About Sammy
My name is Sammy, and I have been tutoring for two years — working with students from primary age through to GCSE and A-level candidates.
I have just completed my A-levels in Computer Science, Maths, Further Maths and Economics, with predicted grades of four A*s, and I hold an offer to study Computer Science at Durham University. Computer Science is the subject I am going on to study at degree level, and that depth of interest comes through in how I teach it.
Everything I teach is current. I know the present OCR specification, how examiners word their questions, and which topics students find most difficult — including the programming project, which I completed myself only months ago.
The feedback I receive most often from parents is twofold: grades improve, and their child stops finding the subject intimidating.

Most lessons open with a short retrieval starter — questions drawn from topics covered in previous weeks. I keep a running record of everything a student has learnt and deliberately revisit older material at spaced intervals, so nothing fades before the exam.
For theory topics — data representation, networks, logic, algorithms — lessons are built around questions, not lectures. I work through a problem while questioning the student at every step, then hand over more and more of the method until they can complete the full question unaided.
Programming is different: you learn it by writing code, not watching someone else write it. The student does the typing from the start. I guide, question and help debug — and debugging itself is treated as a skill to be taught, because it is where most marks and most confidence are lost.
For A-level students, I offer structured support with the programming project (NEA) — planning, design decisions and debugging technique — having recently completed my own.
New skills are consolidated through practice questions and coding exercises, with homework set where useful. Between lessons, I am always available by message, whether that is a piece of stuck code or a question the night before a test.

Sammy is a hardworking and upbeat tutor who always takes the time to explain things clearly. He’s great at breaking down tricky topics and making them easy to understand. I’ve learned a lot from him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and effective tutor!
I’d highly recommend Sammy. One of his best qualities as a maths tutor is the way he explains things in a calm and gentle manner, especially to pupils who can be frustrating, those who struggle with maths and young people resistant to learning. He has a way of adapting and tailoring his lessons to each pupil’s learning style.
Sammy also has a passion for maths that is a joy to see in his sessions. That passion really filters through to everyone he teaches and makes his lessons enjoyable, even for those without a love for the subject!!Sammy has been an exceptional tutor for my son during his GCSE exam preparation. His dedication, expertise, and ability to make complex topics understandable have been invaluable. My son has gained confidence and improved significantly under Sammy's guidance. Highly recommend his tutoring services!

Through tailored lessons, constructive feedback, and personalized study strategies, my tutor has not only boosted my knowledge but also my confidence in the subjects I struggled with. Their dedication and commitment to my progress have been remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful for their unwavering belief in my potential. Thanks to my tutor's continuous encouragement and belief in me, I have been able to achieve a remarkable academic growth that I never thought possible.
Sammy has been tutoring my son for over a year now and have really seen great improvement in him and is now really enthusiastic about his learning.
