Thanks!
I am a dual national born in England of Italian parents and speak both languages natively.
I have a BSc. Honours Degree in Psychology from the Open University and am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society. I was always fascinated by Psychology, long before I completed my degree. Understanding what can motivate people and how this can affect behaviour definitely helps makes my everyday interactions much more successful.
My background is in service, computer technical support and troubleshooting.
My passion is memory and learning and I always use psychological principles to help all my students get the best results.

I thought the training that Marco did was very helpful and will make me more comfortable in knowing how to use the eduFire video classroom system.
Marco is so patient and is also gifted in thinking laterally, finding new ways to get around difficulties. Grazie Marco!
Thank you so much,Marco! He tried to speak simple English and slowly for me.so I could understand Bitish English.and he taught me concretely. I could learn usefuly.I will try to continu learning English at edufire:D
It was a fantastic session! Marco tailored a session to my needs and interests and I enjoyed it very much. Not only he's a fantastic tutor but he's a great person. Thank you Marco!
He knows his course material. is very patient and is very positive. He takes us at our pace. He has a great grasp of the technology required which makes the whole e.learning experience much easier.
Hi Marco. I`m sorry for late comment. I`m really grateful to you. Thank you very much for your helping and kindness.
Marco is a gifted teacher. During my college career I have taken on some difficult subjects but I have been truly humbled by the complexities of learning a foreign language. For the first time in my life I believed that I was in over my head so I went in search of assistance; this lead me to Edufire and Marco. Marco took the time to understand my where I was in the process of learning the language and has tailored my sessions to keep pace with my class. He has an excellent grasp of the Italian language, great communication skills, a good sense of humor and an in depth understanding of the Edufire site so he is able to work through any technical difficulty that may arise. Thanks Marco, you make learning Italian fun!
I enjoyed the lesson and I've improved my reading skill and vocabulary. Thank you, Marco. I hope I'll see you soon!
When your head hurts that's when you know it has been a great lesson - e adesso my head hurts :-) Great lesson - come sempre!!! Ci vediamo.
Another lesson of pure enjoyment. Marco, you make me relax and that is so half the job. Grazie non mille ma milione ;-)
If you are thinking of trying an Italian lesson then Marco is the man. Another perfect double lesson. :- Lars
Two hours gone by already? I don't believe it. This is fantastic and I feel so relaxed which for me is a must. Grazie mille, Marco. A prossima volta!
Another great lesson and today it was a double session. The right length of time for me, so absolutely - leaving us enough time to dive more into the matter. A prossima volta - e Buon Natale!
Fantastic first lesson, Marco! It was a great start and I am looking forward to our next lesson tomorrow! A domani!
Marco has always been there when trouble arrives! He's the guru! You have a question? Ask Marco! You'll get your problem solved! He's a great guy always going that extra mile to get things done! Thanks Again for all your help! Really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Thank you very much for helping me out with my headset!! You are a very good helper! :) Thanks a bunch!
Marco has provided the best instruction, written or voice, that I have received from anyone over the internet . He has provided great assistance , my severe hearing problem notwithstanding. Thanks again,Marco!
He was very informative and helpful. He is truly an expert with the technology and tools here at eduFire!
I tried Edufire because I thought that the learning method would be easy to accommodate in my schedule. I selected Marco specifically because his profile and video clip suggested that he would be an engaging and entertaining tutor. He was an even better tutor than I could have anticipated. Of course, being bright and interesting are requirements for good teachers, but Marco was also amusing, clever, and kind, which are some of the attributes that separate good teachers from great ones.
Marco is incredibly helpful, informative, and patient, knows a lot about his subject (and using eduFire, and would be an excellent tutor for all levels of language learning!
Hi Marco. Like always our lesson has been great. I would like to thank you and i hope we will meet soon on edufire. Bye
Despite some minor technical problems, the session was absolutely fabulous! Marco is a great teacher, he's very patient and extremely encouraging! He corrected my mistakes without making me feel ashamed, he praised me whenever I said something right, he w
Ciao a tutti, marco รจ un insegnante veramente speciale. Lo consiglio a coloro che vogliono imparare l'inglese in modo efficace e divertente! Bye bye
Another very enjoyable lesson. Marco is a very adaptable person - he really tries to find out what interests me and structure the lesson around that. he does not impose his own views on language learning. In my experience this is very rare!The time flies!
I've learnt more in three sessions with Marco than in an entire semester in college. I think that speaks for itself!
I am learning alot in a short period of time; fire more than I would have in any expensive formal classes!
