I studied Engineering and Computer Science at UCLA, then worked full-time for Citibank as a Programmer and Designer for over 25 years before becoming an independent contractor.

At my job I taught programming classes and mentored new employees. I traveled to several countries to install software and train users, so I have worked with a variety of cultures and personalities.

I am patient and strive to see the world from the viewpoint of the student, and I never talk down to anyone.

If you're in need of some programming guidance, Mark can definitely help you! He helps me with my C++ assignments and after every session, I feel like I learned so much from it. You can tell he is very knowledgeable in programming and he's also super friendly. He always comes prepared to our sessions and he's always armed with his own set of code examples so during lessons you get right into the coding. He's very patient too, No matter how many questions I ask him with, he's always ready with detailed explanations. He won't move on until he's sure you're following along, which I really appreciate. He creates a supportive learning environment where you feel comfortable asking even the most basic questions without fear of judgment.

Mark is a wonderful tutor. He is thorough and patient. He diligently covers every concept and cares about his student. He is very flexible and deals with changes in our schedule which makes him very easy to work with. Our children like working with him and advancing their programming knowledge. I would highly recommend him.

Great help with operator overloading, linked lists, algorithms, streams, inheritance, and more! He is patient and will happily go down line by line of the program to make sure the student understands.

Mark helped me prepare for my PIC 10A final at UCLA and was a life saver! He was super patient and knowledgeable and explained it in a really simple way to make me understand the material! He really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend him!

I'm taking CS50 at SMC and Mark has helped me understand what I need to do for my assignments. He goes through every step and makes sure that you understand it.

Mark has been really great. We have been working on Java material for PIC 20A at UCLA. I have found that he has helped in my overall understanding of OOP. Will continue to work with Mark throughout the quarter!
- Elizabeth K. from Los Angeles, CA
Had my first session with Mark, and it really opened up my mind and helped things to click... he?s patient, explains things in detail at my pace, and really cares to make sure I understood everything we went over. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help and to truly learn something that they are struggling with. He?s very clear and gives great examples. Highly recommend.

Currently taking a data structures class using c++ and was completely lost, was about to drop the course till i found Mark! Not only did he teach me the subject better than my professor, but he followed up with me frequently to make sure I?m doing okay and would ask if i have any questions. He truly cares about his students success. Thanks to his help i was able to raise my grade up to an A. I can now confidently say i know what I?m doing in programming thanks to Mark! Thank you!

I had just started my project for CS32 a few hours before the deadline, and Mark came very prepared with prior knowledge of the project. Highly recommended for UCLA students. Fast, clear, and enthusiastic.

Mark is currently helping me with my software development class...very good tutor and takes time to prepare for the session. Recommend him for anyone that needs assistance with a programming language.
- Mohamed G. from Los Angeles, CA
Mark was exactly what we?d hoped for in a tutor. He knows his subject matter well and was able to explain it clearly to a student who was encountering it for the first time. Thank you Mark.
- Kirk C. from Los Angeles, CA
After just a couple of lessons with Mark, my daughter got a 100 on a quiz in her AP Computer Science class. Mark is very thoughtful about his approach to planning his tutoring sessions and clearly wants my daughter to be the best she can be.
- Kaye K. from Los Angeles, CA
Mark is worth every dime spent. He is very patient with you and also very knowledgeable about the subject he is tutoring. I would highly recommend him for future sessions. He helped me in the areas I was struggling in and guided me threw the lessons allowing me do do the work on my own with assistance when needed. He was exactly what I was looking for.
- Robert S. from North Hollywood, CA
Mark was very helpful preparing my son for his AP Java exam. Mark reviewed relevant books and practice tests, and made great recommendations. He helped my son cover the material he missed on the practice exam, and helped him think about the word problems on the test.
- Audrey P. from Los Angeles, CA
I had never coded before taking Pic10A at UCLA and I truly would not have gotten through this class if it wasn't for Mark. He has so much experience in this subject and knew the class curriculum very well. He had his own material and practice exams to help me study for the final as well. He was also fast to respond whenever I needed help outside of sessions. Would highly recommend!
- Vienna C. from Los Angeles, CA
Mark helped me with my PIC20A (Java) course at UCLA. I was amazed by the work he put in to both prior to and during our tutoring sessions, both on explaining lecture material and covering any homework problems I was confused about. Most importantly, I gained more and more confidence in working on my own and understanding how to solve problems. I would recommend Mark to anyone who feels stuck or confused. Trust me, his hourly rate is very much worth the time and help you will receive!
- Matt F. from San Gabriel, CA
Mark is extremely knowledgeable and responsible. This is my first quarter taking a programming class, and Mark really helps me understand the material thoroughly. You can tell he put a lot of effort into preparing the lesson. Even after the tutoring session was over, Mark patiently answered my questions. I have never imagined I could learn this much in a programming class. Thank you, Mark!
- Lujia Z. from Los Angeles, CA
Mark tutored me in C++ for PIC10A. Before the final, he was able to completely and effectively answer my questions. He provided clarity on all the topics that were unclear from class, and he worked through practice problems for the final step by step. Mark is an excellent tutor, who will both patiently answer all questions and explicitly highlight the most important information. He creates an environment that makes students feel comfortable asking questions and working through mistakes.
- Kelli B. from Los Angeles, CA
If you're looking for a tutor for computer science look no further. Mark is the guy. He helped me out with my CS 31 project and did a great job explaining concepts I had a really hard time grasping. He is well worth the money and on top of it all he's a really nice guy who genuinely wants his students to succeed. 6 stars and 8 thumbs up.
- Connor A. from Los Angeles, CA
Mark was instrumental in my finishing this assignment. He has years of experience with C++ and was incredibly thorough. I am struggling with PIC10B and PIC 20A this quarter at UCLA and with his help it is seeming a lot more manageable. Thanks for all the assistance, Mark!
