About Marquis Tutoring
Enrichment Tutoring
The results of your 1-on-1 tutoring should go further than this semester’s test scores.
Marquis Tutoring is an academic coaching service that focuses on creating long-term benefits just as much as short-term results. Throughout my career, I’ve learned that lasting academic success is all about creating sustainable study systems and habits that can be applied to any level of education. However, that looks different for every student. From the first session, I take note of your child’s challenges and strengths to create an enrichment tutoring structure tailored to their success. I’ve worked with students of all backgrounds and learning styles, so whether your child needs an evolving study plan for their diagnosed learning challenge, or needs support excelling in their AP class, I've got their back.
Many parents ask me about “the secret” to ensure students excel in competitive environments. My answer? Building better thinkers. However, this isn’t a “quick fix.” It’s a process of slowly developing your child’s academic stamina to ensure their independence post-graduation. After all, my end goal is not to be needed.
If your kids are burnt out from doing all the work without seeing any results, it’s time to redesign the tools. Don’t wait for your children to shut down from overwhelm. Get in touch today for a consultation to discuss your child’s needs.
Meet Your Academic Coach: Mya Marquis
I’ve always been a science nerd passionate about making learning efficient—with a dash of fun.
Eventually, I figured out that enrichment tutoring was the best way to channel my superpower. As a recent biochemistry graduate with a focus on science education, I quickly landed an adjunct chemistry professor position in New York City to pursue my passion. Over the following years, my time was split between teaching chemistry in college and high school classrooms, and tutoring students 1-on-1 in NYC from “what is an atom” through pre-med organic chemistry. From there, Marquis Tutoring was born.
When families I worked with increasingly requested academic coaching in other subjects, I naturally branched out to support them in every way I could. This opened the door for me me to work with students long-term, becoming instrumental in their overall science mindedness and college readiness. Together, we established foundational systems that were easily transferrable to other subjects and academic levels, giving them the grades, habits, and confidence to pursue their dreams.
Since 2010, I have been empowering everyone, from overwhelmed kids with organizational difficulties, to high performers taking AP biology, chemistry or physics courses, with a holistic approach. That means encouraging them to engage with their educators, peers, and classes in new ways. I believe resilient students result from much more than good grades—they come from a social, creative, and problem-solving mindset that can be carried into any phase of their education (and even life!).
With Marquis Tutoring, my mission is to empower students with the tools, skills, and mindset needed for long-term success in their journey. My 1-on-1 tutoring sessions, online and in NYC, aim to empower students to tackle any challenge by tapping into their brand of academic flow.
My Values
Transparency
Every one of my successful 1-on-1 tutoring relationships, whether it be in NYC or online, starts with honesty. Just as I am straightforward about what you can expect from my sessions, I hope to get a clear understanding of your kids’ needs and the level of support necessary. You can always count on comprehensive feedback regarding your child’s progress.
Independence
Marquis Enrichment Tutoring is designed to create autonomous and self-assured students who will eventually not need my support. Our sessions include mindfulness training that will give them the tools to stay calm, cool, and collected, even during exam season. Over time, your children will develop a solid foundation and only seek my support for those really challenging moments (or not at all!).
Integrity
I take an ethical approach to academic coaching, meaning I don't do my students' essays, lab reports, or assignments for them. Not only can this send the wrong message to your kids, but it’s detrimental to their long-term success. Trust me, your children are fully capable of excelling in their math and science courses—all they need are the tools and systems to harness their unique strengths.
Fun
When it comes to enrichment tutoring in NYC, a little fun can go a long way! Private schools are serious enough as it is, so I like to engage my students with a laugh here and there to keep them going, even when the going gets rough. Lightening the mood also helps them feel their tutoring sessions are not just “more school” and has proven to keep kids engaged.
