About Adam

Hi! I'm Adam, and I would love to work with you. I am a gap year student living, working, rowing and running in the North East of England. I have been in state schools all my life, and hold accessibility to education as a core belief - after taking a gap year to attempt becoming a 2-time Oxbridge Medicine reject, my aim in tutoring is to help as many people as possible reach their full potential.

Beyond academics, I love sport. I'm usually running on the local moors, or more likely out rowing/coxing on the Tyne. In fact, rowing has become a bit of an obsession... I race internationally and have my own independent coaching start-up. Otherwise, I'm usually having a nap or planning various travel exploits.

I pride myself on patience, understanding and empathy, having held several safeguarding roles in the past - mental health is a keen interest - and in both tutoring and coaching, I believe cooperation with the student is essential. We will start with whatever base you're at and we'll help you set, work towards and achieve goals you may not see as possible right now. Please get in touch, and we can get started right away!

About the lesson

Lessons last up to 90 minutes, and whilst the specific subject is co-ordinated with the student beforehand, generally lessons will work as follows.

For UCAT:
- Review of the student's recent progress and the pre-agreed revision plan
- Structured walkthrough of key areas of weakness, techniques to develop and places to improve
- Completion of guided questions in this area
- Review and feedback of these questions
- Adjusting plan and setting next steps

As a gap year student, I sat my A-levels last summer and took the UCAT twice, after declining my first round of offers to give me more time to mature. My GCSEs were 9 9s, my A-Levels (Biology, Chemistry, Maths) were A*A*A* with A* in EPQ. My UCAT scores, each achieved with 6 weeks revision, were 2370 B1 last year and 2560 B2 this year. Although I haven't tutored formally yet, I have 5 years experience teaching rowing to Y9+ and have my own rowing coaching business, as well as rowing internationally.

So the thing about Adam isn’t just that he’s an academic star (straight 9s, straight A*s, top 1% on the UCAT) but that he’s really clear and patient and thoughtful and actually cares about people and helping them understand and develop. You’ll be in good hands
