About Kian
Strong Mathematical Foundation and Academic Excellence
Hi, I'm Kian. I graduated in 2023 and am now studying medical science and physiology at the University of Sydney. I am looking forward to helping my students develop the right strategies to succeed academically, and more importantly to feel passionate and confident about studying.
Engaging Learning Through Practical Application
As an active member of both robotics and multimedia clubs, Kian has honed his ability to use real-world examples when explaining abstract ideas. By applying mathematical principles to robotics projects—such as programming with Arduino—he shows students how maths connects to technology and everyday problem-solving. This hands-on approach not only deepens understanding but also sparks curiosity and engagement among learners.
Clear Communication and Supportive Guidance
Kian is dedicated to fostering confidence in his students by creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. He draws on experience communicating complex information in straightforward ways, adapting explanations for different learning styles. With relevant certifications—including a Working with Children Check—parents can trust that Kian prioritises safety while guiding students towards academic growth in maths.
