Patient and Knowledge Tutor

Mark helped me prepare for my Python finals. Before working with him, I was on the verge of being dropped from my major because of my low midterm scores. Mark guided me through every concept I struggled with, tested my understanding, and made sure I felt confident going into my final. Thanks to his tutoring, I ended up passing my final with an A. I’m incredibly grateful for his help.

Knowledgeable and Funny Tutor

I had a great session with Mark! He was able to breakdown a particularly tough Python concept that I had been struggling with by bringing in real world examples! He was funny and kind and helped me feel more secure in my knowledge of Python! I will definitely reach out to Mark again if I need assistance with Python and recommend that you do the same! Thank you for all the help, Mark! I
