James - GCSE Student 2021/22 'Sam was great! He was incredibly organised and efficient. I was struggling with some of the content like vectors at school but he made it simple. We tracked my results across time and it was really satisfying to see the line trend upwards. I was very happy to get an 8 in the final exams.'

Professional, friendly and experienced tutor. My focus is providing engaging and informative tutorials to improve your grade.
◉ My Teaching Strategy: Track everything and target weaknesses, working through past paper questions to break them down into a step-by-step process. This enables you to attain an understanding of concepts from first principles, which reduces the need for memorisation and sets you up to study maths at higher levels. I frequently ask students questions in order to deepen and confirm their understanding.
◉ Explaining Complex Topics: To help students understand difficult concepts thoroughly, I typically approach questions from three angles: visualisation, intuition and pure maths. This trio of perspectives helps those with different learning styles grasp challenging concepts and provides a deeper understanding of the topic in question. Wherever possible we link concepts back to the real world to make lessons more relevant, engaging and memorable.
◉ Software and Tech: I use three platforms for teaching: lessons are conducted on zoom where we also use Bitpaper, a premium web-based interactive whiteboard. Bitpaper is an essential element of lessons: the whiteboard allows us to write on the same space in real time. This makes the lesson 10x more engaging and productive for you - I'm a big believer that hands on practice is the best way to learn. Finally we use google sheets for analysis and tracking results.
◉ Tracking I use google sheets to record 3 key details: - Past paper performance => mark, grade, grade boundaries, whether the paper was timed and closed book, the date it was completed and a link to the marked paper. - Mistakes analysis => a breakdown of where marks were lost by content category. - Solutions => a 'cheat sheet' of answers to the most common errors made by the student.

Perfect! Sam explained a theory so well, my son instantly understood it and was able to apply it. That’s a good skill!!
Perfect! Sam is a reliable tutor. I love his teaching style.
Above all, rather than simply teaching, let the child think and solve it on his own. I can highly recommend him.See more reviews

Sam is a fantastic teacher! Was prompt with replies on the app and took his time to go through all the difficulties I had. His patience and ability to simplify any difficult concepts created a comfortable learning environment where I could fill in all the gaps in my knowledge.
Will definitely recommend Sam for all those wanting to boost their confidence as well as their grade in Maths!!
Thanks Sam!!
Sam is a friendly, approachable tutor with experience in Statistics, algebra, data analysis and machine learning. He is very patient and great to work with, having tutored students in an academic setting for a few years. Having studied with Sam at university, I know that he will be a very reliable tutor.
