Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
My favourite aspect of tutoring is the opportunity to connect with students and sharing my understanding and past experiences in the courses that they are learning. This is reflected by my ongoing experience as a casual academic at UNSW's Computer Science and Engineering, where I deliver resources and provide feedback for students homework and classwork.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Some of my strengths involve being communicative, which is an aspect that I maintain and demonstrate throughout my casual academic role. I am also well-organised where I prepare and review the course and my own resources before sharing them with my classes.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Some important things a tutor could do for a student is to ensure they can better understand the topics taught, which can be accomplished by providing and practicing examples questions, whilst also maintaining communication and engagement to strengthen their motivation.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

About Nathaniel
Experienced Academic Mentor with Strong Maths & Tech Background
Nathaniel is a computer science and mathematics student who understands how to break down complex ideas into simple, step-by-step explanations. Through his studies, he has worked extensively with logical reasoning, problem-solving and structured thinking – all of which translate directly into clear maths and technology support for school students. He knows what it feels like to be challenged by new concepts and uses that empathy to guide students patiently from confusion to confidence, especially in topics like algebra, logic and introductory programming.
Hands-On Teaching as a University Tutor and Trainer
This tutor currently teaches university students as a casual academic and teaching assistant, where he designs and delivers tutorial activities and learning resources. He regularly runs sessions that involve explaining new concepts, leading discussions and checking understanding through practical examples. As a training lead in a student tech society, he has also mentored groups of beginners in JavaScript and web fundamentals, planning sessions, answering questions in real time and adapting explanations for different ability levels – skills that transfer directly to tutoring primary and high school students.
Engaging, Real-World Learning with a Creative Edge
Nathaniel brings real project experience into his teaching, such as co-leading a team to build a planning app and mentoring others through interface design using tools like Figma. He often uses visual examples, simple interface mock-ups and everyday scenarios to make abstract ideas more concrete for younger learners. Parents can expect a tutor who is organised, approachable and able to connect school content with real-world technology, helping students see why what they are learning in maths and computing actually matters.
