Unfortunately, we couldn’t carry on after my daughter’s first lesson with Sam. She was so disappointed as he continuously checked his phone and was distracted as a result, throughout her lesson.
From Keren
Sam really knows what he’s doing. He is very personable, my daughter really rates him. I’m very happy with Sam as a tutor for my daughter. Thank you.
Thank you Karen. It is my pleasure. Sam
From Paul
Sam has tutored our daughter for the last two years in Maths and Further Maths and has been brilliant. He is a very clever chap who has a relaxed style and is very reliable. Sam is very practical and likes to work through lots of old exam questions in order to really understand the topics. We would have no hesitation recommending Sam and our daughter has now achieved straight A's
Thank you Paul. The grades are certainly well deserved in this case. It was my pleasure.
From Saloua
Sam had to change the timing of the lesson the last minute and suggested an early start which we did not mind. Sam suggested to work a past paper with my son without taking my son on board or checking what help he would like during the Math tuitions. Sam had his own agenda.He did not check the agenda of my son. All this could be acceptable as my son said that Sam sounds he knows his topic. However, Sam was distracted by checking now and then his phone and texting people during the lesson which I feel it is very unprofessional. Unfortunately, we feel that we lost time and resources with this tutor.
I’m very sorry you feel this way.
I did speak with your son before the lesson to discuss what exam board he was taking and where he felt he was at at the moment in terms of progesssion and goals.
Typically I have found in my many years of experience that the best way to improve grades is by exam practise and as such I focus on past papers. Especially on a first lesson so I can see first hand how confident the pupil is at answering the exam material. I wish you the best of luck in the future, thanks, Sam
From Jon
I approached Sam to help my Son with his impending Maths GCSE re-take in November. With only 8 weeks until the exam and after carefully assessing ability, Sam focused on exam technique as the basics were there. Sam was excellent, he really struck a connection and got the best out of the time he had. In fact my Son commented he'd learnt more over those 8 weeks that he had in his final year! I'm writing the feedback now as the result has just come through with a Level 4 Pass. We're all thrilled. !00% recommend Sam if you're looking for a quality Maths Tutor in the Windsor area.
Thank you for the kind words, it was my pleasure to have been able to help. I always thought we'd get there, he certainly put in the effort.
From Marilyn
Sam made contact promptly and made appointment for first session with my son. Following the first session the feedback from my son about Sams teaching methods was positive and he felt confident that his approach to teaching would suit my son. A great start Sam and we look to further sessions with you! Marilyn Perring
Thank you Marrilyn,
I too feel confident we will achieve good results in the coming exams.

From Calum
Sam has been very good for our son, in particular emphasising the need to focus on exam technique and what is required in order to achieve good grades; no point in trying to demonstrate to a marker just how clever you are and how much you know if the question only merits 3 marks, etc. That hasn't been easy, our son is not prone to taking criticism well, but Sam's style could perhaps be described as quietly patient but authoritative, akin to those teachers that pupils widely respect, and son now looks forward eagerly to their weekly sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending Sam.
Thank you for the kind words. I am sure we will do very well indeed!
