Bio

I have a Sc. B. degree in Applied Math / Economics from Brown University. I recently retired from teaching, having taught for 20 years- most of them at Concord Academy in MA, an independent college-prep school. My experience is mostly with high schoolers, though I have tutored some college students in statistics and multi-variable calculus.

I have a Sc. B. degree in Applied Math / Economics from Brown University. I recently retired from teaching, having taught for 20 years- most of them at Concord Academy in MA, an independent college-prep school. My experience is mostly with high schoolers, though I have tutored some college students in statistics and multi-variable calculus.

I have taught high school for 20 years, teaching all levels of high-school and some college-level math, as well as economics. I have had much experience working one-on-one with my students and have also done some tutoring of people who were not in my classes.

I emphasize deep understanding and problem-solving skills and try to make the material intuitive to students. My experience clearly indicates that confidence is essential, so I work carefully to help my students become more confident in their abilities.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have taught algebra 2 many times-- at the standard and the honors level. I have written a 300-page workbook on the subject that I used in my classes. Algebra 2 is a very important class, as it provides the foundation for much of calculus.
Calculus

Calculus

I've taught calculus for over 20 years, including introductory level classes, advanced placement AB- and BC-level classes, and multivariate and vector calculus classes. Calculus is amazing and I work with my students to grasp and appreciate the analytical techniques, the underlying concepts, and ways to apply the material to challenging and unfamiliar problems.
Geometry

Geometry

I have taught geometry many many times and I love it! I have written a 650-page workbook for the class that my former school uses, and a few other local schools use parts or all of it as well.
Microeconomics

Microeconomics

I taught economics at the high school level for about 15 years. Before teaching, I worked in the investment management industry and used economics daily. I was also an economics/math major in college.
Precalculus

Precalculus

In my twenty years of teaching high school math, I have taught precalculus numerous times and have even written precalculus books that my students have used to learn function, statistics, trigonometry, and limits.
Statistics

Statistics

I have two decade's experience teaching stats and other math at the high school level. I have taught AP Statistics and similar classes numerous times.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have taught trigonometry numerous times, at both the standard and honors level. I have written 300-page workbooks that I used in my classes, and I am very familiar with the flow of the course. While trig can be challenging, it builds important problem-solving skills!

great teacher

Mark was very patient and explained geometry to my son, a sophomore in high schools in a way he could understand and build on. Impressive.

The Best tutor for Calculus BC and Pre-Calculus

Mark has been tutoring my high school son over the past year on AP Calculus BC. This is a hard subject but we are fortunate to have Mark working along with my son. Mark is very good at explaining the difficult concepts in Calculus BC and application of those concepts in problem solving. My son felt good about his AP Calculus BC exam that he just took two days ago and he is very grateful for Mark’s lessons over the past year. Mark knows high school boys well and he also cares a lot about his students. We are very lucky to find Mark at Wyzant. Mark is simply the best.

Best professor !!!

He taught me some concepts of microeconomics for my final . But it is like he read my other professor's mind , he used the same examples and explained them better. His way of teaching is super entertaining and he was in a very good mood . He answered all the questions i had .I am definitely going to book more sessions with him .
