Professor Alan Hartley

Retired Professor of Mechanical Engineering from Southgate University Perth, with a PhD in Thermodynamics from Midlands University London. I tutor advanced physics, engineering mechanics, and thermodynamics for university students and high-achieving Year 11–12 students.

I specialise in students who want depth — not just exam technique, but genuine understanding of why the physics works.

University-level engineering

I work from your unit outline and lecture notes. We cover the theory properly first, then move to past exam papers. I've been examining engineering papers for 20 years — I know exactly how marks are allocated.
