Nancy J. from Escondido, CA Mark did an excellent job with my son reviewing for a quiz and helping him solve the problems. He gives good feedback to the parents also.

Bonnie M. from Vista, CA Mark worked with an adult ESL student on the skills needed to pass the difficult TOEFL test, a requirement for graduation at Tech de Monterrey. He established immediate rapport, using humor and his ability to converse in the student's native language. His knowledge of the test requirements and his skills as a grammarian were evident immediately, and not one precious moment was wasted during the sessions. His ability to explain concepts in Spanish and relating the two languages made a real impact in the time at which new concepts were absorbed. The student's confidence was built tremendously through the positive input given by this personable, and talented tutor. We were so fortunate to have found Mark!

Eli B. from San Diego, CA Mark is very good at explaining how two seemingly different problems can be solved the exact same way. He's good at showing how to solve a problem the fastest way possible avoiding calculator use when not necessary. Mark is very energetic and patient and he's good at not only teaching how to solve a problem, but to use prior knowledge and apply it to different problems.

Sheree A. from Oceanside, CA Thank you Mark! I am so impressed how you connected with my son. He has in the past been resistant to tutoring, but sure seems happy with your instruction. Thanks again!

ZOE J. from San Marcos, CA Mark is a very well rounded and great tutor that knows the in's and out's of the SAT and ACT. His teachings and simplistic ideas for math make the math section more doable and easier for the students. His passion and commitment for the students to succeed is through the roof. He doesn't let the students get lazy and is pushing them to do their very best. Tutoring sessions are never boring because he keeps the students entertained and always working. Mark is an awesome tutor that will accommodate every student's needs and does his very best to achieve their ultimate goal. 9/18/13 Mark has done a great job preparing my son for his upcoming ACT Test Saturday, 9/21/13. They both have worked hard over the past month and I'm confident his score will reflect their efforts! We will continue to utilize Mark's tutoring talents to achieve his goals.

Veronica Z. from San Diego, CA Mark has been an excellent tutor for my son, he has been patient, and most of all encouraging. His enthusiasm for learning and making things "easy" has been very beneficial. He has also been very accessible. My son has a fantastic memory, and had memorized his way through school. Mark is now helping him to understand "why" things are the way they are in Math. Now that is learning!!!

Austin R. from San Diego, CA Mark is a wonderful tutor for all aspects of the SAT. I was initially looking for a SAT Math tutor only but ended up using his skills to help me improve for the entire SAT. I will miss being tutored by him and know my score will reflect the effort he put into our sessions. I highly recommend selecting Mark as your tutor! You will not be disappointed!

Ray W. from Temecula, CA Mark is a great tutor who is very positive and works well with teenagers. We recommend him to anyone who is looking for help -- we are grateful for his time and commitment!

Leslie P. from Encinitas, CA Mark made such a difference for us. In a short amount of time he had my son able to pass the Mira Costa Algebra Placement exam the first time. He saw other tutors but having someone relaxed who made him feel capable and confident made all the difference. It's not just about the content, it's about being motivated to keep going and that's what Mark brings to the table. We'll definitely use him again for the upcoming algebra class.

Karen C. from Vista, CA Mark was great. He helped prepare my son to take the SAT for the first time. Mark really connected with my son and kept him motivated. I would highly recommend Mark!

Anita C. from Encinitas, CA Mark works really well with my 13 year old son for Honors Algebra. He knows how to explain concepts and methods of solving the problems in a way that makes the subject interesting.

Carolyn P. from Fallbrook, CA Mark has been extremely encouraging in helping my daughter to better her ACT score. He takes much of the mystique out of the test which allows for more relaxed test taking. We are hopeful that this will translate into better scores!

Genesis H. from Lake Elsinore, CA Mark has worked with my daughter and her two friends to prepare for their calculus exams. Their teacher told them quite openly at the beginning of the year that she would not teach them the material but will expect them to figure the work out for themselves. After working with Mark, these girls' eyes were opened and they all clear on all of their math, acing their final semester exam. Mark connected with the girls very well, added a little humor, and made them feel comfortable. He knows his subject extremely well and most importantly, he broke it down for them so that they almost knew it as well as he did by the time they left. I would recommend to anyone with a challenge.

Lane S. from Carlsbad, CA This was our first time using a tutor so we were a little unsure what to expect. Mark was prompt and easy to talk to. My son seemed to understand the lesson and appreciated Mark's willingness to patiently explain the basic concepts of Geometry. Of course we will need to see how our son can now apply these concepts to his work. I'm hoping that there will be a little less apprehension and a lot more understanding.

John R. from Fallbrook, CA My son enjoys learning geometry with Mark. At the completion of his lesson he is interested in scheduling the next lesson. Very positive experience.

Rhonda B. from Encinitas, CA It was great to have Mark back after the summer break. My daughter requested him because of his great ability to help her understand and his enthusiasm!!

Lynn E. from San Marcos, CA Engaged Mark's services for remedial work in prep for SAT. He quickly established a rapport with our grandson which permitted correction of the existing blocks promptly. We highly recommend him.

Dana H. from Carlsbad, CA Mark has been very helpful in preparing my daughter for the SAT! He has a lot of test taking strategies and she is feeling more confident about it now.
