About Marco
I’m Marco, a software engineer and physicist with a Master’s degree in Quantum Information from Sapienza University of Rome. I spent over six years working professionally as a backend developer, mainly in Java and Groovy, building and maintaining enterprise-grade systems. I now work as a Research Assistant at the University of Cambridge, applying software and data analysis skills to neuroscience and medical research.
I have solid experience in Java, Go, Python, and C — languages I’ve used in both academic and professional contexts. I’m especially passionate about clean code, software craftsmanship, and helping others develop a deeper understanding of programming beyond just syntax. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or prepare for real-world challenges, I can help you think like an engineer.

My teaching approach is focused on making complex programming concepts accessible, engaging, and relevant to real-world development. While I specialise in Java, I also offer lessons in Python, Go, and C — all with the same commitment to clarity and depth.
I prioritise building a strong grasp of core programming principles. Rather than memorising syntax, you’ll learn how to think through problems, understand what’s happening under the hood, and write clean, maintainable code. I break down abstract ideas into manageable steps and use real-world examples to show how theory applies in practice — whether it’s designing a REST API, structuring a project, or debugging a tricky bug.
Each 60-minute lesson is structured around three phases: a quick review of the previous session, a deep dive into new material, and a hands-on coding segment where you actively apply what you’ve learned. I’ll give you tailored challenges at the end of each lesson to reinforce key concepts and prepare you for the next session.
My lessons are suitable for all levels — from complete beginners to junior software engineers looking to strengthen their foundation or move into more advanced topics like concurrency, design patterns, or microservices. With over six years of experience as a backend developer and my current role in academic research, I bring a dual perspective that connects solid engineering practice with thoughtful problem-solving.
Whether you’re studying computer science or preparing for a technical role, these lessons are designed to build confidence, deepen understanding, and accelerate your progress.

Perfect! Marco has been teaching my younger daughter for around a year, and we couldn’t be happier with him.
She is starting Year 7 and has been passionate about computers and coding for the past 4–5 years. Marco is incredibly reliable, kind, patient, and supportive, and he has been wonderful at encouraging her interest and helping her develop her skills.
I couldn’t ask for a better tutor. We are very grateful for his dedication and the way he works with her. I’m hoping that, with Marco’s guidance and supervision, she will be able to take Computer Science for her GCSE in the future.
I would highly recommend Marco to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and caring computer science tutor.View more reviews

Marco is an excellent teacher of math and physics because of his ability to explain complicated concepts in a simple way. He has been a valuable help in my exams preparation and, moreover, someone with whom it is truly enjoyable to spend time.
Highly recommended! Marco has helped me extensively while preparing for my Statistics exam at medical school.
He is passionate, oriented and very engaging.
I am extremely grateful to Marco as he has helped me progress with my Software Engineering course.
Highly recommended! Marco helped me achieve my goals while preparing for my GCSE exam. I was really stuck on Maths, but Marco explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. His support and patience made all the difference, and I felt much more confident going into the exam.
Marco has been a great teacher for me, he helped me boost my confidence
