About Adam

Adam holds a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), a top-ranked global institution in STEM fields. His passion for mathematics developed early, leading to multiple distinctions in the competitive Chinese Mathematical Olympiad across middle and high school—a testament to his advanced problem-solving skills and deep conceptual foundation.

As an Artificial Intelligence Researcher at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Adam applies fundamental mathematical concepts—including mathematical logic, advanced algebra, and calculus—to solve complex modern algorithmic challenges. He believes that a strong foundation in core math is the ultimate key to mastering other analytical disciplines like Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science.

Teaching Philosophy

Adam believes STEM success relies on genuine interest, smart practice, and proper guidance. Instead of rote memorization, he focuses on deep conceptual understanding—teaching students the “why” behind complex formulas and how mathematical ideas connect. Rather than endless repetitive drills, Adam uses customized practice problems to target individual weak spots and cover all potential exam variations. By embedding challenging problem-solving into every weekly session, he helps students build the accuracy, speed, and confidence needed to tackle high-stakes exams effortlessly.
