Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
Having completed a number of advanced university level Mathematics courses I feel confident that I have the necessary background. I'm also generally interested in mathematics and especially in how to effectively teach and garner interest in maths.
Physical Science
I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Climate Science and am extremely passionate about science in general. Getting this far in my academic career has also given me a strong background in Physics.
English
I believe that years of having to write convincing and succinct essays on a variety of topics at University gives a solid background to teach English. I am also very widely read and find the great works of literature fascinating.
- Software Development
Python
I use python everyday for my own research and have experience teaching it to undergraduates and colleagues at my University.

Reviews from others
“If it wasn't for Mark, I don't think I would have managed to pass my course, but because of Mark, all my grades were 94% and up. I found him very understanding and his method of teaching is very clear and allowed me to understand and retain the information with great ease. I never really did maths or science at school, yet Mark was able to impart his knowledge in such a way that I understood material that would have been impossible for me to understand if it were not for him. ”
