serving Chicago, IL

Organizational theory, management strategy, and human capital development aren't just textbook topics for Zac — they're the core of his Vanderbilt degree.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

Rated 5.0 by students.

He approaches each course by identifying the analytical framework the professor is testing and drilling that specifically.

Quantitative modeling shows up in nearly every college business course, from finance to operations management, and Mark's engineering background makes him the right person to demystify it.

His cross-disciplinary training means he can connect business theory to the math and science driving it.

Introductory college business courses often overwhelm students with terminology — market segmentation, supply chain logistics, managerial accounting — before they've built a framework to connect it all.
