Sam is a superb tutor, first of all with a very positive attitude; takes time and effort to help my son's development points and allowed him to improve his two grades
From Mary
Isaac has really appreciated Sam’s support with his maths. We would absolutely recommend him.
Thanks Mary. Pleased to know that Isaac achieved a 7 in his GCSE Maths, proving that ADHD can't be a barrier when determination is there.
From Alex
Not suitable or qualified enough to teach my subject
You booked the first lesson two days in advance, scope was agreed upon and you were informed that payment must be made prior to lesson. You did not agree to do so and submitted this feedback.
Feedbacks are supposed to be an honest reflection of your experience, how can you comment on a tutor's suitability or qualification without having taken any lesson!
From Francine
Our son has recently started having one to one maths lessons with Sam. Although it's early days, our son already appears to have more confidence in his ability in maths. Sam, from a parent's point of view, appears to be enthusiastic and is inspiring our son to achieve the best he can. So far, we are happy with our son's progress.
Thanks Francine, 8 in GCSE Maths is a great result, well done to him.
From Elena
My daughter started enjoying lessons with Sam straightaway. She was impressed with Sam’s clear explanations and professionalism. Sam has created a sense of discipline that helped my daughter to stay focused throughout summer holidays. As a result, she managed to improve her predicted grades within two months.
From Diane
My Son enjoyed working with Sam. In a short period of time, they had to try to revise two years worth of work. I believe Sam's sessions made a huge difference.
From Claire
Sam has tutored my son over the last seven months and has been professional and reliable throughout. His support with A level maths has been excellent, with complicated subjects being clearly explained. He is responsive and knows his subject area well. My son enjoys his sessions and they have enhanced his understanding of the syllabus. I can confidently recommend Sam.
Thanks Claire, I'm pleased to know in this challenging year he secured an A in Maths and do hope he will enjoy studying computer science at his first choice university.
From Rafi
Sam teaches my daughter A level maths. He has a way of explaining things that is accessible, is flexible in his approach depending on what she needs and is always kind and non judgmental. She has improved her assessment scores since starting with him. From a parental point of view, he is reliable, honest and flexible. Highly recommended.
Thank you, I'm pleased to know she has secured a place in UCL and do hope she'll enjoy it.
From Ebrahim
Thank you, well done to Arya with his achievement of 8 in GCSE Maths.
From Jane
Thank you for all your support for my son - you built his confidence for the end of year exams within a few short months. Sam is always prepared and extremely knowledgeable.
From Aleksandros
He was indeed professional in his writing, but not in how he dealt with my specific case. After paying the 25 pounds introductory fee, almost going ahead with him ,was told that he does only 2 hour sessions which would end up 120 pounds or more. That is simply not professional when 1 hour would be more than enough for my needs.
Thank you for the feedback, **Telephone Number Removed** prior to purchase of details I did confirm that first session would be 2-4pm, that naturally means 2 hours sessions. I have copied the correspondence below for your benefit.
GCSE or National 3-5 Maths tuiti**Telephone Number Removed** Dear Abdolsamad,
I am looking for a tutor for GCSE or National 3-5 Maths, please could you let me know your availability.
Thanks,
Aleksandros
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Dear Aleksandros,
Thank you for your message, I’ll be happy to help. I have experience of tutoring students at various levels with great satisfaction rate. All my GCSE students passed their exams with 8s and 9s and A-level students have got to their first choice universities.
Please let me know your availability and whether you'll be able to travel to me.
Kind regards, Sam
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi, dont mind traveling. Are you based around Ealing Broadway?
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Yes I’m 5 mins from Broadway. What’s your availability and When would you like to get started?
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi again,
Just to make few stuff clear, so you are aware. I am currently 20 years old from Easter Europe and just completed my first year of my 2 year ICT BTEC course, but after looking into Universities and asking around, came to the conclusion that my GCSE Maths grade wont be enough that had received 2 years ago, which was a C, short 2/3 points from a B. Due to not even touching maths since then, have forgotten and gotten rusty. My predicted grades for my main course are D*D*D - D*D*D* and need at least a 6, but if possible and 8 by this November. I have found a place to take the exam as a private candidate this fall.
Regards,
Aleksandros Profka
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi Aleksandros,
Thanks for the info, that’s achievable. We need to go over concepts and do variety of past papers to familiarise you with the style of questions in exam and what’s expected. For next week I have availability on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Best, Sam
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi, both days are available for me, but is it possible evening or night time ? Thanks !
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi I can do Tuesday evening but not sure about Wednesday evening yet, I'll confirm later. What's earliest time you can do?
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi again, do you think its possible to do it between 2pm and 5pm ?
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Sure, 2-4pm would work. Please purchase my details to have the address and confirm via email, I'll then book the time.
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Sorry, I cant really see any option to do so. Could you lead me to the correct page/button ?
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Found it, but it says the following - Sorry, you cannot release Abdolsamad's details yet. Please ask them to accept your request first!
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** ne!

