✅Experienced Engineering Tutor (PhD & Honours, Monash University) ✅Chemical Engineering University Tutor - Excel with Expert Guidance ✅Top-Scoring Chemical Engineering Tutor (PhD & Honours, Monash University) Hi, I'm Michael, a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor with a Doctoral degree (Ph.D) and a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Chemical Engineering, both from Monash University. My postgraduate research involved in-depth work with MATLAB coding and the mathematical modeling of physical engineering processes. This has equipped me with strong expertise in Transport Phenomena, numerical methods, and a wide range of Chemical Engineering subjects. I offer tutoring in the following (some) units, where I achieved excellent results: ENG1060: 86 ENG2005: 88 CHE2164/MEC2405: 92 CHE3165: 94 CHE3167: 89 CHE4162: 92 CHM1051: 95 CHM2735: 94 Are you looking to: • Effectively revise and consolidate your learning after the mid-semester break? • Overcome challenges in advanced chemical engineering topics or adapt to online learning? • Improve your understanding of assignments and enhance your time management skills for the semester? • Get a head start with pre-lecture preparation to excel in your upcoming courses? Book a session with me for tutoring that is: ✅ Personalised to YOUR individual learning style. ✅ Flexible, offering one-to-one sessions (on campus), and convenient online tutoring. ✅ Effective in small study groups of up to four students. Benefit from a FREE 15-minute introductory session! This allows us to connect, discuss your specific study needs, define your goals, and create a tailored study plan. My tutoring philosophy is to empower you to study smarter, not just harder (Are we going to spend few hours just for answering one question?). I aim to provide a deep understanding of Chemical Engineering concepts and share valuable tips for achieving strong results in your final assessments. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like more information. I'm here to help you succeed!

I was incredibly fortunate to have Kian Siang (Michael) as my tutor for CHE2162, CHE2164 and ENG1005. Before that I lost myself when solving the challenging engineering questions and wasted much time in ineffective revisions. I had asked plenty of ‘stupid’ questions during the tutorial session with him, but each time he was supportive and provided the guidance to study productively and keep focus on key topics. Michael possesses great patience, and a positive teaching style. Both professional attributes proved incredibly useful in setting me up for success throughout the unit whilst I prepared for the final exam. With his support i was able to achieve two HD and a D.

Kian Siang (Michael) delivered tutorial to me for ENG1090 and I started with about 20% knowledge of the unit. I had approximately nine sessions with Michael, before my final assessment. My goal at the start of the sessions was to pass the course unit, and after his tutoring, I received a high Credit in this unit! I definitely recommend Michael’s services to anyone who needs a tutor who is helpful, patient, and thorough.

Kian Siang (Michael) helped me through CHE3167 and CHE3161. He is highly knowledgeable and provides clear and succinct explanations. His tutoring style is excellent, utilizing time very efficiently. He also provided me with several valuable resources to study on my own time. He truly helped me grasp the foundational knowledge that I was struggling with, which often gets overlooked by university lecturers. He is an incredible teacher and mentor. I can't recommend Michael enough.

I was fortunate enough to have Michael as my tutor for over a year and he was instrumental in me being able to successfully pass my units. He was patient and attentive, and would adjust the tutoring sessions to best benefit my learning. His teaching style makes it easy to understand what is often unclear and hectic lecture notes. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone who is struggling with Chemical Engineering.
