About Mark


Bio

My background is mathematical physics (PhD). I also have a strong background in mathematics. I have been tutoring mathematics and physics for the past 15 years at all levels and have worked as an adjunct professor in these subjects for the last few years.

Since every student is different, I try to “customize” my approach to meet the individual needs of the student.

I think it is important to spend a lot of the sessions working with students to help them develop strategies for solving problems.

I like to make learning math and physics fun for the students I tutor, giving them examples to which they can relate. My goal is to get them excited about studying these subjects.

I have experience tutoring all levels of math up to Calculus, and physics at both the high school and introductory college level.

I have a PhD in Mathematical Physics. I have been tutoring for over 15 years at all levels of physics (and mathematics). Since every student is different, I try to “customize” my approach to meet the individual needs of the student. I think it is important to spend a lot of the sessions working with students to help them develop strategies for solving problems. At the same time, if needed, we discuss the theory that is required.

Differential Equations,

Differential Equations

My background is mathematical physics, especially quantum physics. I am familiar with solving differential equations.
Linear Algebra,

Linear Algebra

I have been tutoring linear algebra (and other subjects in math) for the last twelve years. In addition I used linear algebra frequently during my graduate studies in mathematical physics. As an undergraduate with a major in math, linear algebra was a required course.

Knowledgeable and patient

My son really enjoyed leaning from Mark. He broke the topic into manageable bits and was patient and make the topic easy to understand. We will call Mark again for future physics needs.

Excellent Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Prof. Bergman tutored my daughter in mechanics (Physics). He explained the concepts quickly yet thoroughly, and when my daughter was confused on a concept he was willing to go more into detail. My daughter believes she better understands and can work through the problems now. -- May

very good

Very helpful to Children, particularly approach. Methods, methodologies, techniques, and gauging pupil level is really good. Looking forward successful for future classes

Great start; knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Physics

Very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. He gave a history of physics and calculus and discussed the benefit of learning in useful context. My daughter felt good about it coming out. Very flexible -- didn't need a regular schedule, but was happy to be on call as needed.

Amazing Calculus Teacher

Mr. Mark is an amazing teacher, his explanation of difficult topics is very easy to understand and he spends enough time till I actually get the concept. I feel that I can tackle calculus better with his help!! Thank you.

Helpful AP Physics Tutoring

Thank you for working with my son. He understood the concepts and material he is learning better after working with you. He felt more confident as well. We will definitely be contacting you in future for further tutoring as he was glad you knew the course very well to help him through it.

Very helpful

He helped me understand some concepts I've been struggling with for a while and made things a lot clearer. I really appreciated his help.

Mark is an excellent teacher.

Mark is an excellent teacher. Not only does he explain the subject matter, he asks students question that prompt students to solve themselves, unlike other tutors who explained the problem by solving it his/herself. In addition, he can go beyond what students need to learn - he gives examples of concepts to real life application and advice to young generation.

Great instructor

Mark has really helped me learn the beginning of Differential Equations, has pointed out information that I haven't learned in class. Applies lesson to real world.

Marnie, 1 lesson with Mark

All around great guy

All around Mark was one of the best tutors I could ask for. Not only was he an excellent tutor but he was really easy to get in touch with and would drop anything to help a student in need. He has a good sense of humor which makes the tutoring session more enjoyable and not so tense and serious while still being effective. After all the private tutors I've been through I would have to say he was one of the best and would use him again without a doubt in my mind.
