About me

I am a third-year student at the University of Bristol studying for my Master's in Mathematics.

I have been teaching GCSE & A-Level Maths and Further Maths privately for four years.

I teach my sessions online, each is unique to best suit my tutee's needs. For example, some prefer to work through the problems on paper, explaining their reasoning as they go, while I write a model answer for them...
I am a third-year student at the University of Bristol studying for my Master's in Mathematics.

I have been teaching GCSE & A-Level Maths and Further Maths privately for four years.

I teach my sessions online, each is unique to best suit my tutee's needs. For example, some prefer to work through the problems on paper, explaining their reasoning as they go, while I write a model answer for them to copy. However, most prefer to work through the problems directly with me on the shared whiteboard.

I try to explain things in multiple ways so my tutees can develop a strong intuition for the mathematical concepts. I use methods not necessarily taught in school which massively simplify problems and still receive full marks.

I teach each tailored session over Teams or WhatsApp and use Lucidspark for the shared whiteboard.

Typically, each session lasts an hour but I am open to doing longer sessions.

I enjoy maths tutoring because I love turning difficult problems into something very doable for my students. It is always very rewarding to see a huge improvement in their problem-solving skills after only a few sessions.

I used to hate maths, so I can relate to those who don't have it as their favourite subject. However, during lockdown, I looked ahead online and fell in love with it. In school, Maths is taught as something rigid with a right and a wrong. This can give the wrong impression to students. Furthermore, its mandatory nature can feel like a chore, dissuading exploration of the subject. Although built from truth, Maths can be a very playful and creative subject. Moreover, whether we realise it or not, Mathematics is behind almost everything in our lives.

I am always looking for new tutees since mine quickly get good enough that they no longer need me! I have references from some of my previous tutees on my maths tutoring Instagram account @maths_with_sammy but I can get plenty more from other previous tutees if required.

The best way to reach me is to message me through Instagram @maths_with_sammy so I can give you my mobile number.

Sammy's trustworthiness is one of his standout qualities. He is not only reliable and punctual but also deeply committed to the success and well-being of his students. He takes the time to build meaningful relationships, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment. Students and parents alike commend his integrity and honesty, which have been the foundation of his professional reputation. In terms of skill, Sammy possesses an impressive mastery of mathematics. His academic background is robust, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to convey complex concepts in an accessible and engaging manner. He tailors his teaching methods to suit each student's individual learning style, making difficult topics more manageable and even enjoyable. I found his patience and creativity often turn challenges into opportunities for discovery and growth, making me far more confident. In conclusion, Sammy is a highly skilled and trustworthy mathematics tutor who goes above and beyon

Sammy was a great tutor and whenever I was struggling with a question would help me understand it in a clear and easy way. Would not have passed my a-level maths without him!
