He decided to define himself.

About Grade Success
As an English teacher for more than 30 years and camp administrator and consultant for almost as long, Marc has come to realize that children today need to learn how to deal with the often unexpected struggles in their lives.. I wrote my memoir to help teens and their parents navigate through myriad issues that often confront them when they least expect it. Bullying, drug use, depression, and teen suicide have touched the lives of far too many young people; it’s important for them to see that there are ways to avoid the negative outcomes that some have experienced.
My novel received a Five Star Review from Reader’s Favorite Review and Honorable Mention in the New England and Southwestern Book Festivals as well as Runner Up in the New York Book Festival.

As the owner of Grade Success Tutoring for over twenty years, I have helped many of my clients work through much more than just tests and academics.
