Richard E. Blaine

Real-world problems don't respect subject boundaries—neither should education. I'm a Cambridge-educated Aerospace Engineer with 15+ years pioneering interdisciplinary STEM education. As Director of Oxbridge Masterclasses Ltd and a registered STEM Ambassador, I help transform forward-thinking schools from subject-siloed institutions into innovation hubs through curriculum-integrated project-based learning where Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Technology and Engineering converge to solve authentic problems and prepare students for the interdisciplinary demands of the modern workplace.

What I Do

STEM Workshops

I design and deliver hands-on, curriculum-aligned workshops that bridge the gap between theory and practice, making abstract concepts in Maths, Physics, and Computer Science tangible and exciting for students.

Makerspace Development

I partner with schools to design, manage, and run dedicated Makerspaces. These become hubs of innovation for project-based learning, providing the resources for students to design, build, and test their ideas.

Educational Software

Leveraging a background in tech, I develop custom web applications and digital tools specifically designed to solve problems for teachers and schools, enhancing both administrative efficiency and the learning experience.

Specialist Tuition

Through Oxbridge Masterclasses Ltd, I provide elite one-to-one tuition for STEM subjects and Oxbridge entrance, with a proven track record of helping students achieve outstanding results and gain admission to top universities.

Testimonials

I would definitely recommend it... it covers a broad range of topics, from ethics, to physics to coding so it would be very useful for the girls who aren't sure yet of what part of STEM interests them.

Student Feedback via Mr. Dyson

Francis Holland School, SW1

Richard and his team ran a Rocket Workshop for our Year 6 pupils. It was a great success and the boys still talk about it. It was very professionally and competently managed. I can heartily recommend him and his team.

Head of Science, Summerfields, Oxford

Richard's insights and passion gave my daughter and son a different perspective on the sciences. From that they developed a real passion for sciences to the point that my daugnter has represented her school in several maths and science competitions...and wants to work for NASA.

Parent, STEM Workshops

I really enjoyed it, as it combined all my passions: coding, electronics and physics...I had never anticipated the complexity of drone physics and it really furthered my interest in aerodynamies and systems and control. I would love to participate in another course like it, as I enjoyed every minute of it.

Student

Well done Richard for organising a course that is really different from many others on offer for that age group. I feel there was really the need of something for the pre-teen, teenagers that could make use of their knowledge in a practical and fun way. Thank you!

A brilliant series of workshops that my two children have thoroughly enjoyed. It has inspired their love of STEM subjects and both now wish to pursue these at University.
