Mark B.

Mark B has a PhD in Mathematical Physics.
He has been tutoring all levels of math and physiics for about 30 years. The last five years he has been teaching math and physics in high schools.
Mark is very particular about proving everything in both math and physics from the ground up. If necessary he will go back to the level that the students is familiar with and build from there to make sure that the students understands every step.
He also likes to make the student figure out possible next steps in how to achieve a better understanding.
When it comes to problem solving in both math and physics, Mark likes the student to give examples for the basic problems, with input from the student, but then encourage the student to try without help as much as possible, before showing the solution.
