About Mark


Bio

I love teaching physics and was fortunate to have done so for over 20 years. This includes academic physics, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C and college physics. I started the physics program at Dawson High School in Pearland, which gave me the opportunity to shape the way physics is taught at Pearland ISD, with an emphasis on conceptual understanding rather than just rote memorization. I was recognized as the Region IV (Houston area) Teacher of the Year in 2015. Now that I have...

I love teaching physics and was fortunate to have done so for over 20 years. This includes academic physics, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C and college physics. I started the physics program at Dawson High School in Pearland, which gave me the opportunity to shape the way physics is taught at Pearland ISD, with an emphasis on conceptual understanding rather than just rote memorization. I was recognized as the Region IV (Houston area) Teacher of the Year in 2015. Now that I have retired from teaching, I'm ready to help you or your child achieve greater success in physics.

Here is some background information about me. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Texas, 1983. I was a Marine Corps intelligence officer for 4 years. After leaving the Marines, I studied physics as a graduate student at Rice University in 1987. Once I realized that my passion was more for teaching than research, I left Rice and attended classes at the University of Houston, where I earned a Master of Education in Secondary Education in 1990.

Physics

I have a Bachelor of Science in Physics degree from the University of Texas, and a Master of Education degree from the University of Houston. I taught physics for 20 years, with experience at both the high school and college levels. I use research-based approaches to physics instruction, including the inquiry methods emphasized on many standardized tests such as AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, and AP Physics C.

Excellent lesson

Mark taught me how to do power, and energy problems for physics and it really helped. We went into detail on how to solve problems, learned definitions and equations, and how to apply them. Mark did a great job of explaining concepts as well, it was overall a very helpful session.

Excellent!!

Mark is an awesome tutor. My son is learning so much from him (AP Physics). He challenges my son to look at the problems from all sides and to think beyond what is being asked. He explains the content very clearly and he makes sure that my son understands everything. It is clear that Mark not only loves physics and knows it inside and out, but he can easily teach it to students so they can understand everything.

Knowledgeable

My granddaughter had different tutors on different subjects before. Mark is the first tutor, she said he is good. He is very flexible. His canceled time frame is reasonable, strongly recommend him.
