Brian Pearson
Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Hons.)
Master of Teaching (Secondary) (Currently Enrolled)
Hello, my name is Brian. I am an experienced and passionate tutor. I have been tutoring locally on the Sunshine Coast for over 8 years, working with students from Year 1 through to Year 12, as well as students studying at university.
​
I believe a good education is fundamental to the growth of students as it links directly to future career paths. My personal tutoring service provides students with the confidence, skills and motivation to understand concepts and quickly develop and enhance their knowledge and skill level. A tutoring session usually includes reviewing and expanding on class work and homework, organising and preparing for exams as well as understanding the concepts of and assisting with assignments. The needs of the student are the number one priority of the session.
​
My sessions are generally $90/hr. As some students prefer to work with others, small group sessions can also be arranged at discounted rates.