An excellent lesson. Marco is an amazing teacher. The lesson was fun and informative; I am looking forward to the next lesson!
Because he takes the time to find out what you need to do; he includes different kinds of work in the lesson; he never tells you you have done something wrong - ie he has a very good supportive way of correcting you. I am enjoying it so much.
What a challenging lesson! I never thought I would get through the text I was sent but I did - and learned lots more besides. Marco has given me the confidence to try harder and learn more. And he didn't even flinch when I told him about my obsession wi
Marco is a good teacher - he finds out what you need to know and gets you to practise it. And he praises you all the time! what more do you want?
This was a great 2 hour lesson. Marco keeps me alert and on my toes by throwing in questions,conversation and quiz type stituations. This helps you to think, learn and makes it fun. He is currently helping me with verbs, sentence structure and useful voc
Marco is really great!!!! It's easy to learn with him. He is fun and a highly advisable tutor! He is very helpfull. I absolutely recomend him!
Me and Marco are making a great job. My english is improving and I'm very happy to study with him. See you next time. Bye.
ottimo e splendido lezione con marco. My Italian is improving and most importantly I feel more confidnet. Marco changed the lesson format today and it was great idea.
Marco's sessions have been a lot of fun. He's very supportive, patient and effective - pointing out subtle sounds and links that are present between English and Italian. Really great stuff. Thanks.
I suggest everybody to try at least one lesson with marco ... you won't regret! Thank you marco for the today's great lesson!
Marco is very friendly, he speaks so clearly I have no trouble understanding him!, and he explains things very concisely! Will do this again! Thank you Marco!
Marco reassured me throughout the session, giving me plenty of opportunity to explore the sounds present in Italian (but unfamiliar to my English ears) without feeling foolish. I appreciated the thought that he evidently put into preparation of the sessi
Third lesson... again, went well. Marco is a really great match for my style and needs. I look forward to our next session.
He always makes the lesson interesting and helpful. He is smart, fun, and serious about teaching but never boring.
This was our second session. We had a little trouble with the sound, but it was OK. We mostly read dialogues and went over vocabulary. I am looking forward to more improvisation, but it's difficult at this point since my vocabulary is still quite limited.
I enjoyed the lesson so much! Marco has helped me a lot with my pronunciation and taught me the vocabulary I really needed. Grazie mille, Marco.
First session went very well. A bit of latency because of the distance, but not too bad. Marco explained a little etymology, which I appreciate, and gave me some good pointers on pronunciation. I look forward to working with him again.
I usually have a lot of difficulty to speak and understand Italian so I have very little confidence in myself. However, I actually managed to have a conversation with Marco thanks to his patience, relaxed attitude and humour! The lesson was 100% focused o
Marco has a very positive attitude and helps you build confidence. At the end of the lesson I had a feeling that I could actually speak some Italian! He's kind, patient and has a great sense of humour. He's also always willing to help, even outside lesson
Fabulous tutor. Very responsive; zeros in on student's needs. He really listens and knows where the student needs to focus their efforts and yet very positive and encouraging.
He is fun! But he focuses on the student's needs. I learned more with Marco in one hour than I did in two months of a structured university class. I will definitely ask for him again. I never felt that he was teaching to just anyone; he actually liste
This was my second lesson with Marco and it was fantastic. His style of teaching conversational is fun (unlike the way you learned growing up in a classroom) and I highly recommend you take a class with him.
He is a kind teacher and always help you to improve your language skills. Lo consiglio a tutti coloro che vogliono imparare l'inglese in modo pratico e concreto, รจ una persona disponibile e paziente, molto attenta alle esigenze individuali. Ottimo profess
I just have to say that Marco is a wonderful teacher and is very easy to understand. I will be going back for more of his classes. Peace
Despite recovering from the flu, he was friendly, patient & helpful with my microphone problem, offering assistance to figure out the problem. The orientation actually flew by. I highly recommend him. All instructors should follow Marco's style.

While I am, I'll admit, an eduFire staffer, I've interacted with Marco a number of times on our site and I've always been impressed with his professionalism and ability to answer questions for our users.
Marco has been my tutor since January 2008. I have enjoyed my lessons with Marco. He has an informal and flexible teaching style, he will let you learn the way that you want to and at a rate that is comfortable to you. I have confidence in Marco so much so that I have recommended him to friends and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn Italian. He is patient and will provide you with lots of support and encouragement. He will provide you with learning materials and he will teach you to pronounce Italian correctly. I have found him professional and friendly.
