Testimonials
Hear what parents have to say about my service and the impact I’ve had on my students.
“Sam is an outstanding maths coach. He coached my two elder children through A- level maths with great results. My eldest daughter found maths very challenging, but Sam helped her achieve her full potential. He also facilitated my son achieving A* in maths, which enabled him to go to medical school. We are delighted that Sam will also start coaching our youngest daughter in September. Sam is incredibly approachable, yet very professional and develops a great rapport with his tutees very quickly. He is able to explain things simply and effectively and tailor this to individuals with differing needs. I thoroughly recommend Sam as a maths coach.”
“Sam was highly recommended to us. I have a son in Year 10 who needs extra help & more confidence in himself. Sam is definitely helping with this! Finn has often said how Sam puts him at ease with his friendly & positive manner, making him feel confident to ask any questions he’s unsure about. We can tell Sam is passionate about Maths, it certainly comes across in his teaching & he really wants Finn to achieve to the best of his ability. Finn & myself would highly recommend Sam”
Sam has coached my daughter for A level maths for several months. She had fallen behind due to Covid and was initially reluctant to have coaching but is now recognising how valuable it can be. He explains concepts well & has worked through numerous questions with her building up her confidence which had been low. He has been very flexible with regards to timing of sessions & has been very prepared to give feedback on progress to me. We have definitely seen the impact of his coaching on her results. I wholeheartedly recommend Sam as a maths coach.
“Sam tutored my son for the last year of his Maths GCSE. Before the pandemic, Sam came to our home. He was always punctual and very courteous. Sam’s tutoring played a significant role in my son doing well in his Maths GCSE. He is very patient and calm and extremely clear in his teaching. Now Sam is tutoring my daughter Maths online. This is invaluable considering how much schooling she has missed due to the pandemic. Again, he always explains things clearly and readily consolidates topics and processes with her. Sam is engaging and friendly. My daughter is making good progress in Maths, a subject she can find challenging. Sam is definitely an A* Maths tutor.”
“We are just 7 days away from receiving Emma’s A level results. She’s been predicted 2 A’s and an A*. That last one is in mathematics and I have no doubt that her love and understanding of maths is due in part to the fantastic coaching she received from Sam during her time at County High School.
My son is currently being coached by Sam during the Summer holiday, just once a week to keep things ticking over. He adores Sam because he is personable, reliable, fun and a brilliant coach. We can’t thank him enough!”
“Sam has been a wonderful, inspiring and effective tutor for my son Theo. He helped my son significantly build his confidence for his maths GCSE, in which he achieved a level 9, and is now preparing him for A Level. My son loves his lessons with Sam which makes the process so much easier as he is eager to study and aim for top grades. Sam has a relaxed, confident and inspiring teaching style which my son loves. We highly recommended him.”
“Sam has tutored my two children at both A-level and GCSE. They expressed how relaxed and easy Sam made the sessions, and that both their understanding and confidence were helped greatly by the sessions. Sam made things easy to follow and was very patient when they needed a bit of extra guidance. As a parent, you are never sure that the tutor will click with your children, but Sam was fantastic with both of mine, who despite being very different were able to build great rapport with him.”
“We first engaged Sam to tutor my son who had struggled with Maths over lockdown without in-person teaching. He was recommended by a friend. My son got on very well with Sam and enjoyed the Maths lessons. We told Sam some areas that my son struggled with and Sam then created a programme to help him. My son feels much more confident about starting his higher level Maths GCSE course now and achieved excellent results in his end of year 9 assessments. As Sam was so successful with my son, we also engaged him to help tutor my home-educating daughter through some of the more difficult aspects of her higher level IGCSE Maths course. Sam was an absolute godsend and we have gone on to recommend him to several other friends.”
“Sam tutored two of my daughters in 2020 – one in year 11 whose GCSEs were then cancelled and then her younger sister whose lessons were online and who will be doing her GCSEs in 2021. Sam was very knowledgeable about the course and content, patient with the girls, good at explaining concepts, easy to understand, easy to communicate with – Orla said he made maths so much easier! He is young and so the girls found him approachable and understanding of their situation. I would have no hesitation in using Sam again or in recommending him to others.”
“Since starting Maths tutoring with Sam we have seen a marked improvement in our daughters grasp of the content and confidence within the subject. He has established a great connection which has enabled her to be comfortable to explore her more challenging topic areas without fear of failing. Notably, she has just completed her mock GCSE in a much calmer, prepared and confident manner.”
“My son’s confidence and accuracy has significantly improved. Sam is easy to get along with and brilliant at explaining work that my son finds difficult.”
