About Sidney
I’m a 4th year maths PhD student (University of Edinburgh) from Canberra, Australia. I chose this path because I was inspired by my year 12 maths teacher. His classes were fantastic: he offered intuition and clarity in a personable manner, with the occasional anecdote or interesting reference. It showed me that you can set people up to cruise through exams in an entertaining and engaging way.

With 4 years' experience tutoring both undergraduate and master's level students, I've learnt to break down complex topics into understandable chunks. My recent role lecturing a cohort of 2000 first-year students allowed me to adapt and cater to diverse learning styles. My main aim is to provide students with intuition. Formulae then become self-evident, and much easier to remember and use. I did maths and philosophy in undergrad: I don’t believe that there are “arts” people, and “science” people. Instead, I think that maths (problem-solving) is fundamental to us as humans—and almost always, someone who “hates” maths just never had a good teacher. I’m doing my small part to change that!

I've known Sidney since the beginning of 2021, where I had him as my tutor for a master's course in applied and computational mathematics. Sidney was (and still is) enthusiastic, patient, and very well-versed in various topics in applied mathematics and physical sciences. He was always well prepared for his tutoring sessions and passionate about making sure his students understood important concepts covered in class. I am very confident Sidney will be of great value to students who are looking for a great tutor on this platform.
I know Sidney from doing my PhD in Mathematics with him in Sydney, Australia, and now in Edinburgh, UK.
Sid is very kind, super patient, and a class act. He is well-spoken and can explain and simplify complex ideas into understandable examples.
Doing a PhD in Mathematics, Sid is well-versed in many areas of mathematics, ranging from applied mathematics to pure mathematics. Moreover, since his PhD is in computational mathematics, his programming skills are also top-notch.View more recommendations
