An Oxbridge tutor is handsome fellow (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adonis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'handsome fellow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an oxbridge tutor is' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'oxbridge tutor' becomes 'don' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'don'+'is'='ADONIS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adonis that I've seen before include "Archetype of male beauty" , "Beautiful Greek youth" , "ideal man" , "Handsome youth - boy from Greek mythology" , "handsome lad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
