Mark W.
Private tutor in Los Angeles, CA
Education

Experience
770 GMAT, 168V/170Q GRE, many years tutoring, current math TA at USC. My website: www.uprisetestprep.com Testimonials from previous students: "I really enjoyed my math class with my TA Mark. He always knew how to keep us engaged as well as make learning math entertaining rather than just simply working through problems. I got a lot more out of that class because of Mark. " -Louis B. "Mark does a great job of working with students by slowing down the pace of the lectures for the student's benefit. He takes the hard concepts and carefully explains it piece by piece. In addition, he is very accessible for the students to meet after class." -Sam T. "Mark is by far the best TA I've had at USC! He completely saved me in Math 118 my first semester here. I had no idea what was going on and thought I would do horribly in the class, but because of Mark's great understanding of the subject matter and very engaging way of explaining it I was able to pull off an A! He always responded to my questions quickly and when I needed extra help on anything he was always extremely accommodating. I hope I can have a TA as good as him in the future. I know my GPA does too." -Adam K. "I found Mark to be proficient and thorough in all aspects of teaching and subject he covered in class. Without his help throughout my calculas course I would not have had nearly as much success." -Will H. "I really enjoyed having Mark as an instructor – he is always happy to answer any questions and will walk you through the problem until he is sure you understand completely. He makes himself available before and after class, in addition to office hours and extra test review sessions. But, most importantly, Mark always greets his class with a smile and finds a way to make even the most complicated concepts enjoyable to learn." -Lydia E. "Mark has been tutoring me in upper-division math courses for the past several months. He's hands down the best math tutor that I've ever had, period. Not only does he know any mathematical topic on a deep level (duh, he's a Ph. D student) but he's also patient and articulate about explaining concepts and problem-solving techniques. Don't waste hundreds more dollars on another tutor or service; this guy is the real deal." -Jon H.
