About Panduka

About Me – Your Expert Maths, Physics & Mechanical Engineering Tutor

Kia ora!

I’m Panduka, a passionate and highly experienced tutor specializing in Mathematics, Physics, and Mechanical Engineering. I hold a First-Class Master of Engineering (Hons) from Auckland University of Technology, along with a Washington Accord–accredited Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering.

Teaching has always been a part of my academic and professional journey. Over the years, I’ve taught students from Year 4 to university level, across New Zealand and internationally. I currently tutor through Kiwi English Academy, Kip McGrath and some other few institutes. I tutor privately through Superprof, where I proudly maintain a 4.9/5 rating based on student success and satisfaction.

What I Teach

Mathematics (Primary– Year13, NCEA Levels 1–3, All Topics)
Physics (Primary– Year13, All Topics)
Mechanical Engineering (BSc, Diploma & Higher Diploma levels)
– Engineering Mechanics
– Thermodynamics
– Fluid Mechanics
– Strength of Materials
– Mechanical Design
– Engineering Software (e.g., SolidWorks, Autocad)

My Teaching Approach

I believe that real understanding comes from clarity, not memorization. My lessons are:

Concept-focused – breaking down complex ideas into simple, clear explanations
Highly interactive – step-by-step reasoning, real-world examples, visual explanations
Confidence-building – helping students overcome fear of difficult subjects
Structured & personalized – tailored lesson plans for each learner’s level and goals
Assessment-ready – exam strategies, practice questions, and progress feedback

Whether you’re catching up, pushing for excellence, or preparing for assessments, I can help you get there.

Why Students Choose Me

Friendly, patient, and easy to understand
Strong engineering background gives depth to Maths & Physics explanations
Consistent track record of improving grades and boosting confidence
Flexible with scheduling
Clear communication with both students and parents

Let’s Work Together

If you’re looking for a tutor who cares about your success and makes learning enjoyable, I’d love to help you achieve your goals.

Send me a message and let’s begin your journey toward stronger skills, better grades, and real confidence in Maths, Physics, or Engineering!

About the lesson

️ About the Lesson – Mechanical Engineering

My Mechanical Engineering lessons are designed to support students at Diploma, Higher Diploma and Bachelor’s level, whether you need help with coursework, foundational understanding, or advanced topics.

Every lesson is customised to your programme requirements and your learning style. I can help you with:

Core mechanical engineering concepts

Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics & heat transfer

Statics, dynamics & mechanics of materials

Manufacturing and machine design

Engineering mathematics & modelling

CAD/CAE support (SolidWorks, Fusion 360 & others)

Assignments, exam prep and project guidance

Lessons are structured, step-by-step and concept driven — no memorising formulas without understanding! I focus on building intuition so you can solve real engineering problems confidently.

You can choose:
Topic-based teaching
Coursework support with detailed explanations
Pre-exam revision sessions
Project/Capstone guidance (theory + application)

Whether you’re aiming to pass, gain confidence, or push for top results, I’ll meet you at your level and help you develop the mindset and skills of a real engineer.

Engineering made practical. Concepts made simple. Results made achievable.

Panduka's response
Adithya is currently doing his diploma at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), and I’ve been working with him on Statics and Dynamics. He’s a very bright student who understands concepts quickly and is able to apply the theory confidently to solve problems.

What I really appreciate about Adithya is his dedication. He puts in genuine effort, asks thoughtful questions, and is always willing to work through challenging problems until he fully understands them. He doesn’t just aim for the answer, he wants to understand the reasoning behind it.

I’m really proud of the progress he’s making, and I’m looking forward to seeing him succeed in his studies and future engineering career.

My daughter is in Year 8, and she used to struggle a lot with math. She relied on short methods and memorization, which didn’t really help her understand the subject. But Panduka changed that! He explained the concepts clearly and focused on building a strong foundation. Now, she’s improving and gaining confidence in math. We’re so grateful for his support. I really recommend him.
