About
Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I get a lot of energy and satisfaction seeing a subject or concept click for a student. I've been tutoring for over 10 years.
With me you will receive a lot more than just the time paid for the session. I always come prepared and make sure to follow up. I know how to work at the pace of the student, and understand that their motivation is the key to improvement.
If you would like to schedule a session, but are unsure if I am a good fit, I am always willing to have a free consultation phone call to answer any questions.
Every student has a different way of learning optimally. I will work to help not only to understand the subject of your choice, but also to continue learning in a way that is more efficient and enjoyable.

Mark has been so helpful for my daughter who was taking college level physics with little high school foundation in the subject. His approach and demeanor helped my daughter feel comfortable and able to focus on learning without worrying about any judgment. Highly recommend Mark!

Mark was absolutely amazing! My teenage daughter was panicking and stressed about an upcoming physics test that could have significantly impacted her grade. Over just three sessions, Mark’s patience, clear explanations, and excellent teaching skills helped her not only understand but also apply the concepts. Thanks to his guidance, she scored a perfect 100 on the test! We are so grateful for his help and will definitely reach out to him in the future.

Mark is amazing. My son hit a bump in the road in his Physics H class. I could not believe how quickly Mark got him up to speed and back to really loving his physics class. We recommend Mark very, very highly.

Grini from New York I was looking for mathtutor for my daughter she’s in high school currently taking Geometry and she’s having difficulty understanding the class, so I research online and I found Mark Scully I look at his review from other client and I like it. I hired Mark Scully and so far it’s going great the fist session my daughter understood the problem she was having difficulty with. I highly recommend Mark Scully very knowledgeable and professional.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The first consultation is always free!
If you have trouble affording my hourly prices let me know and we can discuss a plan that may work better for you.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During the initial consultation I want to understand what you are struggling with as well as your goals. This will give me time to prepare for the first session to guarantee that no time is wasted.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2017 with a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering.
I was very lucky to grow up in a family of teachers and tutors. This allowed me to learn test taking skills as well as how to cater to the learning needs of others.
