About Mark
I am a graduate in theoretical physics volunteering part-time research in particle physics. Since graduating, my employment has been in tutoring, in my spare time, however, I have studied and taken courses on bitcoin and blockchain, and want to pass on what I've learned about this incredibly exciting technological development.

In tutoring, after establishing the bounds of a subject, I take five aspects of learning and use them to provide a tailored experience to the individual's needs. These aspects are:
1.) Providing a comprehensive context of the subject. I make sure the student understand why they are learning this subject, what problems are we stuck with, why are we taking this route to solve things and not another? What sort of additional questions might one be able to answer from the realm of these and similar concepts?
When asked questions, this context ensures that students clearly interpret the question, leaving no error for misunderstandings and answering the wrong question. This context also gives them a broad understanding of what they will be learning and how it connects to other topics.
2.) Learning the fundamentals. I build-up from a set of fundamental rules that define each subject that we go through in the discussions of each different blockchain. Once these are firmly understood, later level confusions are more quickly and easily resolved - understanding the fundamentals of a blockchain will also help us to see how different problems they need to tackle actually arise.
3.) Building on fundamentals. Once the fundamentals are established, individual blockchain phenomena are discovered and explored. This is done by using the fundamental principles governing how that blockchain works to explain the phenomena. This approach allows for the most in-depth understanding of why the issues that specific blockchains have to tackle appear at all. In developing this understanding, visualization of the topic is often beneficial, and it is here where my three years of experience designing interactive visual teaching documents kicks in. For longer-term students, I am happy to design interactive visualisations for a topic for the student to use in between sessions. This is a unique aspect of my teaching.
4.) Refining understanding. Once the student has seen what emerges in the topic in question, a cycle of answering questions and reviewing understanding must be followed. In line with the Feynman technique of learning, these should be technical (on pen and paper) and vocal. This is where the student answers verbal questions and explains specific topics to me as if I was new to the subject. I then ask more questions to see where gaps in understanding lay and then continue from there, repeating this step as necessary. This is the essential step often missed in the classroom that transforms a student's knowledge of a subject into an understanding.
5.) Subject review. Once the student understands everything within a set topic, a broad picture review of everything in step 1 is made. However, now, the student has the satisfaction of having an intuitive understanding of all subject levels. From here, we can decide whether to push on to more topics, further into directions the student found interesting, or start revision planning and move from there.
Overall, this tutoring method ensures that students have an excellent depth of understanding of subjects and are confident in themselves that this is the case. The teaching process is gratifying. Students have a clear idea of what they are studying, why they are studying it, and get a full appreciation of how much progress they have made since starting.

Mark and I met in Uni a couple of years ago. We did the same course and were a part of the same tutorial group. Mark has helped me with physics and math work numerous times. Besides being a really nice person with a great sense of humor, Mark is one of the smartest people I know! He is extremely hard working and he explains really really well! He is very organized and always very well prepared! I highly recommend him as a tutor!
I found Mark through the superprof website. He's a great tutor. He prepares a lot of material for the lesson (examples, diagrams, web applications that can demonstrate concepts etc.) which really helps to make things runs smoothly. He's also really easy to get along with and doesn't make you feel insecure/bad if you struggle to understand a concept. The way he presents things also makes it very clear exactly what the main points that are central to understanding the concept are without getting bogged down in the details.
Mark is an amazing tutor. He understands where you might be struggling and asks the most relevant questions to help you understand. If you want to improve your grades then I would 100% recommend!
