About Me
I'm an English Literature and History graduate with a long-standing love of language and the many ways it unlocks the world around us. I’m particularly interested in how stories shape the way we understand people, power and wider society, whether that's through literature, shared history, or on screen.
Outside of tutoring, I have a deep passion for theatre and film, and spent several years working in film production before returning to education. That experience sharpened my eye for detail, structure and storytelling, all of which I like to think I bring into my teaching.
Tutor Experience
I’ve been tutoring since I was an A Level student, initially helping younger pupils prepare for their GCSEs, and this was something that I continued throughout my undergraduate studies, tutoring secondary-age students in English and History both online and in person. Since graduating, I’ve continued to support learners from 11+ through to A Level, with a particular focus on English Literature and History.
I specialise in helping students build confidence with essay writing, close reading, and planning under timed conditions. Whether a student is aiming for a top grade or just needs help making sense of the text, my goal is always the same: to make them feel more confident, more in control, and ready to succeed.

Client Reviews
Sam is an outstanding teacher demonstrated a deep knowledge and understanding of my son’s history project. He was able to provide plenty of resources for my son to work on his own at the same time guiding him to finalize somewhat challenging if he had done it by himself. Couldn’t be more happy with him
jeung - History
Sam helps so much with my writing and the structure of my essays. He knows both how to present the information that I want, and is also very knowledgable in the topic of history that I'm discussing. He's also very helpful when it comes to finding sources to use when writing and how to search for texts such as articles online. Sam is always accommodating for timing and makes a huge effort to set up regular meetings.
