About me
Hello, I'm Sam
I have 20 years' experience in teaching. I have taught in schools and at a university, and I have run a tuition centre for 12 years.
I have a passion for helping children succeed.
My approach to tuition is centred around the individual child. I believe every child has the ability to make progress when given the right encouragement, guidance and support.
I aim to create a positive, welcoming learning environment where children feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and challenging themselves.
Whether preparing for the 11 Plus or seeking additional support with primary school subjects, my goal is to help every child develop confidence, strengthen their knowledge and reach their full potential.
Parent testimonials
Success stories
We are extremely grateful for the dedication and support throughout our children’s 11+ journey. Both successfully secured places at their preferred grammar school. Sameena combines consistency and commitment with individual feedback and honest communication with parents - we knew exactly where our children were at and what to work on. The tutoring approach is supportive and encouraging, while also being firm and keeping them focused. We couldn’t recommend Sameena highly enough!
I can’t recommend Sam enough! My son had lessons with her for two years while preparing for his 11+, and she was absolutely wonderful with him. She was always so patient, kind and supportive, and made sure he felt encouraged every step of the way. She was also always there to answer any questions I had and was so helpful whenever I needed advice. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and support, and I’m so happy to say that my son passed his exam! We couldn’t have done it without her!
Sam has been amazing with my two girls. She is incredibly organised, supportive and encouraging, always making sure they felt confident and motivated. She has been such a positive influence, and we are so grateful for all her hard work and dedication. She genuinely cares about each student going above and beyond for them to achieve their full potential. If you are looking for a tutor I would highly recommend her services.
Two of my kids passed with Sam. She is fantastic because she cares. You can tell from the way she encourages the children and gives feedback to every parent after lessons. She teaches without pushing them to the brink and motivates the kids and they love her. I’m a teacher at heart, and I can spot a good teacher when I see one. Using Sam is the best gift you’ll give to your child. I can’t recommend her enough.
