About Me

After high school, I attended the Community College of Allegheny County and am soon transferring to the University of Pittsburgh to finish a degree in Statistics. I currently work as a self-taught computer programmer, and am using the same love of learning that gave me this job to help other students. In 2009, I began tutoring three students who were failing their Honors Chemistry class at the end of the first quarter. By the end of the year, two had B's and one had a C. The pride of that success has kept me tutoring for more than 7 years. Giving motivated students the assistance they need to succeed is my biggest passion.

Q&A with Mack

I’m not teaching the student a subject, I’m teaching the student how to learn. If the student is successful while I’m tutoring them, and struggles while I’m not, I haven’t done my job. The most important goal of tutoring is giving the student the skills and confidence to master any subject on their own. How can you help a student become an independent learner? To help a student become an independent learner, I will make sure they are comfortable using the resources available to them, and avoid encouraging reliance on anyone, myself included. Common resources are the examples in their textbook, worksheets, instructional websites, and example problems that have been worked out step by step.
