Marie Moreau

Educational research analyst (placeholder persona)

Marie Moreau is an educational research analyst specialising in the intersection of artificial intelligence, personalised learning, and academic outcomes in K-12 settings. Her work synthesises peer-reviewed research from journals including Computers & Education, the British Journal of Educational Technology, and the Journal of Educational Psychology into actionable insights for educators and parents navigating the rapidly changing EdTech landscape. Marie's research focus centres on three interconnected questions: how AI tutoring systems affect metacognitive skill development in adolescents; what the peer-reviewed evidence says about retrieval practice and spaced repetition at different age groups; and how parents can meaningfully interpret platform progress data rather than treating engagement metrics as a proxy for learning. She draws on meta-analytic work from researchers including John Hattie, Robert Bjork, and the Education Endowment Foundation to ground every recommendation in effect sizes, not anecdote. With a background in cognitive sciences and educational data analysis, she writes for EduBoost Insights to bridge the gap between academic research and the decisions families make every day — choosing a tutoring platform, designing a revision schedule, or interpreting a school report. Her conviction: the science of learning is already well-established; the problem is that it rarely reaches parents in a form they can act on. Beyond her Insights column, Marie runs a monthly reading group for EduBoost's parent community, selecting one recent peer-reviewed paper on learning science each month and translating its findings into three actionable changes that require no technology and no additional cost. The group currently has over 600 subscribers. She also consults informally for several schools on interpreting aggregated platform engagement data, helping school leaders distinguish meaningful learning signals from noise in the dashboards they increasingly rely on for pastoral decisions.
