About Sebastian
Strong academic foundation in maths and problem-solving
Sebastian is currently studying a Bachelor of Civil Engineering, a degree that demands strong skills in maths, logical thinking and problem-solving. This tutor brings that analytical mindset into tutoring, helping students break complex questions into simple, manageable steps. Having recently completed senior secondary school, he understands the current curriculum and what teachers are looking for in assessments. Sebastian is well placed to support both primary and high school students in strengthening their maths skills and building confidence with challenging topics.
Clear communicator who connects well with young learners
With experience in a busy customer-facing role, Sebastian is used to explaining things clearly, staying calm under pressure and adapting his communication style to different people. He applies this in tutoring by checking for understanding, rephrasing explanations and encouraging students to ask questions. This tutor focuses on building a friendly, relaxed learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, trying again and gradually taking more ownership of their work in both Maths and English.
Bilingual support and practical, real-world examples
As a native English speaker who is also fluent in Mandarin, Sebastian can support students from bilingual or Mandarin-speaking homes, especially those who may benefit from occasional clarification in their first language. He enjoys using real-world examples from engineering and everyday life to show why maths concepts matter, which often helps students stay engaged. This tutor aims to build not just marks, but genuine understanding, so that students can apply what they learn beyond the classroom.
