Bio

Most of my tutoring has been to local high school students who were preparing for the AP Latin exam or needed help with essay writing. Given the outbreak of COVID19, I am moving all my tutoring online and expanding my willingness to work with more students. I understand there is a financial, logistical and even emotional burden on parents who are now tasked with ensuring that their children don’t fall behind during this crisis.

Most of my tutoring has been to local high school students who were preparing for the AP Latin exam or needed help with essay writing. Given the outbreak of COVID19, I am moving all my tutoring online and expanding my willingness to work with more students. I understand there is a financial, logistical and even emotional burden on parents who are now tasked with ensuring that their children don’t fall behind during this crisis. I have extensive experience working with student of all ages online and I find most students transition to it effortlessly.

Some schools in different states are meeting, but in Massachusetts all school has been canceled. Whatever your situation, I will work with you. During this time of crisis, it imperative that we work together and pull through as a society. I am committed to helping any parent who seeks me out. I am willing to work out payment and scheduling arrangements. I have three young children, I home school and I am comfortable implementing different curricula in different learning settings. Moreover, I have worked extensively in the past with elementary, middle school and even high school students in a variety of academic disciplines. Reach out to me if you have any questions.

Homeschool

As a home school parent myself, I understand the importance of providing a quality education to children of all ages and, as a result, I remain involved with several local home school associations. As a parent, I strive to provide my writing, math and classical language skills to other home school families. Due to my firsthand experience as a home schooling parent, I feel confident that together we can work to create curriculum which is tailored to your child's individual strengths and needs. I really enjoy working with home school students since I can always count on parental involvement in the education process. I look forward to working with you to see your child succeed today!

Special Needs

ADHD

ADHD

As someone who struggled with ADD/ADHD early in life, I know that students can feel frustrated when they fall behind academically while their peers succeed. As a parent, I know that ADD/ADHD student are often talented and, yet can fall behind in the classroom. As a teacher, I have successfully worked with many students who struggle academically and who need special attention because of learning disabilities. As a Wyzant tutor, I believe that it is essential to establish a working relationship with both students as well as parents in order to ensure that the students focused. When I work with students who have been diagnosed with ADHD, I like to begin by assessing academic needs and learning styles in order to create a tutoring program tailored for each individual student. I firmly believe that students who suffer from ADHD are intellectually gifted and benefit immensely from one on one tutoring and individualized lessons plans. As an educator and a homeschool parent, I have extensive experience working with and helping to improve the grades of students who struggle with ADHD through personalized intervention techniques.

Life Saver!

Highly knowledgable and extremely patient! My son was under a lot of pressure with deadlines looming and feeling sick and Mark was his guiding light in the darknes. We are very grateful for his insight and helping us through when my son was in panic mode and couldn't think straight,

Eileen, 2 lessons with Mark

Great first lesson

My son (5th Grader) had his first lesson with Mark. Mark gave him essay writing tips and worked with him on drafting an essay with a topic my son chose. I can tell the improvement from the past essay right away. Mark is very patient and is responsive when I reach out to him with questions. Thank you, Mark!

Yanming, 1 lesson with Mark

Patient, knowledgeable, invested in continued success.

From overhearing the tutoring lesson with my child I can tell that Mark is not in it as a one-time deal, but rather plans ahead and discusses the importance of continuing to study over the summer break. He cares about continued success.

Johanna, 2 lessons with Mark

Very engaging, knowledgeable, and interesting

Mark taught about the brain and nervous system. He used creative approach to understanding the topic. He obviously spent time preparing the lesson and as always was enthusiastic about teaching.
