About Sam
I have been teaching Tai Chi since 2010 at the Wu style tai chi Chuan Academy, as well as working with a lot of diverse groups in several areas of support. These include Age UK, Fit for Fun, West Middlesex Hospital (rheumatology dept), PUK (Parkinson's groups) Survivors Together and many more. Tai Chi has such a broad spectrum that emanates from the basic principles that it can be applied to a very broad range of needs. As well as the traditional Tai Chi syllabus. I have always found that while some things are relevant to one individual other aspects are much more useful to another and I have learnt to assess specific needs and adapt my teaching accordingly.

I have been attending a tai chi class taught by Sam for over 3 years. He is immensely knowledgeable but almost more importantly very patient with the range of abilities in our group. He is an excellent teacher, each lesson is carefully structured ensuring that everyone progresses. Sam is however also very flexible and adapts lessons depending on the circumstances in our group. He has a lovely sense of humour, making even the most demanding exercises good fun. I would unreservedly recommend Sam as a tutor.
I first met Sam when he was invited to deliver a 10-week series of Tai Chi classes to women in our Menopause Awareness Group in late 2024. Since then, he has returned to run a Tai Chi Taster session in March and is currently delivering another 10-week series of Tai Chi for Women classes. I am the host of these classes and have worked closely with Sam throughout.

His teaching style is inclusive and adaptable, making his sessions accessible and beneficial to learners at all stages. He brings a sense of humour, respect, and approachability to every session, creating a welcoming and enjoyable learning environment.
Why do you recommend this person to the other Superprof members?
I highly recommend Sam to other Superprof members because he consistently delivers high-quality, enjoyable sessions that resonate with learners. His ability to tailor his teaching to suit different levels ensures that everyone benefits, regardless of experience. Several learners have returned to his classes, which is a testament to the positive impact of his teaching. From a host’s perspective, he is reliable, communicative and a pleasure to collaborate with.
