About Mark


Bio

I enjoy teaching and mentoring and have been tutoring part-time for roughly seven years, with 2.5 years as an undergraduate at UTSA and 4.5 years as a Ph.D. student at UT Austin. I'm a theoretical physicist with four published papers, and I'm about a year away from completing my Ph.D. Mostly I'm interested in quantum field theory, gravity, and black holes, and you're welcome to ask me about those. I have also co-founded a successful mentorship program called the Physics DRP at UT Austin....

I enjoy teaching and mentoring and have been tutoring part-time for roughly seven years, with 2.5 years as an undergraduate at UTSA and 4.5 years as a Ph.D. student at UT Austin. I'm a theoretical physicist with four published papers, and I'm about a year away from completing my Ph.D. Mostly I'm interested in quantum field theory, gravity, and black holes, and you're welcome to ask me about those. I have also co-founded a successful mentorship program called the Physics DRP at UT Austin.

As an undergraduate, I realized how much I enjoy teaching after I applied for the university's tutoring program. That was a delightful time, and I won an award for my work there. I then graduated with dual degrees in mathematics and physics, with a minor in astrophysics. Later, as a Ph.D. student, I thought it would be fun to pass the time during the pandemic by tutoring online through Wyzant. Now I do most of my tutoring through Wyzant, and I can help with mathematics, physics, and astrophysics/astronomy courses. I'm also an experienced AP and IB physics tutor and have provided consulting for business executives through Wyzant.

Please feel free to contact me to schedule a session. I'm patient and friendly and have lots of experience working with people trying to learn new things. There's nothing wrong with seeking help when you need it. In fact, I sought out tutoring while working toward my undergraduate degree.

Always ready to answer any questions

We can talk about the text book, or any deep questions that trouble me about how to think about nature.

Good job!

Helped me understand my Astronomy assignment and I did great on my test !!!!! Thank you for the help highly recommended for anyone that’s needs help with Astronomy

Joy, 1 lesson with Mark

Good coach rather than answer giver

We reviewed physics material from collisions to torque and he explained the connections between equations and concepts very well. My test date is in 2 days and we met yesterday and I feel a million times more prepared now.
