Hi, my name is Marcus and I'm currently a secondary school teacher with a focus in math and statistics. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I have completed graduate work in math and statistics. I also have a strong background in computers and programming, and am familiar with a variety of programming languages. I'm familiar with most levels of mathematics, up to and including Calculus 2, and I have advanced knowledge of several suites of statistical software, including R, SPSS, SAS, and Stata.

I have over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience, and have worked with elementary students through graduate students. I strive to make learning and understanding math an enjoyable experience by emphasizing the practical nature of concepts, and providing real-world examples of math in our everyday lives. My goal is for each student to engage with the content, with my help, so that they can gain a comprehensive understanding of the material.

Good guy! Full of knowledge

Patience! Statistics is a tough subject. Marcus can help. We met for a long learning session and it was totally worth the effort. I’m glad to know Marcus is there to assist when someone needs a little academic boost.

Knowledgeable

Marcus helps with my homework assignments so it is easier to complete them. I am having a great deal of trouble in this statistics class and he explains everything beautifully.

Marcus was super helpful and knowledgeable. He didn't just solve my problem, but also explained the reasoning really well. Would recommend for anyone who needs help with statistics or R

Ruthless and Uncaring. Students Beware!

I experienced a technical issue with my computer when I logged in to begin a tutoring session with Marcus. I messaged him immediately that I did not have audio working. He proceeded to bill me a fee equaling more than the hourly tutoring session he charges. He declined to work with me with my schedule and was extremely difficult to communicate with and uncaring about my computer issues or me.

Tutor responded:

Student was billed a cancellation fee in accordance with published policies equal to the scheduled session fee. Due to the circumstances, I did offer to waive the fee by offering a replacement session free of charge. However, I was unavailable the day that the student requested and they declined to reschedule for a day that I was available.

Great teacher!

Amazing teacher for R and time series! Highly recommend for any beginner student! We were able to go over an assignment and it was a success!

the best EVER

we reviewed an article that was published in the journal of Nutrition titled, "Maternal and Child Dietary Diversity are associated in Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Ethiopia." Marcus helped me answer questions regarding it's multivariate logistic regression, independent variables, dependent variable and covariates.

Carolyn, 19 lessons with Marcus

Most excellent, knowledgeable and patient tutor

We worked on the one way ANOVA and chi-square. Marcus is very knowledgeable, made a confusing subject more straightforward, and alleviated my fears. Top-notch tutor!

Carrie, 6 lessons with Marcus

Patient and Thorough

Marcus helped me with my Stats and Stata homework on a last minute request. I have been putting off my homework because these two topics make me feel overwhelmed and anxious. Marcus was patient and thorough in teaching both topics to me on a step by step process (which I need) and answered all of my questions and concerns. I highly recommend him to anyone.
