Samantha

I am a fully qualified Maths teacher and have previously worked for two years at the Northampton Academy. I left teaching in 2009 to pursue a different career, but throughout that period have had the pleasure of tutoring GCSE students in the approach to their exams.

Since 2015 I have returned to teaching on a one-to-one, and small group basis as a private tutor.

I have a patient and calm manner. When tutoring pupils I find ways to build their confidence, taking time to enlighten them and use real-life examples to introduce topics in a way that makes maths meaningful and fun. I will help them to develop their skills and reach a point where they can enjoy success and go on to attain their target grades.

Testimonials
˜Sam is not only great at number crunching she is also a person who is patient, caring and approachable. Her positive energy is refreshing to witness as she makes you feel very much at ease from the first session, right up to the last - Highly recommended.™

`With my GCSE Maths exams looming I was not only lacking the knowledge required to help me achieve the grade I wanted but also the confidence. Having regular one-to-one lessons with Sam benefited me greatly! Her patience, encouragement and ability to make you feel at ease, even when you are completely out of depth, actually helped me to find maths an enjoyable subject. From the very start Sam was able to target and efficiently address all the aspects of maths I had not been able to understand or grasp before. Sam’s inspired tuition was the key to building my confidence, without it I would have probably failed my Maths GCSE but instead I achieved an "A" grade, enabling me to continue in education and begin A Levels. Sam`s help has been invaluable and I will always be grateful to her for the support she gave me and the confidence she has instilled in my maths ability.`

`I approached Sam for assistance in Mathematics because I struggled with the more complex problems in the GCSE exams. Sam helped me by breaking down the problems in a way that I could understand and be able to complete when under stress and in exam conditions. The result was that I achieved my target of a B in my GCSEs which I was overjoyed with. One thing I liked was her patience when helping me to understand complex problems and her ability to change her approach when I couldn’t understand. I found the experience great and supportive and really helped me with my exams. I would recommend Sam to people who need help with their own issues in Mathematics for any knowledge level.`
