Information about Sam

I grew up in London and currently live in Hammersmith. I love drama and also am pursuing a career in acting.

Availability: I am available on Weekends and from 5:00pm on weekdays.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I am an enthusiastic and engaging tutor, with a year’s worth of full-time experience in education. I love literature and drama and I particularly enjoy sharing what I love about those subjects with young people. I adore teaching English, History and Theology (up to A Level), and happily teach the Sciences, French and Latin, up to GCSE level, as well as Maths and Geography up to Common Entrance Level.

I started tutoring six years ago, when I became Junior Master at St Philip’s School for boys, an independent preparatory school in South Kensington. I worked at the school full time, teaching reading to Forms Three, Four and Five as well as Geography (Form Five only). I also coached Football, Touch-Rugby and Cricket, directed the school play 101 Dalmatians and ran the ‘Homework Club’, an after-school class where boys could do their Homework and I would be on hand to help them with anything they struggled with.

In the evenings and weekends, I tutored a number of pupils to help prepare them for their Common Entrance exams. In addition, I also tutored younger students who were struggling and foreign language students who needed help with their English.

After working at St. Philip’s, I read English and Related Literature at the University of York and studied drama at LAMDA. While studying, I taught a variety of students including some boys from St. Philip’s, two girls for their Eleven Plus exams and gave English conversation classes to adult Russian speakers at ENRC.

My experience at St. Philip’s has given me an invaluable perspective on tutoring. Everyone remembers their teachers, the wonderfully inspiring ones and the not so inspiring ones. This is because of the unique responsibility a teacher has. A young mind is always brilliant and full of potential, but it is also delicate and impressionable. A good teacher knows this and works hard to ensure that every student is interested in what they are learning, recognised for who they are, and most importantly, happy. I believe by cultivating these attributes in my students I am not only helping them to achieve the grades they deserve, but I am providing them with the tools they need for well beyond their school days.
