Your Tutor

An Oxford physicist turned management consultant turned teacher.

Principia is taught by someone who has applied first-principles thinking to solve real problems across physics, engineering, and business strategy — and now teaches others to do the same.

From Oxford tutorials to global consulting

Trained in the Oxford Physics tutorial system — the same one-to-one Socratic method that has shaped some of the world's sharpest analytical minds for centuries. Every tutorial is a live exercise in defending ideas, stress-testing assumptions, and building arguments from first principles.

After Oxford, moved into management consulting at a leading UK firm, working with senior leadership teams across Europe to decompose complex strategic challenges into actionable plans. The frameworks learned there — structured problem decomposition, hypothesis-driven analysis, MECE thinking — are now core to the Principia method.

High-stakes problem solving

Extended experience in systems engineering across aviation and rail, working on projects where analytical rigour isn't optional — it's safety-critical. The discipline of breaking complex systems into manageable components, tracing dependencies, and thinking about failure modes translates directly to how Principia teaches students to approach any challenge.

Teaching Philosophy
"The best tutoring doesn't give you answers. It gives you the ability to find answers to questions you haven't encountered yet."

Every Principia session is built around a simple premise: if you can decompose a problem, reason through it structurally, and articulate your thinking clearly — you can handle anything. University admissions, case interviews, or challenges that don't have a textbook. The method is the same. The confidence comes from mastering it.
