Melbourne tutor in Algebra, Biology, Calculus, Engineering, Further Maths, Geometry, Maths, Maths Methods, Maths Specialist, Physics, Statistics

Hi there! My name is Peter and I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate from the University of Melbourne (graduated with a WAM of 82). I have extensive knowledge in the field of mathematics (all levels/units), physics (all levels/units), and most mechanical/mechatronics engineering subjects (control systems, engineering maths, numerical methods, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics etc)

If you're looking for someone who understands the struggles & stresses of school/uni and require that extra push to get you through your studies in 2025, then I believe I can help you. My main focus lies on identifying where any weakness may be, addressing them and then working together to understand whatever topic/concept is causing you difficulties. Good grades are great, but having a solid understanding of the topics you're tackling is needed to be able to then take on those harder questions that may pop up in VCE/Uni exams. I tutor as I love teaching, and it helps keep a lot of these concepts fresh in my mind, which helps me in my day-to-day work.

A typical lesson (1hr) would involve the following:
1. Discuss/review difficulties faced since last lesson (ideally, you'd email me a day before the lesson with this info so I can prepare notes in advance).
2. Explanation of concepts with the use of visual aids/diagrams/slides.
3. Guided practice where we work on questions together.
4. Independent practice where i observe your methodology/approach and provide feedback (either in real-time or after the question is done).

After *every* lesson, I provide you with a couple of pages of information (a cheat sheet of sorts) on the topics discussed on the day. At the end of the semester, the notes will form a complete book that you will be able to refer to if you ever need to. These notes are always unique to each student, and emphasis is placed on the topics/questions/concepts that you struggle with.

A quick overview of myself:
- I lead the R&D department (Engineering) at a company focused on air quality monitoring systems
- Hold a Master of Mechanical Engineering + Bachelor of Science (Civil systems) from the University of Melbourne - Founder of the University of Melbourne's Rocketry team (ARES).
- Have been tutoring for 5+ years, and have conducted a 14-week rocketry workshop at Haileybury City.

PS. I also hold a Working With Children Check (Employee) as part of my work with Haileybury (city campus).

Cheers for reading through my profile - let me know if you have any questions at all!

Experience

I have a cumulative experience of around 5 years tutoring Year 8 to Year 12 students in maths (all levels), physics (all levels) and biology (all levels). I have been also tutoring university students for about 2 years now.

Additionally, in 2018, I was part of Haileybury City's afterschool program where I conducted workshops on (basic) rocket physics for a class of around 25 kids (Year 4 to Year 8). I have also conducted workshops at a tertiary level (2018 - 2022), with workshops ranging from rocketry to manufacturing drones.
