Mark S.

Private tutor in Waterloo, Canada

Education

I have a bachelor's of science in biology from Dalhousie and a bachelor's of math in Applied Mathematics from the University of Waterloo. While studying the Honours Applied Math curriculum, I was able to focus entirely on mathematics because of my previous credit. As a result, I now have a strong foundation in virtually all branches of mathematics and am happy to draw upon my experience to help my students.

Experience

I specialize in tutoring math and the natural sciences. In 2010 and 2011, I tutored mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics in the GTA to secondary school students. I also tutored post-secondary calculus and biology. Following that, I moved to the Kitchener-Waterloo area, where I've continued to tutor math and physics for both high school and university students. I really enjoy tutoring because helping other people understand core concepts is very satisfying for me and makes me feel as if I have made a contribution. I spent a few years working in IT Project Management for companies like IBM and Home Depot before returning to do my BMath. Currently, my company has been accepted into the Velocity Garage program at UW!

Hobbies

I dabble in lots of things: electronics, hardware, embedded design, CAD, CAM, fabrication. I've been stick and MIG welding for a few years and slowly (very slowly) getting better. Tried my hand at sratch-start TIG last summer, which was fun but convinced me that it's the hand, not the tool that counts. I spent some time working as a carpenter doing home renovations and I continue to work on it as a hobby for personal projects (basement reno, new deck, yard landscaping). Sadly, when moved a few years ago, I had to give up my dream garage/shop so I haven't worked on cars for a while but it was a passion for a long time. I'm a math nerd but I tend a bit more to the Will Hunting side than the Big Bang Theory side.