From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** As you can see above, it has been done. Could you book it in ? Thanks !
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi again, could we book it for 3 to 4 pm ?
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi again, could you please confirm the booking ? Thanks !
From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi Aleksandros, My sessions are 2 hours and happy to see you Tuesday 2-4pm as discussed. Please confirm how you'd like to pay. Also what's your availability for Wednesday?
Best, Sam
From Aleksandros (**Telephone Number Removed** Hi, 2 sessions wont do for me as that would end up being 120 pounds per day, cannot justify that price due to the nature of the subject. Wont be processing with your services, have a nice day!
From Katie
Sam is an excellent tutor of maths and science. He has been giving weekly gcse sessions to our son for 3 months. He is friendly and approachable- and my son now wants to do A level maths.
Thanks Katie, I’m delighted with Josh performance in his GCSE exams. 9 in Maths and sciences and A* in Further Maths shows his determination and hard work and I’m happy to have supported him in his learning journey.
From Jane
Sam has been tutoring our daughter in A level physics since her mocks in February and she has found it invaluable. It has improved her core knowledge, exam technique and confidence and she has found his engaging and professional approach has suited her very well. We would highly recommend Sam as a tutor.
From Guy
So far, he has really helped my son get caught up to the rest of the class in the first few sessions. Helped him study for upcoming tests and clear up confusion that was part of my son's poor performance. He has been a great motivator for my son and can help complex ideas seem simple. I would recommend him highly!
From Neelam
Sam is teaching my daughter for A level Maths and Physics. We have had 6 lessons already and my daughter is happy with Sam’s lesson. He explains each topic with patients and in a methodical way. He has all the required coursework specs to cover the required level of details. Sam is also quite flexible with arranging and alternate day or topics to cover based on request. Happy to recommend Sam!
Thanks Neelam, I'm pleased to see the final grades of A*AB and that she's been rewarded by securing a place to study her passion, Economics, at Nottingham. Look forward to reading more of her articles on socioeconomic issues.
From Aderonke
Excellent tutor, takes time to explain and break down the subject
From Menghong
Sam is a very good teacher, we have had 7 lessons already, he very responsible and courtesy. When he is asking for a question they have good communication together, which the most important part is he will tell the kids how did you get this answer and the question behind the answer. Therefore, the kids can understand fully, I think this is are a very important part of learning, I hope in the future will be better
From Deepti
Sam started tutoring my son recently for GCSE Math, Physics and Chemistry. My son has had really productive sessions with Sam. He explains the concepts / topics very well, in a calm and methodical way which helps consolidate the knowledge. I have no doubt that with Sam's tuition my son will be able to start year 11 with confidence in Maths and Science and it will prove to be a positive boost toward his GCSEs.
Thanks Deepti, I'm very pleased with Aditya's GCSE results, 9 in Math, Physics and Chemistry and A* in Further Maths shows his hard work and I wish him best of luck in his A-level.
From Larisa
5 sessions with my son, first year A level to bring him forward. Easy to arrange lessons with flexibility. Addresses the issues clearly with my son who has felt that those sessions have made a good difference. I would not hesitate in recommending him and we will go back to him if needed next year.
From Dhilan
Sam is currently helping me out with A Level Maths and Chemistry. I contacted him a week before my Year 12 exams asking him if he can help me with Maths and Chemistry topics I am uncomfortable with, and we managed to arrange times for each day of the half term holiday in which he would tutor me and help me through difficult areas. Sam is an incredibly engaging tutor and has helped me understand so much over this week. Every session with him has increased my confidence bit by bit, and confidence is one of the main things you should go into an exam not lacking in. He is very reassuring when going over topics and loves tutoring, which also is a big factor in being good at what he does. I myself look forward to each lesson and gain so much from what he teaches. Thank you Sam!
Thanks Dhilan, glad you have done so well at your AS exam and got predicted A for your A-level.
From Paul
Excellent Tutor. Our 17 yr old son went to Sam for C1/C2 revision prior to an AS Maths exam and found him very easy to talk to with a very good teaching style. Our son felt very well prepared for the exam as a result.
From Boris
I have very productive lessons with Sam, and have enjoyed learning and revising theory aswell as practicing it, which has helped me achieve far better results in Mathematics.
From Faisal
He is good teacher and i would recommend him.
From Paul
Sam has been helping my son with his end of year one A level Physics exams, which although don't contribute to his eventual A level grade, will in large part help determine the predicted grade that universities use to make their offers. Sam has been thorough and has been able to fill in the knowledge gaps and importantly, built a positive working relationship conducive to learning.
From Jennifer
From Annemarie
Sam has been an engaging an excellent tutor. He is highly organised and motivated to do the best for his students.
Thanks Annemarie, pleased to know Lardo has got 7/9 in his GCSE in spite of all difficulties he faced due to medical conditions.
From Mee mee
Sam has been an excellent tutor for our daughter and is patient and methodical in his teaching approach. She is comfortable with asking questions and finds his explanations clear and easy to understand. He is able to time her lessons so they are at the weekend and this has been particularly helpful to her. The lessons have really helped her knowledge and to boost her confidence.
Thanks Mee mee, very pleased with Elie's performance, all 9s in Maths and Sciences. Best of luck in her A-level
From Leigh-Anne
My son has had 2 lessons with Sam and he has found that his understanding of his maths has already improved. Just yesterday he said to me that had he started with Sam earlier his last test results would have been much better. Sam has a very approachable manner and a calm way of teaching which my son particularly enjoys. As a busy mum I appreciate that Same is well organised and punctual.
From Shiroma
So far seems very dedicated and good at explaining and engaging students in what can be a difficult subject
Thanks Shiroma, pleased with Olivia's performance in her GCSE, 8 in all sciences and 7 in Maths.
From Emily
I initially contacted Sam to help me brush up my skills in maths for an entry exam to university. He was very helpful, professional, friendly. If I was having trouble with a concept he would make every effort to explain it in a different way to make sure I understood it. The lesson was enjoyable and he boosted my confidence. I passed my exam so Sam's tutoring definitely helped me on my way. I would definitely recommend Sam for anyone needing help!
From Ryan
Sam's tutoring was well taught and done in a professional manner. The price ended up being too much for us, but I learned a lot from the few sessions we had.
From Clair
Sam is brilliant - couldn't recommend him highly enough. My son says that Sam is very patient and therefore my son doesn't feel under pressure or more importantly that he is under-achieving. I have great faith in Sam helping my son reach his full potential. He is personable and very efficient in everything he does. Glad we have found him!
Thanks Clair, A* in Maths and Chemsitry for Olivia and 8,7, 7 in Maths and science for Max are great achievements. I'm delighted she can now pursue her ambition to study medicine. It's been a pleasure being part of their success and I wish you all well.

