Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I like helping people understand topics, especially helping someone reach the moment where a concept clicks and it becomes ingrained.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My main strength would be explaining fundamentals. I have a strong understanding of maths and my strength is finding ways to explain concepts that suit different students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I would say tailoring teaching to different students and improving students fundamental understanding of a topic. Helping a student's fundamental understanding allows them to answer tricky curveball questions as well as the usual exercises.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Tristan
Strong Maths Background with Real Problem-Solving Experience
Tristan is a mechanical engineering student with consistently high results across advanced and extension maths and physics, giving him a solid foundation to support school students in these subjects. At university, he has worked on hands-on engineering projects such as designing a small-scale hydraulic engine and a remote-controlled digger, which helps him explain abstract maths and physics ideas in practical, relatable ways. This tutor is well placed to help students not just “do the steps”, but understand why methods work.
Experienced Tutor Who Knows How to Teach Clearly
Tristan has worked as a music tutor for children and adults, teaching both theory and instruments including violin, piano and guitar. In this role he planned lessons, scheduled sessions, and adjusted his teaching style to suit different ages and learning speeds. He is used to breaking complex skills into manageable pieces and giving precise, constructive feedback. This experience transfers directly to explaining tricky maths and English concepts in a calm, step-by-step way that builds confidence.
Engaging, Organised and Supportive Mentor
With several years as an orchestral violinist, including leading a group of younger players on an overseas tour, Tristan brings patience, leadership and a steady, encouraging presence to his tutoring. He is highly organised from balancing demanding engineering studies with work and music commitments, so he helps students set realistic goals, plan study time and stay on track. Parents can expect a tutor who is reliable, easy to communicate with and genuinely invested in each student’s progress.

Fractions need some work and started to struggle a bit as algebra got harder
Topics were starting to come back to him from memory, and when they did it went well. Also fairly confident with geometry

General Algebra skills still need lots of work. Also translating English to maths needs work
Was more confident this lesson and picked up on some concepts quickly (BEDMAS)
