"Hi! I'm Mark. For over thirty years I have taught students of all ages, including adults, a variety of subjects in the humanities. I am a graduate of Duke University, with a Masters in Secondary Education. I have tutored students in English, Latin, and History, and I also work with students interested in test preparation, both ACT and SAT. I enjoy teaching and getting to know my students so that I can design instruction that fits their learning needs.

I have years of experience understanding both the course material I teach and also finding ways to help students learn content. My classroom is a lively one with lots of active discussion and creative teaching techniques. I have improved students of all ages in their pursuit of knowledge of Latin and the Classical world, teaching and tutoring beginning students all the way through Advanced Placement.

I have also taught junior high and high school students in my Ancient and World History courses. Making the past come alive is a joy to share with students! I've also directed study abroad trips with my students to historical destinations in Europe. Whether you are interested in writing papers, preparing for assessments, or just getting a better grasp of the history you are currently studying, I can explain course material in a manner that will make you confident and capable in the classroom.

If you need a little help or a lot, just contact me and I can quickly answer all your questions. I have worked with thousands of students who have benefitted from my teaching skills. You will benefit, too!" less...
