What Students and Parents are
Saying About Us

  • “Markus Education has provided me with countless opportunities in my academic journey. Thanks to the dedicated tutors they connected me with, I successfully graduated from high school. Furthermore, with their guidance and support, I was able to gain admission to the college of my dreams.

    Adele - Student

  • “I feel so fortunate to have met Maria. I began working with her in early August 2023, and she has been incredibly welcoming and supportive throughout the entire process. I could always reach out to her with any question, and she would provide a detailed explanation. Together, we worked on my personal statement, and Maria helped me write and review every additional essay. Given my financial situation, which required nearly a full scholarship, Maria guided me in selecting colleges that met my needs.”

    Masha - Student

  • “The goal of Alice's education was to gain admission to college; therefore, her final academic year of high school in the U.S. was dedicated to this pursuit. Maria not only helped Alice adapt to her new environment and improve her grades but also assisted in preparing her college application documents. The application paperwork is critical, but we faced no issues during the process, as everything was well-organized and under control. Following Maria’s advice, Alice traveled to Boston and New York to explore her interest in studying Art History. After narrowing down our options, we chose PRATT INSTITUTE in New York!”
