ABOUT ME

Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of industry experience

My name is Marko. Originally from Europe, I moved to NY in 2019 to pursue Master's degree at Kean University in NJ from which I have eventually graduated with cumulative GPA of above 3.9. Last year and a half, I have been professionally engaged as Software Consultant at boutique consultancy agency in SOHO.

I have been passionate about tutoring from the very early college days. While maintaining great academic standing, I have always been recommended by professors at University as a go to person for giving out private lessons and supporting other students in programming and data classes. This has extended onto my Graduate studies at Kean, where I was given a position of Graduate assistant that covered 100% of my tuition. I have taught Java, C#, SQL, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Laravel and Data warehousing. I have participated in creating practical example booklets for Object oriented programming classes as well.

What motivates me the most about tutoring is seeing students succeed. I have had students that would struggle with programming classes for years. I'm proud to say that after only a couple of classes they were able to overcome the obstacles and successfully pass those classes. I believe the success of my approach is in patience and ability to take even the most complicated principles, and make it approachable and easy to understand even to the absolute beginners.

Over 7 years of professional industry working experience with some of the most cutting edge technologies is what should primarily recommend me as a qualified Computer science tutor. Being employed as a software consultant in the last year and a half with the official title of "problem solver" should tell you enough about my character and approach to work: there is no task or challenge big enough that I would not undertake. I try to transfer that same mindset to my students as well. Pretty flexible with schedule and open to both online and in person, I'm here to help you out, so feel free to contact me.
