I am so, so, thankful to Tom Richey for helping me in AP Euro. I binged … More him for three days straight and rewatched all his videos until I had memorized them.

Marco materials have helped me immensely this past year. As I was … More struggling to provide materials and feedback to online and in-person students in synchronous learning, their materials helped me to streamline the process of feedback and to create lessons that would work for all of my students. I used their M-C materials and their check-box rubrics. I also showed a couple of their instructional videos to my classes to keep from reinventing the wheel.

Marco Learning offer very valuable resources that are easy to understand. … More In addition, Marco Learning presents their lessons in an engaging manner and also adds in some inside jokes and pictures of Marco (the adorable support dog who is also their mascot). So yes, I think Marco Learning is better than all the other "tutoring" places that I have heard about. Not only did they help me feel more confident about the APs and SATs, they did it in a fun way and that is the most important part. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Marco!

Marco Learning creates a positive, welcoming learning environment … More through the screen. Any questions are answered almost immediately, the presentations are insightful, and the instructors are personable, good-natured people passionate about their subjects. Marco not only responds swiftly during class but offers a rapid response in their social media pages. I've completed 3+ Marco courses now, and I have taken away valuable information from each one. I've never been able to say that with complete confidence about an online course before, and I'm looking forward to attending more Marco courses in the future!

AP classes can be stressful and overwhelming. Luckily I had Marco … More Learning to guide me through every step of the way. They offer many free amenities such as preparations, practice tests and reviews. There are opportunities where you can pay to have multiple review sessions where you can ask questions and interact with Marco learning teachers. As well as multiple practice tests that they grade. And that’s only part of what they offer. Marco leaning is the best and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Marco Learning has been the best online PD for educators that I have … More seen in a long time, especially for high school and AP courses! So many times educational companies give you the smallest amount of free items to snag you into pay huge amounts of money for resources and PD. The spring of 2020 has been a huge transition. There were so many free resources, such as study guides and review videos. While they do also have courses/PD that you pay for, it is a reasonable price. All the people with Marco Learning are honest, supportive, responsive, and engaging! You "walk" away with many resources, videos, lessons that you have access to for a year, which of course you can download and save. They have also created Google and Wakelet communities to share resources for an unlimited amount of time.

The teachers at this institution are amazing and give their students special attention to ensure everyone is comprehending the information.

As a high school teacher for 35 years and an AP teacher for half that … More time - I can say that my year-long experience with Marco Learning has been the best professional development of my career. Their resources are excellent - on point with the latest changes to the AP curriculum - practical - they can be applied immediately to the classroom - student and teacher friendly - I don't have to do a ton of research to use their resources and they are written so students can practice the skills they need for the AP exam. Participating in the webinars has given me the opportunity to reflect on my own instruction and to make changes to improve student learning. John Moscatiello is a gifted and brilliant facilitator and Tom Richey is Tom Richey - a gem beyond words. Lastly -Marco Learning was a lifeline in a sea of uncertainty during this pandemic There was so much fear and so many questions as to how the shutdown would impact my students and their chances for success on the AP exams. Marco Learning provided invaluable resources and insights that enabled me to better prepare my students for their exams. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
