Zac S
Education Consultant in Advanced Mathematics
Zac is a final year mathematician at the University of Cambridge, currently completing Part III (fourth year) of the Mathematical Tripos at Trinity College with a consistent record of high First Class Honours. In recognition of his academic achievement, he was elected as a Senior Scholar of Trinity College. His academic interests lie in geometry, topology, and theoretical physics, with a particular focus on gauge theory, general relativity, and quantum field theory. He is currently writing an essay titled Monopoles in Yang-Mills Theory, exploring the consequences of non-trivial topologies in gauge theories.
With over 300 hours of experience, Zac tutors students preparing for university admissions tests, including STEP, TMUA, and ESAT, as well as university interviews, drawing on his own experience of the process to help students develop the thinking and communication these universities look for. Rather than focusing on procedural methods, his teaching centres on building genuine problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of mathematical ideas. Drawing on his own success in mathematical Olympiads, Zac also tutors competition mathematics, helping students develop the creativity and rigour needed for advanced problem solving.
Zac has completed computational mathematical research in fluid dynamics, electromagnetism and general relativity. He has proficiency in python, MATLAB and C++ and is particularly interested in building mathematical physics simulations. To date, his work includes developing a raytracer in Kerr spacetime to simulate light bending around a black hole, as well as a 2D Navier-Stokes fluid dynamic solver.
