Sam

Hi, my name is Sam and I have been tutoring maths for seven years. I have a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Leeds, where I graduated with First Class Honours and achieved among the top few in my year for many of my modules. I have since pursued my passion as a tutor and have delivered over 2000 hours of 1-1 tuition to students studying at GCSE, A-level and undergraduate levels.

I specialise in GCSE and A-level maths tuition and have helped over 50 students meet and exceed their target grades: many achieving the top scores. As well as working in education, I have also worked and trained extensively as a personal coach and became ICF-accredited in early 2021. This coaching experience has drastically influenced my approach to tutoring, providing me with the tools to help students become more motivated, independent and resourceful young learners. Furthermore, it has taught me how to help students set ambitious and achievable goals for themselves and keep them on track using the power of accountability. Finally, my coaching practice has taught me how to build and maintain strong rapport with students, developing a relationship of trust and mutual respect upon which effective learning and growth can occur.

While I offer in-person tuition for those who want it, I deliver most of my tuition online and believe it is an excellent option for those outside my travelling range. While it doesn`t offer the same level of intimacy as in-person tutoring, it does come with its advantages! These benefits include annotated online notes — which are much easier for the student to store and keep organised — and a greater wealth of in-lesson resources made possible by internet access. Online tuition also provides an excellent solution for students who experience anxiety and find the prospect of one-to-one tuition in person a little daunting.

If you have any questions or want to see a list of testimonials, please don`t hesitate to get in touch!

I look forward to hearing from you,
Sam
