ParentRonald’s sessions are fun, energetic, discussion-based, and full of laughter, creating a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, thinking critically, and engaging deeply with Mathematics and Physics concepts.

Mechanical Engineering StudentAs my Thermodynamics and Applied Mechanics tutor, Mr. Ronald helped me through my toughest academic challenges. He made sure I understood the basics, theory, and how to apply them to real problems. He taught at my pace, building on what I already knew, and exposed me to different question types to boost exam confidence. His simple, clear methods changed the way I approached problems. I would recommend him to other students because he knows what he is doing, and he will not lead you astray.

Mechanical Engineering StudentEven though I was doing fairly well in Engineering Statics, working with Ronald as my Engineering Statics tutor helped me spot the small mistakes that could’ve caused problems later. He picked up on things like rushing through calculations or doubting my own steps. His clear explanations and calm approach gave me more confidence in how I tackled questions. I ended up learning more than I expected—even in the areas I thought I already understood.

Mechanical Engineering StudentMr Ronald didn’t just teach me the content, he helped me build confidence in myself. He made sure I was prepared and believed in my ability to do well, especially before my Thermodynamics exams. If you’re slacking or not putting in the work, he will tell you straight up. The examples he provided were relevant and helped me to understand concepts better.

Mechanical Engineering StudentMr Ronald is a great tutor in Engineering Statics. He explains concepts clearly step by step and makes sure I understand the material. He provides question problems to practice, based on varying levels of difficulty. He expects answers which motivates me to put in the work and apply what I have learned. He is always willing to assist at any time even outside our scheduled sessions. His feedback is not biased; he tells it as it is.

StudentMr Ronald brings his own material for me to work through and it helps me a lot. I enjoy our tutoring physics sessions. I have found that I am in an environment where I need to think and work a lot more on my own, and follow through with the work covered.
