About Ryan DeMarco
Hi there! I’m Ryan! I am a lifelong learner, passionate educator, and enthusiastic history nerd with a global twist!
With over a decade of teaching and mentoring experience, I bring energy, depth, and a personal approach to every tutoring session. I served as a teacher a department chair at my local independent school. Throughout my career, I have taught middle and upper school students and lead academic programs that connected the classroom to the world. Being an AP teacher, I have successfully guided my classes to be well above the passing average for the state and national level.
With my teaching and mentoring, my goal is always the same: to help students build confidence, ask great questions, and think critically about the world around them. I’ve worked with students from ages 12 to 18 in classrooms, one-on-one settings, and online environments. I blend storytelling, inquiry-based learning, and real-world connections into my lessons, and I’m always ready to tailor our sessions to match your learning style, pace, and goals.

Testimonials
Mr. DeMarco has been an invaluable help to our daughter for AP World History and AP Human Geography. We have been so pleased with the extra content review and test taking strategies that Mr. DeMarco has introduced to her.
Rachel, Parent of 10th Grader
We have had an outstanding experience with my son’s AP History tutor, Ryan. His deep knowledge and genuine passion for U.S. history make the material engaging and easy to understand, and his flexible, patient approach has been a perfect fit for my son’s learning style. Ryan’s teaching techniques really resonate with my son, leading to greater confidence, stronger performance, and a true appreciation for the subject. I would highly recommend him to any parent looking for effective, results-driven AP History support.
Anand, Parent of 10th Grader
I really enjoy working with Mr. DeMarco! He helped me a lot with structuring my essays for both my college and scholarship applications. He was also flexible with his schedule when I would have to change our meetings at the last minute due to school events or sports.
