"Really great & nice tutor who's organized and knows the best way to communicate over online sessions. Made the plan clear and simple to me, making it easier to understand the concepts and went through step by step explaining how he got the final answer. Would definitely recommend to other students!"

"Lachlan helped me achieve a 95% for my physics mid trimester test at university. I had been just passing before I contacted him, and never thought I would get a 95.He has a great teaching style, is kind, and doesn't make you feel like your questions are silly. He is able to break down concepts into small manageable steps, I have a couple of sessions a week and it helps me so much to have that extra support. If you're struggling with your classes, reach out to him, he will likely help you immensely."

"Lachlan has been an amazing help to me! He explains things in a way that I understand and makes things a lot easier than they seem with the way he approaches questions and explains them. I wouldn't have been able to pass my assignments without him, highly recommend!"

"Lachlan's tutoring has been really helpful! He explains concepts well and it able to break things down (when the lecturers don't). We get through a lot in the online tutoring sessions, yet he slows it down when I am finding questions/concepts challenging. Highly recommend!!"

"Lachlans responding quickly and answered all my question before we booked in a time. The first session was excellent and my son came away feeling positive and confident towards maths and physics. Lachlans helped so much we have booked in future sessions."

"Lachlan has exceeded my expectations out of what I would get out of tutoring and how much I would learn - particularly correspondence, which I was reluctant to do opposed to in-person tutoring, but WOW, I have had both types of tutors and finding online tutoring WAY more time-efficient, easier to understand, communicate. Lachlan is encouraging, a great communicator has a relatable way of explaining tricky content! I would recommend and will be continuing to use him through all my physics struggles! Another good point as to why a great tutor - he somehow makes the confusion that can be physics, seem so simple, leaving me to think "why didn't I think/see of that.""

"Lachlan is amazing. My daughter had a very negative relationship with maths. Lachlan has helped her turn that on it's head. In a few short weeks she feels more confident and is enjoying the lessons, more importantly she has begun to see where her holes are and why they are a problem, all because of her amazing tutor. Thank you so much"

"Lachlan is fantastic. He really understands and connects with my 17 year old. He’s more than willing to set homework and most importantly he motivates.My son enjoys his lessons and comes away enthusiastic about his learning again. What more could you ask for… I would recommend him to anyone. Great job Lachlan."

"Lachlan came to our rescue after our daughter was affected by the recent A Level chaos. He fitted her in at very short notice to tutor her in both chemistry and maths. She is impressed with his knowledge, she can mention a topic and he is able to go straight to it and his tutoring style suits her very well. I would highly recommend him."

"Lachlan has stepped in to help my son in Year 13 with maths. In just 4 sessions, he helped my son achieve the required grade for his predictions. My son comes out of each session saying it was excellent and has told me how good he thinks Lachlan is as a tutor. Lachlan keeps me informed of progress in the sessions. Lachlan's extensive experience of virtual tutoring is part of the key to his success. Honestly I could not ask for more. Highly recommended."

"Absolutely amazing tutor. I went from a grade C to a grade A in A level maths and I never thought that could happen. Lachlan helped me so much through an exhausting gap year, even after hearing exams were cancelled and I didn’t know where I was going to sit them as I’m a private candidate. However once I found a private centre and my exams were coming up close, Lachlan made sure I understood everything and would try different methods of explaining if I didn’t understand something. If you’re looking for a tutor go for Lachlan!!!"

Meet your tutor,

Lachlan Sims

  • I first began tutoring in 2015, after graduating from my high school in Perth as Head Boy. I had just begun my degree at UWA (BSc in Physics & Maths) with the goal of becoming a high school teacher, but once I began tutoring, I realised it was perfect for me! It quickly became a massive part of my life as I discovered it to be extremely rewarding and exciting, with new challenges every day. My favourite part of being a tutor is that ‘eureka’ moment, and being able to create those is what drives me in my passion for helping others. With so much enthusiasm for my work, I quickly began working with organisations to help less fortunate students - through the DCPFS (Department of Child Care and Family Services, now known as Department of Communities) I worked with foster kids and also received formal training.

    I first tried online tuition in 2019, and became enthralled with how much better the quality of the lesson was, and finally transformed to fully online in 2020 as I moved to Wales for 2 years and studied at Cardiff University as well!

  • I have a decade of experience with HSC, VCE, QCE, and WACE. All at the highest levels in each case.

    I have 6+ years experience with AQA, Edexcel, OCR/WJEC exam boards in both maths and physics.

    I have tutored students from Oxford University (England), Cardiff University (Wales), UNSW, Sydney University, Melbourne University , UWA, Curtin University, Queensland Universities, Monash University and more - including face to face and online students.

    I have now been tutoring full time for 9 years and currently help students from year 7 all the way to university with Maths, Physics, Statistics, Engineering, Computer Science, and more!

  • Q1. How do I show you my working out that I’m writing in front of me after you ask me a question?

    Firstly: you don’t need to! Just reading out your working is more than sufficient - I will follow along with your working when I ask you a question and write it all down in the note to ensure that we’re on the same page.

    But in a pinch you can simply hold your work up to your webcam.

    Q2. How can I send you my questions for us to work through together?

    By email during or before the session, or simply upload the documents while booking! You can even just send screenshots through the chat on Zoom.
