Hi, I’m Sam, a second-year Maths and Computer Science student at Durham University. For the past three years I’ve been tutoring secondary, GCSE and A-level students, with hundreds of hours of private lessons so far.

My own results include an A* in both A-level Maths and Further Maths, and at GCSE a 9 in Maths, 9-9 in Combined Science and an 8 in Computer Science. Good grades are only useful if you can explain how you got them, though, and that’s what I focus on in every session.

I’ve taught students on AQA, Edexcel and OCR, as well as IGCSE, so I know what each exam board expects and how marks are awarded. Every lesson is tailored to the student. That might mean rebuilding confidence with the basics, working through tricky topics step by step, or sharpening exam technique with past papers before the big day.

Many of my students have gone on to beat their predicted grades, and seeing that progress is the best part of the job. I genuinely love what I do, and I aim to make lessons clear, relaxed and even enjoyable. I have had students achieve grades 3 levels higher than predicted and propelled students from their insurance choice schools and subjects to their ideal futures.

If you’d like to see whether I’m a good fit, send me a message. I’m happy to chat about your goals before you book.

All of my tutoring sessions are direct one-to-one sessions where I teach a specially made lesson plan for each student. All of my lessons are a constant back and forth between me and the student with a mixture of revising content, answering practice questions and eventually exam questions nearing the exam period and based exactly on what the student is struggling with or needs to cover most. I also make myself available all hours of the working day via text for any extra necessary student support that someone may need at no extra cost.
