Make sure they don't need you to. Critical reading, literary analysis, essay writing, and Socratic discussion — private school methodology for any student at any school.
Reading comprehension, literary analysis, essay writing — the skills that determine whether your kid sinks or swims. We build them from the ground up.
The gap between public school prep and what college expects is real. Project Prospero closes it — independent thinking, persuasive writing, confident speaking.
If your kid's school is under-resourced, overcrowded, or just not enough — this is the intervention. And if they're in a failing public school, it's free.
Add rigorous ELA instruction to your curriculum without reinventing the wheel. Marc brings 30 years of classroom experience to your student's schedule.
Every session begins with a conversation — not a lesson plan. Marc asks questions that make the student think, not questions with obvious answers.
Students learn to read the way writers read — for argument, craft, and meaning. Real texts. Not excerpts. Not summaries. The actual work.
One major written piece per month. From blank page to finished argument, with feedback at every draft. The student finds their voice.
Tools that transfer everywhere — any text, any argument, any subject. These don't belong to English class. They belong to the student, forever.
Baked into the final quarter. By this point the student knows how to write. The essay is just one more argument — the most important one they've made.
If your child attends a failing public school, they get free lifetime access to the Open Session — every week, forever. No fees. No expiration. No catch. Send proof of enrollment once and your kid is in for life.
A school ID photo or enrollment letter. One time only.
Zoom link and permanent free access within 24 hours.
Real homework help. Real discussion. Free forever.
Private 1:1 mentorship for the student who's ready to go all the way.
Small-group sessions — same methodology, accessible price.
One session, no commitment. Real instruction on whatever your student needs right now.

Marc spent 30 years teaching in schools exactly like the one your kid attends — under-resourced, overcrowded, and underfunded. He watched brilliant kids get swallowed by a system that never gave them the tools to fight back. Project Prospero is his answer.
He's not a tutor who reads a textbook and marks an answer sheet. He's a 30-year classroom veteran who spent his career fighting failure one student at a time. He also built and coached a debate program for six years — which means he doesn't just teach writing. He teaches argument, oral confidence, and the ability to think under pressure.
Marc is available to visit homeschool groups and co-ops in person. Email directly to discuss a session for your group.
Marc asks thoughtful, guiding questions that lead our son to figure things out on his own rather than just giving answers — helping him become a more independent learner. My son says he feels more confident now when new texts are presented to him. My son has struggled with English since first grade. I once worried that he would not make it through 9th grade honors English — but with Marc's help I am more confident my son will succeed. Marc has helped him move beyond surface-level understanding and start looking for deeper meaning in texts. Not only has Marc helped build our son's self-esteem, but he's also changed our son's attitude toward English. He used to never enjoy the subject. Now my son actually wants to make sure he completes the homework properly for the next session.
Prior to meeting Marc, I never really had an interest in improving my English skills. He introduced me to classics like Hamlet and The Tempest in a much more casual setting — this made reading and writing feel purposeful. The debate team taught me how to do independent research and create an argument with a strong foundation. I'm getting a graduate degree in Materials Science Engineering. There is a LOT of research involved — and the skills Marc taught laid down the foundation for my success. No matter what path you're going down — STEM, blue collar, liberal arts — having Marc on your side would be an absolute game changer.
Throughout my experience with Marc as both a teacher and debate coach, he consistently demonstrated a genuine passion for his students and a strong dedication to their academic growth. He fostered higher-level thinking by posing thoughtful questions and constructively challenging students on the material — always maintaining a calm, kind, and supportive demeanor. To me, he stood out as an exemplary model of what a teacher should be in both conduct and character.
Marc always made time for his students and made sure that we could all perform to the best of our abilities — while we were with him, and even beyond the day we left his classroom. He was able to pull out the best in us because he was able to see what each of us had to offer. His dedication towards a student's academic growth and success truly sets him apart from many of the teachers — or even professors — that I have had.
