Physics, Maths, Engineering, STEM Admissions
An Oxford DPhil researcher in Engineering Science with a Cambridge MRes, Lucas teaches Physics, Maths and Engineering and prepares students for ESAT, PAT, TMUA, MAT and STEP.
Lucas is an aerothermal engineer and researcher at the University of Oxford’s Thermofluids Institute, completing a DPhil in Engineering Science sponsored by Rolls-Royce. He holds an MRes in Future Propulsion and Power from the University of Cambridge and MSc and BSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cagliari (110/110 cum laude), and is a Chartered Professional Engineer in Italy.
Lucas has over ten years of teaching and mentoring experience, from GCSE, A-level and IB to undergraduate engineering, with particular strength in mechanics, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. He prepares students for the ESAT, PAT, TMUA, MAT and STEP, has written complete ESAT mock papers for an admissions consultancy, and advises on engineering course choice, personal statements and Oxbridge interviews. He has lectured on the Oxford Study Abroad Programme, tutored undergraduate fluid mechanics in Spain and marked for the British Physics Olympiad. He teaches in English, Italian and Spanish.
Lucas emphasises method over memorisation, so students understand why an approach works and where it breaks down, and builds the clear reasoning and composure with unfamiliar problems that examiners and interviewers reward.
