About Kusal

I’m a Mechanical Engineer/Roboticist specializing in computer vision, machine learning, and real-time localization for autonomous systems.

As a former university lecturer/Teaching Assistant/tutor, I have over 8 years of experience teaching in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering subjects (Mechatronics, Controls, CAD, programming, etc.) to undergraduate students.

I enjoy bridging theory and application, whether in the classroom or the field.

I believe that learning should be fun, not a burden. Therefore, I try to make my teaching sessions fun and engaging.

About the lesson

I only offer one-on-one tutoring because every student is unique and learns differently. My lessons are personalized to suit your pace, comfort, and strengths. I also adapt based on the subject content and even the style of your professor, so no two lessons are ever the same. Think of it like a Rolls-Royce: high quality, fully customized, and built just for you.

I use simple, real-world examples to explain complex topics. For instance, I once used eating a slice of pizza to explain Gauss’s theorem on curvature, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood to introduce procedural programming.

My method is simple: I begin with what you already know, strengthen the fundamentals with clear examples and simple problems, and then guide you step by step into advanced concepts, often without you even realizing it. The best moment for me is when students discover that the problems they’ve solved are actually some of the hardest ones, and the confidence and pride on their faces make my day.

I typically tutor First-Year Engineering and Mechanical/Mechatronics undergraduates, but I’ve also worked successfully with Civil and Electrical Engineering students.

And if you’ve ever felt like you’ll “never get it,” don’t worry. Give me a chance, and I’ll make sure you understand things more clearly than ever before.

Kusal has been a constant source of support when I did my engineering degree from 2019 to 2024 at MUN. He is one of the best teachers I’ve had for math and control systems and is absolutely worth all the time you spend learning under him! 11/10 recommend :)
