Electrical EngineerAbout Mark
I have been living Math and Science all my life. My mother was a math teacher, and inspired and challenged me at an early age. In my 43-year career with NASA, I developed a broad range of technical skills, with emphasis on physics, engineering, and the supporting math. Outside of my work, I have always had relevant hobbies--ranging from math

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Geometry
I have enjoyed geometry as long as I can remember. My mother was a math teacher, and inspired me to excel in all of my courses. My tutoring approach emphasizes real-world examples and visualization techniques to help students relate to problems.
Photography
I have been an amateur photographer all my life. I have worked with a wide variety of cameras, including film and digital, and I have extensive experience in darkroom work and in digital processing and printing.
My career with NASA centered on camera systems for space missions, beginning with the first mission to Mercury in 1973.
Through my hobby and work experience, I have lots of practical experience backed up by a comprehensive understanding of the physics.
Physics
My formal training is in Electrical Engineering, with an earlier major in mechanical engineering. In my career at NASA, I worked on many systems which required an advanced understanding of Physics, including optical systems, solid-state electronic devices, and orbital mechanics.
My tutoring approach emphasizes the understanding of physical systems using real-world examples.
