Dedicated educator with more than a decade of international teaching experience.
Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan.
Combines test-prep instruction with a strong coaching mindset shaped by athletics.
Marton’s approach to test prep is built on the same principle that governs elite endurance training: structured periodization. His Phase-Based DSAT Strategic Prep framework moves students through three deliberate stages—building cognitive stamina in module-length sessions, closing specific knowledge gaps through targeted short-burst drills, and culminating in full-length test simulations that replicate exam-day conditions. Each phase has a defined goal, a clear performance threshold, and a logical transition to the next. Students do not just practice more; they practice smarter, at the right level, at the right time.
Has taught and mentored students internationally across multiple countries.
Combines language instruction and test prep with a coach’s approach to performance.
Uses individualized study planning as a central part of his methodology.
Marton Merritt is a test prep tutor and curriculum author whose work is grounded in a simple but rarely applied idea: the principles that produce elite endurance athletes also produce elite exam performers. His Phase-Based Strategic Prep framework moves students through three deliberate stages—building cognitive stamina, closing specific knowledge gaps through targeted drills, and culminating in full-length test simulations that replicate exam-day conditions. It is a system built over more than a decade of working with students on five continents, and every phase exists because a student once needed exactly that.
What distinguishes Marton’s sessions is that every plan is built backward from the student’s test date, sequenced to peak at the right moment. He is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and has worked with students from the US, Europe, Latin America, and Asia—bringing genuine cross-cultural range to every session. His style is disciplined and encouraging; students who arrive uncertain tend to leave not just with better scores, but with increased self-esteem and a clearer sense of their potential.
We’ll help match students and families with the right support for their goals.
