I’m Markos, and I am a student at Drexel University studying Biological Sciences. Throughout my academic career, I’ve always admired professors who were passionate about their subjects and genuinely cared about their students. I bring this approach to my tutoring sessions, striving to engage students fully and ensure they feel supported throughout the learning process.

With 4 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in math and science, including calculus, algebra 2, pre-calculus, pre-algebra, biology, and chemistry. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students of varying abilities, which has reinforced the importance of tailoring my lessons to fit each student’s unique learning style. I believe in asking thoughtful questions to understand how my students approach problems and adjusting my teaching to help them overcome challenges.

One of the key lessons I’ve learned is that sometimes a student may be missing just one fundamental skill that, once uncovered, can unlock their potential to move forward. I am patient and dedicated to ensuring that each student builds a solid foundation and a deep understanding of the material. By focusing on understanding the "why" behind concepts, I help my students gain both confidence and mastery in their subjects.

If you're looking for a tutor committed to making learning a rewarding and engaging experience, please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can help your student achieve their academic goals.

The best tutor

Markos is more than a tutor. He is an exceptional, patient and thoughtful teacher. He clearly has a passion for chemistry and people. He's able to listen, adapt and make challenging concepts accessible to all learners. He's also an excellent communicator in every way. All I can say is I wish there were more teachers like him in the world. We're grateful to have connected with him.
