Perfect! Amir was very clear at explaining things
Perfect! Very clear and teaches topics in depth!
Perfect! Amir is an excellent civil engineering tutor. He is very patient when explaining difficult topics, keeps you engaged when asking questions and is very reliable. Would recommend him to any civil engineering students who need some extra help.
- Thank you for the great review, Harrison! I'm so pleased I could help you with those challenging civil engineering topics. You are a focused and determined student, which made our sessions very productive. I appreciate the recommendation!Amir's response :
Perfect! Amir has been a huge help with my engineering mechanics class. He has supported me with technical assignments and applied maths problems that form the foundation of the subject. He takes the time to explain the principles clearly and then guides you step by step through solving the problems. He makes sure you understand the reasoning behind each solution instead of just giving the answer. If you’re studying engineering and need help with mechanics and maths problems, I highly recommend Amir. He makes challenging concepts much easier to understand and apply.
- Anthony, thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure working with you. Your dedication to not just getting the answer, but understanding the reasoning behind it, is what makes you such a great student. I'm thrilled I could help clarify those foundational engineering mechanics and applied math principles. Keep up that excellent work!Amir's response :
Perfect! Amir has been an outstanding mentor for my son during his Year 12 HSC Engineering Studies. His expert guidance, clear explanations, and supportive approach made a real difference—building my son’s confidence and deepening his understanding. We’re truly grateful for Amir’s role in this journey and highly recommend him to others.
- I had the pleasure of teaching Byron a segment of Civil Engineering as part of Byron's preparation for the HSC exam. From the moment our lessons began, it was evident that Byron possesses a remarkable intellect. Byron absorbs new concepts with impressive speed and exhibits a keen understanding of complex engineering principles.Amir's response :
Perfect! Amir is an incredible Civil Engineering Teacher, he has very good knowledge and understanding in Civil Engineering to help students with their subjects for them to become better students and better engineers. 10/10 rating, would highly recommend.
- It was a pleasure teaching Jordan. We had two sessions covering engineering mathematics and geotechnical engineering. Jordan was well-prepared, engaged, and asked thoughtful questions throughout the lessons. He was respectful, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I appreciated his genuine interest in understanding the concepts in depth. Looking forward to working with him again!Amir's response :

Amir has been my tutor for the last couple of months, and I could not recommend a tutor enough. He has an engaging way of teaching and gives you multiple ways to think about a problem, providing you with the tools required to apply it yourself. He is also a great mentor and has given me advice on certain subjects I should be investing my time in to have the most success in my engineering course.
Amir was excellent in the first chemistry class. He explained concepts very clearly and has a strong focus on exam preparation. He ensures that students truly understand the material rather than just listening passively. He gives time to work through problems independently and then clearly points out specific mistakes, which is very helpful for improving accuracy and confidence. A very effective and supportive teacher.
