About Adam
Adam Knowles
Mathematics Specialist
Adam has over 20 years of experience teaching Mathematics in leading international schools across the UK, China, Singapore, and Portugal.
He has held roles including IGCSE Mathematics Coordinator, Instructional Coach, and Deputy Head of Mathematics, and has extensive experience teaching both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. His specialist areas include IB HL Applications & Interpretation and IB SL Analysis & Approaches, alongside Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics.
Having worked with students across a wide range of academic pathways and ability levels, Adam believes that the strongest mathematical performance comes from deep conceptual understanding rather than memorisation or exam tricks. His lessons are designed to develop confident, independent thinkers who can tackle unfamiliar problems, explain their reasoning, and see the connections between different areas of mathematics.
Adam previously worked at UWCSEA Singapore, St. Julian’s School in Lisbon, Dulwich College Shanghai, and King's Worcester.
