Marceline Madigan
Master of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education K-9
Marceline Madigan graduated from the University of Michigan and earned a Masters in Education, grades K-9. Her graduate work included internships at Montessori, progressive, and traditional schools and she has been working with families since 2009. The bulk of her teaching and tutoring experience is with kindergarten through third grade students, including a year as a homeschool teacher for kindergarten and first grade students at the start of the COVID 19 pandemic. After teaching in one of Chicago’s premier private schools and a prestigious suburban public school, Mrs. Madigan was hired as a full-time academic coach for a family with three children in both middle and high school. All three students earned their way into ivy-league and prestigious schools around the nation. In 2021, Mrs. Madigan moved to Lakeway, Texas with her husband Sean and toddler, Olive Ann. When Mrs. Madigan is not tutoring, she and her family can often be found playing outdoors and enjoying the Rough Hollow community together.

“Marcy has worked to develop a warm and engaging environment that nurtures the academic and emotional needs of her students. Her expertise in the field of education paired with her loving and welcoming demeanor help to create a space where all children can flourish. Her art classes have been a family favorite and our son will ask repeatedly when he can return. The patience and love she exhibits in helping students express themselves creatively is unmatched. Marcy is truly a bright light and blessing to the families in our community. “
Nathan - Age 6 - 1st Grade
“Learning with Mrs. Madigan is fun! She helps you learn and is a great teacher because she explains things to little kids easier. She’s the most fun teacher in the world!“
Dana B - Rough Hollow Resident
“Since beginning with Ms. Madigan, I have seen my children make leaps in their learning, with an added boost to their self-confidence. She even took the initiative to design individual lesson plans and goals tailored to each child, while keeping in mind the specific tools utilized in their public school classrooms. Ms. Madigan is clearly adept at teaching children who need extra help, as well as those excelling beyond grade level who are in need of an extra challenge. And best of all, she has managed to make learning so much fun that they beg to go back!”
Hope B - Rough Hollow Resident
“We sought Marcy's tutoring services after COVID, an across state move and a fragmented 1st grade year contributed to a disruption and disillusioned start to Arden's education journey. Marcy's experience, creativity and agility has contributed to a noticeable difference in Arden's enthusiasm for learning. She is building stamina and fluency in reading and is evolving into a curious and critical learner. Arden cherishes her time with Marcy.”
Avigail K - Rough Hollow Resident
“My daughter loves Marcy’s class, she is having so much fun while learning and being challenged. On our way back home she keeps saying that she wants more!”
