“Without Mark’s help, I doubt I would’ve ever graduated from CU. I started off as a pre-med undecided major and almost failed out freshman year. Mark was recommended to me by a friend, and with his help I am finally done with school after 5 years.”
– Henry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 2025

Transform Abstract Biology Concepts into Clear Understanding
I help students see biology as a systematic science, not just memorization.

“Mark is hands down the best tutor I ever had! I started with him my freshman year as an MCDB major and used him every semester until I graduated 4 years later. He helped me in all of my science courses: chemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry, just to name a few. I can say with confidence that I would not have made it all 4 years as an MCDB major without Mark’s help and support through it all!”
– Sophie, MCDB 2023

“One of the most reliable and actually helpful tutors I’ve ever had. I know I can always text with a question, and I’ll almost immediately get a response that’s easy to understand and explained in a way that enhances my knowledge of the subject. With his help I saw tremendous improvements in the grades I was receiving in my chemistry classes.”
