Personal Description:
I’m a Data Scientist with a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Trinity College Dublin and a former university research fellow. I’ve taught over 250 students at Leaving Cert and university level, combining deep subject knowledge with experience in both academia and industry.
I see each student as unique, adapting sessions to their strengths and goals. Unlike generic AI, I provide judgment, tactical guidance, and structured feedback specifically for Irish exams, helping students build real understanding, confidence, and independent problem-solving skills, so that every session translates directly into better performance.
Tutoring Experience:
I’ve worked with over 250 students—from Junior and Leaving Cert to university and adult learners. I’ve also taught four university modules and delivered technical and soft-skills training in corporate settings.
Subjects I teach include:
· Leaving Cert: Maths, Physics, Applied Maths
· University: Maths, Statistics, Physics, Linear Algebra
· Industry: Data Science, Machine Learning
· Programming: Python
· Italian
I adapt quickly to different learning styles and goals—whether a student needs to build a solid foundation or dive deep into advanced material.
Approach to Grinds:
In 2026, explanations are everywhere. Exam performance is not.
Students can generate answers instantly with Chatgpt. What they struggle with is writing solutions that earn marks, thinking clearly under time pressure, and solving unfamiliar problems with structure and control.
My work is not to provide answers. It is to train performance and critical thinking. I am a coach, not a tutor.
For Leaving Cert students, we focus on how marks are actually awarded, how to structure solutions for Irish marking schemes, and how to eliminate the small errors that cost grades. We work with past papers, timed conditions and precise feedback so that performance becomes predictable, not accidental.
For University students, the focus is rigor. Clear logic, complete reasoning, and the ability to defend every step. Not just reaching the result, but understanding why it holds.
AI can generate steps. It cannot judge how an examiner reads your script. It cannot detect weak reasoning or train intellectual discipline under pressure.
I analyse how you think, identify where marks are lost, and build a repeatable method you can execute independently.
The goal is not more notes. It is control, clarity and results on exam day.

I would highly recommend him to everyone.
• Repeated measures models
• Models with and random effects
• Models with fixed and random effects
• Weighted least squares
• Maximum likelihood for LMMs
• Parametric forms of linear mixed models
• Likelihood function for linear mixed models
• Finding maximum likelihood estimators
• Random coefficient models and non-parametric regression
He took the time to understand the material, was able to explain everything clearly, and is patient and encouraging. If you're preparing for exams or writing a thesis, Carlo will be able to help you!

Carlo is a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. I am very happy to recommend Carlo.
Brendan
A very friendly and relatable teacher.
Carlo was very professional and of great assistance to my son.
He was patient, and made sure I understood each solution.
I would recommend Carlo if you are looking for help with maths, as you will have a tutor that is attentive and knowledgable.

He was very patient and started from the very basic up algebra till a full study of a function.
His approach was very practical to focus on potential exercises from previous years exams.
Highly recommend it.
At first we were apprehensive about online tutoring but after the first session my son said it worked out great. He found Carlo explained things really well and the use of the digital notepad actually added to the lesson because he was able to see all the questions and slides they were working through. Also after the lesson Carlo sent notes via email to help with revision.
Carlo was very accommodating with his schedule and prompt in his reply back to us everytime.
We would highly recommend him for online tutoring.
He is very knowledgeable about the topic and is able to provide explanations and examples from the web to help broaden my understanding.
But now, I’m quite OK with Maths because Carlo helps me . He explains nice and easy way so I can understand.
It’s been very helpful for me.
Definitely I would like to continue his class.
If I hadn’t met Carlo, my Maths would have been a disaster.
Thanks to you, Carlo.
Initially we conducted a few lessons online through voice call where he did sample problems and theory using a digital notepad and a shared screen, which allowed for a lot of flexibility time-wise. We later met up for one-on-one tutoring sessions which were fantastic. Carlo was very well informed on the topics of probability, statistics, and vectors. Initially he taught me the theory behind each question, and showed me how a particular question would be solved, however later he encouraged me to solve questions on my own, with help along the way.
Overall, Carlo was a highly flexible, friendly, and dedicated tutor, and was an absolute pleasure to work with!
Carlo offers skype tutoring sessions in which problems are explored on a digital notepad via screen-share. I've found this format to be very useful - after working through problems, he can pull up, for example, illustrations of graphs on gnuplot which are often conceptually clarifying. This allows notes to be sent after sessions via e-mail and saves you a lot of tedious paper tracking and travelling. I was skeptical before trying it, generally being someone who studies best pen-and-paper out of a book or hard copy of notes, but it really is a very versatile way of tutoring and can be done from your own home and I'd highly recommend it to prospective students of his!
I found Carlo to be very knowledgeable in all respects for maths. He doesn't lecture - he encourages your own responses to questions and helps you work on weak areas. I've found him to be quite skilled at linking solution approaches to the core concepts of the course you're doing and referring back to those concepts often such that they spring to mind when I'm trying questions on my own.
Finally, Carlo is very accommodating in terms of scheduling.
Highly recommended!
Carlo's experience has been important in getting to know Thomas quickly and adapting a study plan suited to him.
He appreciates feedback and constantly seeks to improve the quality of his tutoring. I couldn't be happier!
Leaving Cert this year. He was excellent at explaining grammar, widening her vocabulary, and writing essays. He was extremely pleasant, helpful and patient. I would highly recommend Carlo for Leaving Cert grinds
Returning to university after 10 years to complete my MSc in Fire Engineering and realised I needed to brush up on my 3rd level physics/Maths/Chemistry.
Carlo provided the work schedule, the study materials, and our weekly meeting sessions (to review my progress, answer questions & outline the upcoming study area).
He is very approachable and an excellent tutor.
I would highly recommend Carlo for anyone looking for a Physics or Maths tutor.
