Physics, Mathematics, Oxbridge Applications
A First-Class Cambridge physicist and Oxford college lecturer who has led more than 40 Oxford undergraduate interviews, Adam teaches a structured, methodical approach to problem-solving.
Adam completed his undergraduate and Master’s degrees at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, graduating with First-Class Honours in 2016, and was a College Scholar and winner of three Peter May prizes. He achieved straight A*s at A-level at Ponteland School. He went on to a DPhil in Atomic and Laser Physics at the University of Oxford, researching predictions of quantum mechanics using ultracold atoms, and has published five papers in high-impact physics journals.
As a College Lecturer at Magdalen College, Oxford, Adam taught maths and physics on the Physics and Engineering Science degrees, and he has led more than 40 Oxford undergraduate interviews. He has tutored more than 200 hours of A-level Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths and Physics in person and online. He also taught Introduction to Oxbridge and Introduction to Natural Sciences courses for a leading Oxford and Cambridge summer school, and served as its Programme Director, running an eight-week programme for around 950 students.
Adam builds every lesson around the syllabus and uses past exam questions to improve technique and confidence, while encouraging students to explore beyond it. He believes in a structured approach to problem-solving, in exams and in demanding interviews alike, and aims to make his students methodical, versatile and confident.
