Hi, we’re Marker!

We are a team of psychologists, teachers, parents and empathetic experts who have all personally been touched by or have had our lives permanently affected by a learning disability.

Why we founded Marker

Growing up with learning disabilities, we know firsthand how life-changing the right support can be. At one point, our teachers doubted we’d even graduate high school. But thanks to the dedication of incredible evaluators, teachers, and our parents, we received the diagnoses and support that changed our trajectories forever—leading us from struggling students to graduates of Yale and Stanford and, ultimately, to creating Marker Learning.

We built Marker because we believe every student deserves the same opportunities that we had. Yet we know that school evaluation teams are stretched thin, balancing limited resources, growing caseloads, and administrative burdens. Our mission is to empower special education departments with tools that make evaluations more efficient, accessible, and high-quality so they can focus on what matters most: identifying students’ needs and unlocking their potential.

Together, let’s ensure every child gets the support they need to thrive.

Having struggled in school, teachers thought we'd be lucky to graduate, and we proved them wrong. We were fortunate enough to be tested privately, but not without paying thousands of dollars.

With our dyslexia and ADHD diagnosed, our confidence soared. We had the tools to understand how we learn best and the belief in ourselves to thrive in the classroom.  We went on to study at Yale and Stanford and become entrepreneurs.

We're living proof that when you understand yourself and how you learn best, the sky's the limit. Your child deserves to be the best they can be. Together, let's unlock their remarkable potential.
