What Mark’s Students are Saying
He is Really Awesome
I rated Mark a 5/5 star mentor because he is really awesome!!! He is always giving us the opportunity to ask questions and when all the questions are done, he gives us a rockin’ demo. I can’t really ask for anything more than that!!
A Great Mentor
Mark has been a great mentor. He grades fairly and gives very good notes back to his students each week. The Q&As are great as he always has something to share with us and is always able to take questions.
Takes Time to Demo Concepts
Mark is always willing to share his knowledge with us. I appreciate that he takes time during our Q&As to demo concepts that we are struggling with. Also, he spends a good amount of time on our eCrits, which is awesome because we are always looking for as much feedback as possible.
