Sam is really helping my daughter with her English. The work they are doing is relevant to my daughter’s GCSEs and helping her build confidence.
From Ksenia
Sam is a very professional teacher who quickly improves the reading and writing skills and engagement with the English language and literature. My child always enjoyed her lessons and approach. I warmly recommend Sam to everyone who needs efficient and quick improvement of English skills.

From Andreea
Sam has been helping our daughter prepare for her A level exam in English Language, since September. Sarah's confidence is growing with every lesson attended. Sam is teaching her new concepts, as well as further explaining and putting in context terms she hadn't fully grasped. We are so pleased with the progress she is makin, and very grateful for her having Sam.in her life as a positive role model, too. Thank you so much, Sam!
From Peter
We were very alarmed when my son got a 4 on his mock GCSE English exam, because he was doing well in his other subjects and extremely well in the subjects he enjoys. The problem was that he hated English and intensely disliked his English teacher. He agreed to get tutoring to help with English and he went to Sam for an hour a week from November to May. He really enjoyed the sessions, which was a pleasant surprise, given his loathing of the subject; I never had to twist his arm to go. I could see his confidence in his ability to handle the exam questions increasing from week to week. In the end he got a 6 in English Literature and a 7 in English Language, so we are delighted with the outcome. Sam is an excellent tutor and I recommend her highly.
From Robert
Our son really enjoyed the tutoring sessions he had with Sam. The sessions also allowed him to greatly improve his written English skills enabling him to pass his GCSE English at the first attempt. This is on top of or son having been diagnosed with a learning disability which meant this was a very tall order.

From Aurelija
Amazing tutor! I was looking for a tutor for my 8yr old son during the summer holidays to help with comprehension, writing and a bit of creative writing. Sam had prepared materials for every lesson which was a suitable level of difficulty for my child. And best of all my son enjoyed the lessons and would ask me when he would have the next lesson with Sam, and that says a lot about how good she is with kids as my child is not very keen on English at school.
From Noriko
Sam is so positive and encouraging that I look forward to going to the lessons. She helps me a great deal correcting my English pronunciation, understanding my poor grammar and planning what she teaches for every lesson.

From Paul
(GCSE English) I highly recommend Sam. Our son required extra support for his GCSE exams. With Sam's method of tuition, our son went from a grade 4 to a grade 6 in both literature and language, his target grade.Our son, got on very well with Sam and enjoyed his lessons which were structured accordingly. Thank you, Sam.
From Sarah
Sam is an excellent tutor and has been a real help to our 17 year old with her English A level work. She’s smart, flexible and super lovely - a real find - and we will continue to use her excellent skills as and when we need to.
From Andrea
My daughter needed extra support with her A Level English Language, and has been seeing Sam for just over 4 weeks now. There has been a huge improvement with her understanding and comprehension of the subject. She has become a lot more confident and this is all down to Sam's support and encouragement. Cannot recommend highly enough!
From Marysia

My son, preparing for 11+ has been going to Sam for couple of lessons now. Sam is very motivating and is helping my son well with comprehension and creative writing. My son enjoys going to her lessons. Would recommend her. Thanks!
From Angela
We are very happy with our choice of Sam as English Literature A level tutor for my daughter. Sam is professional, knowledge, personable and easy to "get along with". She has well structured lessons focusing on specific required developmental areas. We look forward to working with Sam over the coming months until the end of A level studies.
From Claudia
I highly recommend Sam, she is not only friendly but very efficient on her teachings. My son who would not write a sentence for me would write a paragraph for her! He truly enjoyed his lessons with Sam, and became confident on his abilities. Many thanks Sam.
From Caroline
Sam was a great tutor, very knowledgeable and made each lesson interesting and fun. My daughter learned a lot and her grades improved. I can highly recommend Sam.
From Ildiko
Experienced English teacher with passion for both written words and teaching, uses this passion to connect students to the material. Possesses good presentation and communication skills that ensure students learn the material presented as well as they can. She is helpful, reliable, tolerant, follows the students needs. Really happy that find her on your website.
From Agnieszka
Sam is a fantastic teacher. She's always very punctual,nice and friendly .Sam has got a lot of teaching materials and exercises which help me understand grammar and speak English better.
From Ahilan
Sam has been very helpful, good at providing notes and talking them through; specifically on Lord of the flies. My son is happy with her contribution, nature and style. She is well qualified for tutoring in the subject, however, to get from A to A* is aided by syllabus expectation and mark scheme knowledge. This is the perceived gap, which if real and addressed, "could" enhance the the finer points to ensure an A*.
From Zakiya
My daughter loves to be taught by Sam and has become so much more enthusiastic about English! Thank you Sam!
From Shah Faisal
She's very good in teaching,and her way of teaching is really very brilliant, as she's kind,polite and helpful,so therefore one can better understand and gain easily. Actually, i was taking lessons for IELTS from her but unfortunately i couldn't continue and not preparing nowadays, so can't say how I prepared me for IELTS? but the lessons i had taken were really useful and helpful and i think, if i would continue i might pass the exam with good score or as i expected 7 or 7.5 band. Anyhow, for those who will keep preparing, depending on the students that how much time they need to prepare themselves, can get success. And of course, for success, it depends on the student ability, she will just enhance you to the success.So if you work hard and get help from her, no doubt you'll get success.And yes, don't forget be punctual of time 'cause she very punctual of time. ( N.B, she doesn't teach those, who isn't punctual of time)
From Margaret
We have found Sam to be very pleasant,punctual and reliable. Her teaching methods have helped my son's grades considerably.
