Excellent Calc tutor and very patient

Mark is an excellent tutor who is capable of making complicated topics seem very easy. I was having a lot of difficulty with my college Calculus 2 class until I started meeting with him for lessons. The lessons helped me understand the new topics easily and he also patiently helped me to correct any problems I was still having from Algebra,Trig, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. After only a few tutoring sessions I went from being completely lost to solving almost all problems with ease and doing really well in my Calculus 2 course. If you are looking to do well in any math course I strongly recommend working with Mark. He will make even complicated college level courses in Calculus seem like a piece of cake.

Tutor responded:

Thanks Brian. It was a pleasure working with you. Best of luck this year.

Knowledgeable and patient

In just the first tutor session, my son who has been struggling and failing tests, got a 92 on his quiz. Mark is patient and kind while explaining details of how to solve the problems.

Colleen, 9 lessons with Mark

Knowledable

Mark is very knowledgeable and was able to help me with the review of the content easily. He went over ways to do the content to help me understand the beginning contents. Good first lesson!

Janine, 12 lessons with Mark

Mark is wonderful

My son really enjoys working with Mark. He is an absolute subject matter expert, and does an excellent job TEACHING my son how to work through his calculus work. We've worked with several tutors - my son that Mark is by far the best.

Keith, 4 lessons with Mark

one of the best

Mark worked well with my daughter. Had lots of patients and explained everything in a way that my daughter was able to understand. We love him!! SHE PASSED HER REGENTS. Thank you!!

My son after 1 lesson learned so much from Mark. What a kind and patient teacher. Looking forward to some more lessons. He really has a way of getting through obstacles.

Robyn, 6 lessons with Mark

very knowledgeable. patient and kind

We reviewed for a test. The topics of discussion included: evaluating an algebraic expression, simplifying algebraic expressions by using the distributive law and by combining like terms, percent problems, solving linear inequalities, solving a literal equation for one variable in terms of the others, scientific notation, and calculating the mean, median, and mode of a data set

ROYISHA, 3 lessons with Mark

Extremely patient and knowledgeable

My son, Matthew had really enjoyed his tutoring sessions with Mark. He has gained a better understanding of the mathematical concepts and equations because of how Mark explains it to him. Mark is also very helpful with his Algebra Regents preparation. Mark is a fantastic tutor!
