Mark Steven Lawton

Tutor

Over twenty years of experience as a consultant, teacher, tutor, and administer. Strongly believes in the constructivist (experiential) approach to learning and teaching. I have an ongoing series of projects and clients, including tutoring individual students in Math and Physics as well as consulting to corporations working in education. I tutor all levels of high school math and physics. I work with students in person and via Skype. I place a strong emphasis on meeting students "where they are" and building a strong rapport. In addition, I use a variety of software such as Mathematica to demonstrate concepts in 2D and 3D graphs. Read more

    Mark was my calculus tutor senior year and high school and he couldn't have been more helpful. He was always willing to meet when I needed help and took the time out of his schedule to meet with me. He knows how to apply his vast knowledge to each problem and can explain it in a simple way. ... Not only is he an incredible teacher, but he truly cares about each of his students and is invested in the people they are. ... I can't recommend Mark more highly!

    Mark has been an incredible tutor in math for my daughter who is a junior in high school. He is kind, patient and knows his subject matter. He is an excellent educator and explains things very clearly; he takes the time to ensure sure his students fully grasp the material. The students understand they must come prepared for each session and make the most out of their time together. He is superb.

    Mark tutored my son in Pre-Calc and Calculus AB and it was a fantastic experience. My son got the confidence and skill development he needed, and he really enjoyed Mark's company. He looked forward to spending time with Mark, which is more than I expected!

    Mark has tutored my 3 kids for high school math for 3 years. They all have different learning styles but he is able to connect with each of them and help them learn the fundamental concepts and solve the problem sets on their own. He is kind and consistent and keeps them on track.
