About Marina
I was born in Miami, Florida, and raised in Puerto Rico by Cuban parents. Growing up, I had to learn English from scratch, so I understand what it’s like to face academic challenges and work through them step by step. I wasn’t someone who had a natural talent for English or standardized tests—instead, I relied on determination, consistency, and grit. Those experiences shaped the way I approach learning and teaching today. I believe that success isn’t about being naturally gifted; it’s about having the right mindset, effective strategies, and the willingness to keep improving. That’s the same encouragement and support I strive to give every student I work with.

English & SAT Reading & Writing Tutor
I help students raise their SAT Reading & Writing scores and strengthen their English skills by teaching the strategies that took me from a 530 to a 710. I was raised in Puerto Rico, born to Cuban parents, and I also help students learn English.
When I first started preparing for the SAT, I scored a 530 on the Reading & Writing section. Through dedicated studying, learning effective test-taking strategies, and putting in the work, I raised my score to a 710. That experience showed me that improvement is possible for any student willing to stay consistent and trust the process.
I don’t consider myself someone who was naturally gifted at standardized testing. What helped me succeed was grit, discipline, and learning how the SAT actually works. Because I’ve experienced that journey firsthand, I understand the challenges students face and can help them develop the skills and strategies needed to improve.
I offer tutoring in:
* SAT Reading & Writing
* Reading comprehension
* Grammar and punctuation
* Vocabulary development
* Test-taking strategies
* Time management for the SAT
* Homework help and study skills
My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and personalized. I focus on helping students understand concepts, recognize patterns in SAT questions, and build confidence so they can approach the test with a clear strategy.
Students can expect:
* Personalized study plans
* Practice questions with detailed explanations
* SAT Reading & Writing strategies that helped me improve
* Progress tracking and goal setting
* Flexible sessions tailored to individual needs
* A supportive and positive learning environment
My goal is to help students gain confidence, strengthen their English skills, and achieve meaningful score improvements. Having raised my own SAT Reading & Writing score from 530 to 710, I know firsthand that growth comes from hard work, and I’m excited to help students reach their goals.
