabulous tutor Abigail from Marin Tutors . She helps with SAT and ACT preparation and teaches math and organization skills . Abigail has a fantastic positive energy and friendly teaching style which helps students look forward to the learning process. My children had said they do not like math and were afraid to have someone help them before they began working with Abigail . The tutor completely transformed that way of thinking which has led to a positive breakthrough for my children. read more

I am in awe by the level of professionalism and outstanding service that Marin Tutors provides. The owner, Shannon has an empathetic and caring heart. She cares deeply about her students and matching up students and tutors who are a perfect fit for one another. There is no other way of saying it, she is really nice! Shannon has been doing this for 24 years. Math, science and other subjects. Throughout history, the most learned scholars and thinkers had the benefit of private tutors. There is no better way to learn. Over the weekend , one of Marin's high school girls was able to get help for an Algebra test within the same day . That's what ya call SERVICE ! They are a 5 star tutoring company !" Rob Smith read more

My Daughter has worked with Marin tutors through her first year of high school and it's been a real boost in her confidence. The tutors she has had have been able to connect with her and make her comfortable. Her first tutor, Sarah, went away to get her doctorate in S. California and I was worried that we wouldn't get someone as great as her, my daughter really responded well with Sarah. Marin Tutors had someone right away to take over her schedule with our daughter and she was equally amazing. I think Marin tutors has a team of wonderful people that care about the kids and take the time to get to know the individual challenges that they have. I plan to use Marin tutors for the rest of my daughters high school years to give her the support and one on one attention that she needs. read more

I have university and faculty experience and therefore my sister asked me to locate a tutor for my nephew. She said "the best tutor"! My friend recommended Marin Tutors so I met with Shannon, the owner to to find out what do they have to offer. I was impressed and my nephew started taking some lessons. He was more than an average student in high school but obviously he needed additional coaching as we were targeting Stanford. After a few months we found that this he liked Marin Tutors and had very good experience. My younger nephew will be graduating next year and we will seek their services again. Thank you, Marin Tutors! Your are great! read more

We have been working with Marin Tutors for 6 months and have been very pleased. My son is a freshman in high school, is an athlete and has very high aspirations. His math tutor, Scott, is the same (and was the same in high school). He knows the material, but as important, explains it and communicates clearly with teenagers. Scott is friendly but persistent, always on time and yet flexible when required. Shannon, the director of Marin Tutors, matched my son with Scott based on interests, personality, and needs. I think the match is critical to success. My son went from worried about his honors math class in October to confident by December and now enjoys the challenge and the class. What a relief. We plan to continue working with Marin Tutors. I also found their rates to be more reasonable than most. read more

My son loves Marin Tutors. We started using their services last year and have had three different tutors for a variety of subjects. Each tutor was focused and fun. It has always been a challenge helping my son with his school work, especially the math. I spoke with Shannon, told her a little bit about my son and his needs. She suggested the tutor that she thought would be the right fit. Each one has been great. Such a relief. read more
