Marc Surphlis
Mathematics Educator & Personal Trainer
Marc is a private mathematics tutor and personal trainer serving students and athletes across the Greater Lake Norman area. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with an Actuarial Science concentration from UNC Charlotte, Marc has been guiding students from Algebra through Calculus since 2019.
His approach bridges academic precision with athletic discipline — the same focus and methodology that builds a strong physique also builds a strong mathematical foundation.

My Approach to Teaching
Private tutoring should feel different from a classroom. Here's what every student can expect working with Marc.
Meet You Where You Are
Every student starts from a different place. Sessions are paced to your current understanding, not a rigid curriculum.
Build Genuine Understanding
The focus is on understanding why concepts work, not just memorizing procedures — so knowledge sticks for exams and beyond.
Consistent Accountability
Progress requires consistency. Regular sessions and homework review create momentum that transforms grades over time.
Applied Mathematics
Real-world examples and connections to actuarial science, engineering, and finance make abstract concepts click.
Two Passions. One Philosophy.
The same discipline required to push through a hard set in the gym is the same discipline required to work through a challenging calculus problem. Marc channels both every day.
The Educator
With a mathematics degree focused on actuarial science, Marc brings depth and rigor to every session. Over 100 families across the Lake Norman region have trusted him to prepare their students for everything from final exams to the SAT.
Future plans include a VR-enhanced tutoring interface and fully developed online courses — keeping Surphmore at the forefront of math education.
The Trainer
Marc's personal training practice applies the same analytical precision as his math instruction. Fitness programming is evidence-based, individualized, and built around measurable outcomes — not guesswork.
Nutrition, strength, and body composition are all approached with data and consistency. Online coaching is coming soon through the Surphmore Bodybuilding Coach app.
