"This review is from a student I tutored in Algebra, but you can still get a sense of what working with me is like. —-————————————- A Truly Exceptional Math Tutor I cannot say enough wonderful things about Doug and his tutoring style. From the very first session, it was clear that he not only has a deep mastery of mathematics but also a true passion and talent for teaching. He has an incredible ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations, making even the most challenging topics approachable. What truly sets Doug apart is his genuine care for his students. He is always available for extra help, whether during office hours or via email, and he went above and beyond to ensure that I had the support I need to succeed. His patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm creates a welcoming learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and pushing myself to improve. Thanks to Doug, I not only gained a stronger understanding of math but also a newfound confidence in my abilities. I highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and inspiring tutor.

As a soccer player and I love teaching specialist skills for specific positions. I have experience playing as an inverted outside back, and regular outside back. This position took me all the way from rec soccer through college soccer. I'm newer at coaching but work in the school system so I'm experienced working with kids. I aim to teach players who are looking to go into club soccer and transition from a recreational level. I have experience with this transition. This was a huge stress for me and understand how hard it can be for younger players to mentally and physically adjust. All in all, the change in the level of competition should not limit the amount of enjoyment you have on the field.

I have been ranked Number 1 Soccer Private Coach in USA. Former Pro soccer player from Brazil. I can take you to the next level. Learn how to be a skillful player. Giving you ball control and game vision. I was born and raised in Brazil, where soccer has always been a central part of my life. I played at both the college and professional levels in Brazil before moving to the United States in 2003, shortly after earning my degree in Economics from the Federal University of Viçosa. Since then, I’ve been living and coaching in the U.S. for over 20 years. I became a USSF-certified referee and coach in 2005 and have dedicated myself to training athletes of all ages and backgrounds ever since. My coaching experience ranges from working with high-level athletes to individuals looking to improve their fitness and well-being. I have a strong passion for private coaching because it allows for focused attention, customized feedback, and a deeper understanding of technique. Unlike group settings, private sessions ensure that each client receives full attention, leading to faster progress and a more meaningful experience. My goal is to empower clients to take control of their fitness journey by combining expert guidance with practical tools. I believe in blending light gym-based strength training with high-intensity indoor or outdoor workouts to create balanced, effective programs that boost performance, health, and confidence.
"My son has been taking lessons from Marcello for last 3 years. On an average he takes minimum 5 weekly lessons in summer and minimum 5 in winter/early spring. We would love to take more but between club/school soccer practices and games it becomes difficult. My sons technique has improved tremendously. At a recent tryout for a premier club team, the coaches said that technically my son has all skills needed for his age group and that he is up there with the best players. I give full credit to Marcello for this. Now my son needs to work more on his fitness. Marcello met us at a gym and showed what equipment is best to avoid injuries and stay fit from soccer point of view. As a parent I very highly recommend Marcello as a coach!! We wish we could have started our son at a much earlier age with him.
