This educator is working to fill the teacher shortage in schools, providing opportunity for Black males.
Meet Marvin Dutton, a certified teacher and the founder of Marvin’s Education Services. His dedication to equipping students and educators with educational strategies and resources has turned his company into one of the leading substitute teaching agencies in the Tri-State Area.

Dutton is passionate about teaching. He believes that despite being viewed as a low-paying hard labor job, there are many ways to grow in a school community. The current teacher shortage has created leverage for educators to demand higher salaries and more benefits. Schools are now paying signing bonuses and investing in their teachers’ college careers.

Marvin graduated in the top 10% of his class at Frankford High School, and went on to study at Albright College and Penn State Abington, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychological and Social Sciences. He then received his Master’s Degree from Lincoln University in Education with a concentration in Elementary Education, and became a certified teacher.

Spending years in education gave Dutton a better understanding of what was missing when it came to providing students with the best possible education. Oftentimes, public school teachers battle with low school budgets that force them into footing the bill to resource their classrooms. His staffing agency works to combat these issues by serving as a bridge between teachers and school administrations.

In launching Marvin’s Education Services, the award-winning educator has worked tirelessly to increase academic skills by equipping students with educational strategies through after-school programs, tutoring, and educational products like his Black History flash cards. His After School and Summer Program has been a safe place for many students over the years, and he has also provided a free AAU Basketball experience to a group of students from 1st grade to 8th grade.

In the wake of the global pandemic, Dutton has geared more efforts toward remote learning and one-on-one tutoring programs, as well as a free summer basketball camp in partnership with Philadelphia’s Councilman at Large Isaiah Thomas. When it comes to expanding the M.E.S. service line to Atlanta and Miami, he is aiming to work with more daycare centers and charter schools.

Marvin Dutton is committed to providing students with the best possible education. Through his staffing agency, he is working to combat the national teacher shortage and tackle the issues public school teachers face. He is expanding his services to the Atlanta and Miami markets, and doing all he can to maximize the learning experience in the classroom.
