About Sam
My name is Sam, and I’ve been studying Japanese for more than half a decade. As a foreign speaker of Japanese, I can approach teaching with a more empathic perspective. Having gone through the same struggles, I’m aware of the difficulty in gaining an understanding of certain aspects of the language due to it being so different to English, as well as having first-hand knowledge on how to address them.

Learning a new language (especially Japanese) can be a daunting, morale-diminishing task. However, it doesn’t have to be. It can be a fun process with rewarding results. Through my experience of learning the language, most of the obstacles I faced were not to do with the language itself, but the lack of “how to” knowledge and proper tools. Overcomplicated grammar explanations are not for everyone. “Feeling” your way to an accurate understanding of how the language actually works through various examples and situations is a far more natural and enjoyable way to learn. English is not Japanese. So using it to explain Japanese has a tendency to lead to confusion and disheartenment.

Perfect! Sam is a fantastic tutor, with interests in games, anime and other Japanese cultures its very easy to relate subjects to help me understand the complexities of the language.
Perfect! Sam is a fantastic tutor. He's currently teaching my 12-year-old son and is incredibly patient, knowledgeable and adapted his lessons to accommodate my son's current level, which is appreciated!
Perfect! Great and interesting introduction and I’m looking forward to continuing my learning journey with Sam!
- Caroline was both attentive and inquisitive during our lesson. Making a conscientious effort to map out the next steps in her learning journey. With her history in regards to language learning, and her ability to understand concepts that are fairly alien to native English speakers, I’m excited to see her inevitable progress.Sam's response :
Perfect! I found Sam to be very amiable, also patient and understanding of my situation being an absolute beginner and created a safe learning space. I would recommend Sam.
- Thanks Peter! I’ve sent you all the practise material as well as some voice notes for you to reference. Keep practising pronunciation and pay attention to how long each syllable lasts. Well done today and see you next week!Sam's response :

Sam's a really great tutor. He's patient and supportive, which helps a lot when I run into things I find difficult. He's able to draw on his own experience of learning Japanese to break down the unfamiliar concepts and suggest approaches to make them understandable. I'd surely have given up a long time ago if it hadn't been for Sam's help.
I recently had the privilege of experiencing Japanese language lessons with Sam, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
From the very first session, it was clear that Sam possesses a deep understanding of the Japanese language and culture, which he conveys with passion and clarity.
His teaching methodology is both engaging and effective, making learning a complex language feel accessible and enjoyableSam is extremely amiable and easy to get on with. He provides a very comfortable learning atmosphere which helps the learning experience, especially when you feel like you’re struggling with something. Ain’t no stupid questions in his classroom!
I’ve been taking lessons from Sam for around 2 months now. I was really struggling to understand how particle combinations worked. He broke in down for me in just a few short phrases. It turned out to be a lot simpler than I’d first imagined!
A patient and understanding teacher. Sam has always been willing to go above and beyond to make sure I got as much as possible out of my time with him. I tried for years to learn Japanese and made more progress with Sam than in three times as long without him.