He is very friendly and helpful teacher
From Miriam
Sam has been both professional and friendly. My son's confidence has grown enormously which I'm very pleased and impressed with. Sam's ability to relate maths to the real world makes it fascinating and engaging, something my 9 year old has really enjoyed.
From Nabila
Malaikah finds the one to one lessons very beneficial. She is fullly engaged in the two hour lessons. Sam is a very patient and thorough in his explanations. They both communicate well together. Sam is very reliable and always on time. We are very happy with the lessons.

From Tom
Sam is a dedicated teacher. He does a lot of preparation before classes. He has helped me extensively with the silibus. I would recommend him to anyone.

I contacted Sam on behalf of my son who was having trouble in his university calculus course. Sam was an excellent tutor who was very professional, knowledgeable and who had an in-depth understanding of his topic. He was very good at simplifying difficult concepts and would describe multiple ways of a approaching a problem. I highly recommend him.
From Tarek
I asked Sam to help my daughter at the last minute with her final year dissertation proposal in environmental studies He was really very professional, very well organised, used a systematic approach to help her and had to dedicate quite a few sessions for her in less than two weeks which was very helpful being a last minute request. I am really impressed with Sam's approach, organisation, knowledge and professional attitude.
From Susanne
Sam tutors our three kids aged 7, 12 and 15 in maths and the 15 year old also in science. He adapts very easily between the different ages and finds the right way of encouragement and firmness with all three of them. Sam comes well-prepared for classes and gives the kids a good amount of homework. He approaches our tutoring with much more rigour than previous tutors: for example with the 15-year old, he has a good view of where she needs to be for GCSEs and then, taking into account where she stands at the moment and what is covered in school, is pushing her beyond her comfort zone to cover areas of the curriculum which she is not confident in. Sam has a strong academic background; it is clear that he worked hard as a student and expects the same from our children. Sam’s engaging character works like a magnet and has helped our children approach learning with more enthusiasm. Sam is always on time and very easy to talk to. Am happily recommending him.
From Steph
Sam has been tutoring my son for several weeks in IGCSE Chemistry. He is most professional, conscientious, enthusiastic and most importantly, patient. I recommend him without reservation.
From Niamh
Sam is an extremely thorough and patient tutor. He is genuinely interested in helping my son achieve the best possible marks in his physics exams. He has been very flexible in his timings when my son has been ill. I can whole heartedly recommend him as an excellent tutor.
From Jennifer
Sam has been great in working with my son and his preparations for A Levels. Still some months off, but very hopeful that the results we are looking for will come through.
Thanks Jennifer, I enjoyed our interactive and engaging session with Ben and pleased to see that he got to his dream university KCL, well done to him and best of luck to both of you.
From Fay
Due to circumstances my daughter has only had one lesson with Sam, but I understand that he was very patient and helpful in sorting out some complex problems in her A Level Physics practical results, and she would be happy to continue tuition with him.
From Ebru

He is very honest about his abilities. His help was on time and he revised the material with me. He is nice and takes care of his students. He spent his personal time to clarify some points for me. I would definitely work with him again.
