My Background
I'm a Cambridge Engineering graduate with top marks in papers including Information Theory and Modelling Risk. Over the past three years, I have built my method around a data-driven, reasoning-first approach to problem-solving, overseeing a team of tutors who help students excel in Maths, Physics, and university admissions.
I rowed for Cambridge University Boat Club for three years and won the Lightweight Boat Race against Oxford. I have also competed nationally and internationally, including at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. This experience taught me structure, discipline, and focus, qualities I look for in our tutors and bring to how we run the programme. Our aim is to help students build confidence not only for exams but for thinking rigorously in any context.
All tutors hold a verified, up-to-date standard DBS check.
Our Approach
We believe real understanding comes from mastering first principles and problem-solving. Our sessions emphasise clarity, logical structure, and adaptive feedback, helping students build both technical strength and self-belief. Having experienced the Oxbridge admissions process myself, I set the standards our tutors follow as they guide students through every step, from assessments like ESAT to interviews.
Outside Oxbridge Practice
Outside Oxbridge Practice, I stay active through rowing and long-distance cycling, including a solo ride from Budapest to London. My rowing experience at Cambridge taught me about discipline, structure, and resilience, qualities I bring to both the programme and our students' preparation.
