All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Dr Greg Samways.
Perfect! Greg was very helpful and generous with his time. He was also very thorough with his explanations of what makes a great scientific research report and how to write for clarity, cohesion and with scientific rigour- I learned a lot from the sessions and was able to improve my work through his help! Throughout the lessons, I always felt like Greg welcomed questions and provided a calm, informative and non-judgemental presence, even when my question may at times have been very basic. I also got valuable insight on career and future academic planning as well. Thank you Greg - your help is very much appreciated.
Perfect! Kind and personable teacher who is helping me to understand my work.

“Dr Samways is a very inspirational and supportive tutor who has an incredible ability to take things apart, then put them back together in a coherent way that you better understand. As a 2nd year university student studying Geography I was really struggling to plan an important assignment. Dr Samways helped me take my mind model apart and rebuild it so that I was able to analyse, evaluate and create new possibilities, supported by clear facts and the necessary evidence. The result was simple, clear and highly effective. For anyone struggling to plan an assignment or organise their dissertation, Dr Samways is highly recommended.” – Keeley Tipton
Greg is a fantastic tutor who I cannot recommend enough! He has helped guide me from start to finish throughout my BSc Geology course in both understanding the depths of how to learn and how this applied to my topics. This has been invaluable and I truly believe it has helped me achieve to the best of my ability. He also was brilliant when it later came to my MSc dissertation in initially helping me brainstorm where I could go with my topic. I'd been at a loss on how to create a proposal but talking it over helped me see where I could run with it. I really cannot overstate how helpful Greg has been and if you enjoy geoscience, conversations never fail to be inspiring!
