I am a TJHSS&T graduate with a degree in Mathematics (minor in Chemistry and extensive course work in Physics) from Virginia Tech, and a homeschooling father whose children who test above the 90th percentile. I scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT and scored five out of five on the Advanced Placement tests for both Calculus and Chemistry.
I help children, teens, and adults prepare for challenging work, supplement class instruction, and review for tests. Most of my students...

Mark is an excellent, knowledgable and patient tutor
Mark is an excellent tutor. He encourages our son to work through to the answers by himself while giving him help when needed without being overbearing. Mark is willing to take the time to work through the process of each problem to make sure the student understands. Our son's grades have risen and he has become more confident in class. We are very pleased with Mark's performance and would highly recommend him as a tutor.

Grades went up up up!
Mark has been tutoring our son in AP calculus and chemistry... we saw an immediate result in his grades which continue to improve, along with our son’s self-confidence and enjoyment of the classes. Mark is a great match for our son, keep things light and real while getting the job done. Mark is flexible, reliable and easy to work with... and most importantly has removed some of the stress from our son’s junior year of high school!

Great, Focused Tutoring
Mark has a good grasp on a wide range of math topics and is able to explain complex topics in an approachable manner. Mark helped my son understand some pre-calculus topics he has been struggling with and then helped him build on that understanding.

Excellent tutor
Mark was a great tutor with my daughter today. He was patient and explained difficult topics in a easy to understand way. We had initially scheduled a Chemistry tutoring session, but switched to Algebra II at the last minute. Thank you for your flexibility!

Mark is Amazing!
Mark is amazing! My class has not officially started; however, Mark is preparing me for the first day of class! He went out of his way to prepare lessons that will help me during the semester.

Engineering Calculus compressed to a month as a summer class.
Mark has a clear understanding of the principles needed for my son's then upcoming Calculus test. He was able to teach him the foundation underlying the lessons in the class allowing for better understanding of the material. The class itself moves rapidly, 3 hours every day and my son missed 6 hours of class attending a wedding. Mark is catching him up nicely!

Extremely knowledgeable in Calculas II
My son took a 5 week summer Calculas II class. We tried a couple of tutors before Mark, and my son didn't feel they could answer the questions quick enough. Mark definitely knew Calculas II and could always help him. Since it was a very short time frame, we were under pressure to find a tutor fast. Mark was very flexible (and affordable) with his time. Give him a try; he's worth it!

Above & Beyond.
My daughter asked for assistance with Math and Science specifically. Mark is superb in assisting her in those areas. Additionally, my daughter will sometimes throw in another subject and Mark is always willing to assist with those subjects as well.
