"Hi, I’m Mark. I work with students who feel stuck in advanced mathematics, computer science, or AI and want to truly understand the material — not just get through assignments.

I hold Master’s degrees in Applied Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science & Engineering, with 20+ years of professional experience as a software engineer working with algorithms, data structures, and applied mathematics.

I'm also certified by Vanderbilt University in AI, machine learning, prompt engineering, and AI-driven software development. My students range from:

📘 High schoolers preparing for AP STEM courses or SAT/GRE

🎓 College students in technical majors

👨‍💻 Adult learners transitioning into software engineering or AI roles

I offer long-term academic support, exam/interview prep, and focused help with topics like calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, data structures, and machine learning.

My teaching style emphasizes clarity, structured reasoning, and real understanding — not memorization. I break down complex ideas into manageable steps, and students often tell me things finally “click” because I adjust explanations until they make sense.

Whether you’re prepping for an exam, struggling with a concept, or building skills for your career, I’ll help you gain confidence, independence, and real problem-solving ability." less...
