Teaching & STEM Tutoring

STEM & university support

Thermofluids and fluid mechanics at Oxford/Cambridge interview level — Buckingham Pi reduction, Moody/Reynolds pipe networks, and uncertainty propagation from the 3-hole probe note used in ECAT campaigns. Useful for revision, supervision-style guidance, and bridging lecture material to applied problems.

Admissions & applications

Guidance on competitive STEM applications to Oxford and Cambridge. I matriculated at St Anne’s after an MRes at the Whittle Laboratory; I draw on that pathway and on published engineering work, not off-the-shelf personal-statement advice. The Oxbridge lexicon covers terminology that often appears in college contexts.

Workshops & speaking

Seminars, faculty workshops, corporate training, and outreach on aerothermal topics, measurement practice, or quantitative methods. Programmes can use the fluid mechanics curriculum, measurement methods article, and CFD validation article.

• Corporate workshops — half-day aerothermal or instrumentation programmes · workshop enquiry
• Faculty seminars & keynotes — conferences and department talks · speaking enquiry
• Corporate STEM training — graduate intake modules from open curriculum · professional programs

Engineering tutoring

Mechanical, aerospace, and thermofluids for university courses and competitive applications — dimensional analysis, pipe networks, similarity scaling, and measurement uncertainty from the probe uncertainty note and fluid mechanics curriculum. Backed by peer-reviewed aerothermal research and applied projects on this site.

Physics tutoring

University and A Level physics — mechanics, fluids, thermodynamics, and quantitative reasoning in the style of Oxford interview problems. For practice, see the curriculum modules, calculators, and dimensionless groups reference.

Mathematics tutoring

Calculus, mechanics, and admissions-style mathematics — estimation, dimensional consistency, and structured working rather than memorised templates. Useful between A Level and first-year engineering, and alongside physics for admissions tests.

Oxford & Cambridge engineering admissions

Support for competitive STEM applications — college terminology in the Oxbridge lexicon, realistic scope-setting, and interview-style quantitative reasoning. See admissions & applications above for background on my Oxford pathway.

ESAT, PAT & TMUA preparation

Prepare for ESAT, PAT, and TMUA with first-principles physics and mathematics rather than memorised exam techniques. Develop the quantitative reasoning needed for competitive STEM admissions through dimensional analysis, structured problem-solving, and the curriculum modules. The ESAT Worked Solutions & Preparation Hub brings together complete past papers, fully worked solutions, exam strategies, and a growing collection of practice questions in one place.

University interview preparation

Oxbridge technical interviews reward clear assumptions, sensible estimates, and consistent units — habits built in the problem-solving procedures module and Oxbridge lexicon. Read the open resources first; capacity for new students is limited.

Fluid mechanics foundations

1. Fluid mechanics curriculum — dimensional analysis, then viscous flow
2. Engineering calculators — units and property lookups
3. Probe uncertainty note — error propagation in practice

Admissions & quantitative reasoning

1. Oxbridge lexicon — college terminology
2. Articles — reference writing (pilot)
3. Teaching enquiry — after you have read the open material

Aerothermal research & instrumentation

1. Publications — research themes
2. Instrumentation & measurement — probe methods
3. Turbomachinery deterioration — HPT research theme
4. Technical notes — instrumentation cluster
5. Dimensionless groups reference — Pi groups for similarity
6. Aerothermal engineering methods — experiment and CFD workflows
7. HPT deterioration project — flagship experimental programme
8. Calculators — property lookups and planned probe utilities

What subjects does Lucas Rey teach?

University STEM with emphasis on fluid mechanics, thermofluids, physics, mathematics, and quantitative reasoning for engineering — tied to the aerothermal research published on lucasrey.com.

Do you prepare students for Oxford and Cambridge admissions?

Yes — competitive STEM applications, interview-style quantitative problems, and college terminology. Start with the Oxbridge lexicon and fluid mechanics curriculum; sessions begin after a teaching enquiry once scope is clear.

Can you help with ESAT, PAT, or TMUA preparation?

Yes, from first-principles physics and mathematics rather than drill sheets. ESAT, PAT, and TMUA-style questions benefit from dimensional analysis and the curriculum modules. Use the teaching contact form with your assessment and timeline.

How do I book a lesson?

Send a teaching enquiry. After we have spoken, I send a personal link to the student portal to schedule sessions.

Are there free resources before enrolling?

Yes — the fluid mechanics curriculum, calculators, technical notes, Oxbridge lexicon, and articles stay on the site as open learning material.

Do you offer physics and mathematics tutoring?

Yes — university and A Level physics and mathematics, with emphasis on mechanics, estimation, and dimensional analysis. I use the open curriculum and Oxford engineering research, not generic worksheets.

Can Lucas Rey help with Oxford engineering interview preparation?

Yes — first-principles problem-solving, estimation, and technical reasoning for Oxford engineering admissions, using the Oxbridge lexicon, curriculum modules, and published research on this site.
