I believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn to the best of their ability, and the chance to reach their potential. I know not every student receives that in school, so my goal is to reach as many students as I can, and give them that opportunity.
Hello I am Mark. I am what most consider a computer science powerhouse. I was formally taught programming starting at the tender age of 12. Throughout my 15 years of computer programming, I have sharpened my knowledge of computer science through creation and contribution to several applications in several programming languages. Essentially building application used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide either though my company or freelancing. I studied Control & Instrumentation Engineering at The University of Houston- Downtown to help me become closer to the understanding of robotic technology to use with my computer science skills.I spent 5 years as a mobile application curriculum developer and the Mobile Application Development Chair of an Institute. During this time I constructed an entire associate program that is still being used today. I used my vast knowledge and unique teaching style to develop promising developers that are currently disrupting the computer science industry. I keep active communication with all of my students, because from time to time they seek advice or help with a problem they may be having.I enjoy teaching and helping individuals learn new skills that I have been blessed to be gifted with. I try to understand and cater to every students' individual needs, because no one student learns the same way. I explain every concept with a VAK teaching style; meaning strategically explaining concepts Visually, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. I take pride in my students growth and success. Having these skills inevitably brings a fundamental understanding of how to explain these competencies to any individual.Feel free to contact me to learn from an teacher with over 3000 hours of in-person teaching. Building strong technology and minds is my passion, and teaching you is my priority. I believe that sharing knowledge is the most positive way to help humanity.
I work as a full stack developer for an IT Company. I have received a bachelors of science in math and computer science at the University of Houston - Downtown and a masters of science in computer science at the University of Houston - Clearlake. I am most passionate about math and computer science. I have taught community college developmental math classes for about 2 years. When I was a math student, I learn best by example and as a math teacher and tutor, I prefer to teach by example by walking through the steps and making sure the steps are understood. Also, starting off with the big picture, such as what is the purpose, is important as well. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, exercise, cooking, live music, and game design.
We have all been in the situation where we needed help. My daughter struggled through the public school system and needed a bit of help. I decided to homeschool her from 5th through 8th grade in order to give her a solid foundation for high school. She's graduating high school this year with an associate's degree at 18 years old. Sometimes hurdles turn out to be a launching pad. Additionally, I have a passion for working with English language learners. I have three years of classroom experience teaching middle school math in a school that is 90 percent ESL students. While deployed in the United States Navy I earned an associates in Electronic Technology from Coastline Community College. After I was finishing discharged for fulfilling my military contact, I earned my bachelor's degree from UHD in 2013. I have a bachelor of science in Political Science with minors in Communication, Public Policy and Administration, and International Relations. I love teaching math because it's a practical skill used in day-to-day life. My daughter is right brained and struggled in math. It is deeply gratifying to help a child and watch their self confidence grow when they are successful in subjects they deem difficult. I believe every child can reach their goals when given the foundation to succeed. I am a trouble shooter and problem solver by nature. I believe in listening to the student in order to develop meaningful communication. Once communication is established, it's a matter of setting goals and creating a plan to reach those goals. I love helping children achieve their academic goals.

My specialties are Reading, Writing, History, Social Studies and Government. I did extremely well in these subjects and was asked to help other students in these subjects as well. I enjoy many activities such as reading, writing, playing pool, and I am an avid NFL and NBA fan. I am also a movie fanatic. I am learning to lead a healthier lifestyle and incorporate more exercise and healthier meal options. I am not so focused on the lesson that I forget to make learning fun. I believe that if you enjoy what you are learning, you will want to learn more. I am eager to help and looking forward to being able to assist you in reaching your educational goals.

I am a graduate of the University of Houston-Downtown with a degree in English. I previously did volunteer work at a local literacy literacy center where I gained experience teaching Adult Basic Education (ABE) with a focus on reading and writing. It is my desire to pass the awesome opportunity of reading on to someone in the hopes that they would someday do the same for another person. I enjoy doing yoga, writing, dancing, and improving the lives of those around me.
I have enjoyed tutoring students for the past 8 years. It has brought so much joy to my heart seeing my students be able to succeed in the vast amounts that they have been able to accomplish. As an independent tutor, I have made sure to follow through with the lesson plans that I have created based on the academic level of each student. I have differentiated my instruction to cater to the need of each individual student to ensure proper success. I believe that all students have the power to succeed.
