About Sam

Hello,

I am Sam, the resident tutor of SAMTutor.

Experience

I’m a science and maths tutor with over 9 years experience of tutoring KS3, GCSE, A-level and beyond.

I’ve worked 2+ years at one of the North Wests top colleges, along with 2 years teaching experience in various secondary schools as part of my teacher training.

Educational beliefs

I focus on making the subjects I tutor as accessible as possible. To me this means tailoring the way I teach to the student to give them the best chance at understanding the concept.

I believe confidence is one of the most inhibiting challenges students face when attempting to learn new concepts or solve new problems. My main aim when tutoring is to cultivate a students confidence and ability to become a self-sustained learner.

I`m soft spoken, mild mannered and patient which are all attributes I believe work to my strength as a tutor.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Am I qualified?

I graduated with a upper second class honours joint degree in Physics, Mathematics, and Biochemistry & Genetics from Lancaster University.

I subsequently received a highly competitive scholarship from the Institute of Physics to study a PGCE [teacher training].

Studied towards a PGCE in Physics with Mathematics over a 2 year period, at the time of study I was on course to be graded as a Good teacher with Outstanding qualities. [Due to health issues I withdrew from the course before qualifying].
