Adam is genuinely passionate about providing meaningful support to a student to help them do their very best. Working closely alongside every student, Adam personalises his approach to establish their strengths and concerns, as well as their personal goals. Adam then tailors each lesson to improve these strengths and minimise concerns whilst working steadily towards the student's defined goals.
Adam prepares carefully for each lesson and aims to clarify the student's understanding of the essentials while extending their knowledge far beyond the basics. In doing so, Adam creates an informal yet hardworking environment.
Of paramount importance to Adam is his students' enjoyment of their subject, as he believes this is key to success. To ensure this, Adam fosters critical thinking and encourages students to engage deeply.
Adam also imparts the importance of rigorous organisational skills to his students, something that he believes is essential to effective work. Thus, he works to minimise the stress and maximise the enjoyment of schoolwork.
Adam lived the first eight years of his life in Cape Town, South Africa before moving to Sydney with his family. He attended his local primary school in St Ives, and moved to Sydney Grammar School at the beginning of Year 7. He loved his time at school and engaged deeply in varied disciplines, developing numerous interests, including a passion for literature, art (especially painting and photography), the life sciences, languages, music, and sport. Adam is continuing to study a wide range of subjects at university, with the aim of further developing his interests, alongside finding new ones.
Adam tutored me in French Continuers in year 12. Under his tutelage I was able to consistently rank 1st in my cohort for French and have been able to extend my level of French beyond the HSC curriculum. Adam’s genuine passion for the language and exceptional level of French translates into highly engaging and comprehensive lessons.
Adam has been teaching my daughter for 2 years. He is a amazing, confident and encouraging tutor. With his outstanding efforts, my daughter's Biology rankings are always within top 3 in her school. Her latest overall HSC school ranking is sitting on the top [student placed placed $1^\text{st}$ in candidature of 73 students]. We could not be happier. Adam's Biology class is enjoyable and thorough. The resources [are] comprehensive and easy to understand. It provides detailed preparation for the assessments and tests.We find Adam kind, understanding and flexible, which makes us full of appreciation.
