About Jacob

I grew up in Carlisle and went to the local state comprehensive. When I decided to apply to Cambridge, nobody at my school had been through the process, so I worked most of it out on my own. I got in, and I came out with a First and three university prizes, including one for the top ranked research project in my cohort. That experience is the reason I tutor, and it is why I treat admissions coaching as something worth doing properly rather than as a sideline.

My own research is on Antarctic fish. I look at how the proteins inside a species living in water close to freezing manage to keep working at temperatures that would shut down almost anything else. It sits somewhere between biochemistry, machine learning and climate science, and it is the kind of question with no textbook answer, which is exactly the sort of thinking an Oxbridge interview is designed to find. From October 2026 I begin a funded PhD in Cambridge's Engineering Department, working on how natural systems can be properly valued inside infrastructure decisions. So I have now been through Cambridge admissions twice, in two different faculties, and I teach and am taught in the supervision system every week.

Outside the lab I captained my college hockey team and coached university players, from complete beginners upwards. That is where I learned that explaining something well is a completely different skill from knowing it, and that patience matters more than cleverness. In 2026 I won first place out of sixty speakers at a national research conference, awarded for the clearest talk of the meeting.

I also do outreach with an underperforming state school, giving admissions guidance to students whose schools cannot provide it. I know what it is like to apply to Cambridge without anyone around you who knows how it works, and I take that part of the work seriously.

I hold a current Enhanced DBS check, I am registered as self-employed in the UK, and I am happy to provide references from current tutoring families and from my academic supervisors at Cambridge. I reply to messages quickly and I commit for a full academic year rather than a few sessions before an exam.

About the lesson

HOW I TEACH

Most students who are stuck in Physics or Maths can execute a method but cannot see why it works, which is exactly the gap that stops them handling unfamiliar problems in an exam. I took A star in both at A-Level and I now work quantitatively every day, building simulations and mathematical models professionally, so I teach these subjects as tools you reason with rather than procedures you reproduce.

Sessions run by having the student attempt problems slightly beyond their current reach while thinking aloud, with me resisting the urge to rescue them too early. That is uncomfortable at first and then it is not, and it is the only route to being able to start a question you have never seen. This is paired with specification coverage, mark scheme literacy and timed practice.

LESSON LENGTH

Standard lessons run 60 minutes. 90 minutes suits timed practice and longer multi-step problems. Every new student starts with a free 30 minute consultation to diagnose where the difficulty actually sits, which is often further back than the topic they asked about.

MY EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

Tutoring since 2022. A star in Mathematics and Physics at A-Level, Grade 9 in every GCSE. First Class MSci Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge, with three university prizes. Cambridge PhD researcher in the Engineering Department from October 2026 on a funded EPSRC studentship, working on quantitative modelling. Current Enhanced DBS check.

WHO THESE LESSONS ARE FOR

A-Level Physics and Maths students on AQA, OCR and Edexcel, in Year 12 or Year 13. Well suited to students targeting Engineering, Natural Sciences, Physics or Maths at a competitive university, and to anyone who is comfortable with routine questions but freezes on unfamiliar ones. Online anywhere, or in person near Cambridge.
