I'm Mark Cox, and I've spent over 30 years as a software engineer and architect building real technology with Python, Java, and C++. But somewhere along the way, I realized my greatest impact comes from helping students understand difficult concepts in Calculus, Algebra, Data Structures, and Machine Learning—not just solve problems.
I'm Vanderbilt certified in Generative AI, I have Master's degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and I'm a father who's passionate about STEM education. With 20+ years teaching Calculus, Python programming, Competition Math (AMC/AIME), Java, C++, and Machine Learning, that combination means I bring real-world software engineering expertise, patience, and genuine care to every student I work with—whether you're tackling AP Calculus, learning Data Structures, debugging code, or preparing for math competitions.
I don't believe in shortcuts or memorization. I believe in clarity—breaking down complex Calculus problems, Python algorithms, Java concepts, and Machine Learning models until they make sense. When a student goes from confused to confident in Algebra, Data Structures, or coding, that's what drives me. Whether you're struggling with AP Calculus AB/BC, learning Python for the first time, preparing for AMC/AIME competitions, or exploring AI and Machine Learning, I'm here to help you build the understanding and confidence that lasts.
I specialize in mathematics, programming, computer science, and AI-related topics, including algebra, calculus, Python, Java, C++, and data analysis. I also offer test preparation for the ACT, SAT, and AP Computer Science exams. Each lesson is customized to match the student’s current level and goals.
All online sessions are conducted through secure, high-quality video platforms with screen sharing and interactive whiteboards. Students can code, solve math problems, or review assignments live. Sessions are recorded upon request for later review.
NextMind Tutoring combines real-world engineering experience with patient, structured instruction. With advanced degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and certifications in Generative AI from Vanderbilt University, I help students connect what they learn to real applications in technology and problem-solving.
Yes. I offer both in-person and online tutoring for students in the Birmingham and Shelby County areas. In-person sessions are arranged by appointment and follow a structured weekly schedule for consistency and progress tracking.
Scheduling is easy — you can request a session directly through this website or contact me to confirm availability. Once we establish your subject area and schedule, we’ll begin regular sessions designed around your learning goals.
Whether you’re preparing for an exam, catching up in class, or exploring coding and AI for the first time — I’ll help you build understanding, confidence, and momentum in every session.
