My teaching style is relaxed yet structured.

Sam is an outstanding tutor! He helped me immensely with my 2000-word essay. We used ChatGPT for initial corrections, and Sam made sure my original message stayed intact. He was incredibly flexible, arranging multiple 60-minute lessons in one day to meet my urgent deadline. Together, we improved the coherence and readability of my essay in just 3.5 hours. I highly recommend Sam’s proofreading lessons! Thank you again!

I would like to share my appreciation for my teacher, Sam. He is always punctual, and his classes start on time, which I really respect. He has helped me build self-confidence, which has made a big difference in my studies.
Sam's classes are never boring. His teaching style is engaging and keeps me interested in the lessons. He also gives me flexibility, which makes learning more comfortable and effective for everyone.
He uses lots of examples to explain things clearly, which helps me understand better. Sam also encourages me to talk more in class, which has improved my speaking skills a lot.
Overall, Sam is an excellent teacher, and I am grateful for his support and dedication.
