"Hi, I’m Mark. I hold dual Master’s degrees in Applied Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science & Engineering, and I’ve spent more than 20 years solving real-world problems as a software engineer. I’m also Vanderbilt-certified in Generative AI Prompt Engineering, AI Software Engineering, and AI Data Analysis.

I tutor a wide range of math and programming subjects, from high-school Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus through college-level Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, and Python programming. My approach focuses on clarity, structure, and building real understanding—not memorization. Students often tell me that concepts finally “click” because I break things down step-by-step and connect ideas to simple, intuitive reasoning.

I’ve worked with learners of all levels: high-school students, college students, adult learners, and those preparing for STEM majors. Whether you’re stuck on a single homework problem or preparing for a major exam, I adjust the pace and teaching style to match your needs.

My background also allows me to help students who want to bridge math and programming—whether that’s Python for beginners, algorithm fundamentals, data analysis skills, or connecting math concepts to computer science coursework.

If you’re looking for patient, clear, and professional support in math or programming, I’d be glad to help you build confidence and succeed. Let’s get started." less...
