Bio

There's a big problem that's stopping you from achieving: you aren't encouraged to question everything and make mistakes! I've spent the past 11 years tutoring people in this way of thinking with huge success in Maths & Physics:

On average, my students come to me with a C and they end up with an A!
No matter what you define success as, it always starts with the love of learning!

There's a big problem that's stopping you from achieving: you aren't encouraged to question everything and make mistakes! I've spent the past 11 years tutoring people in this way of thinking with huge success in Maths & Physics:

On average, my students come to me with a C and they end up with an A!
No matter what you define success as, it always starts with the love of learning!

I have studied, graduated and researched at the world's top Universities in Nuclear Astrophysics, Quantum Computing, Machine Learning and Particle Physics and most people ask me, how? Because I love learning & finding solutions to problems! The "hard work" was so fun!

So how is what I teach you different?
I tutor everyone the same process I used to be top of my class in Physics & Maths through School and University! I ignite the passion of solving a problem - this is natural to any human but has been lost. With this way of thinking, learning is not only incredibly fun but you can achieve anything!

It is so important to start with understanding the problem first, then you can work out how to solve it.

I have tutored all ages and abilities, through many thousands of hours tutoring in home and online tutoring, from England to the USA - I have honed my craft.
I also have been tutoring tennis for 16 years from beginners to professional athletes.

I was top in my High School class for Physics & Maths and this mindset carried me through my life. I have a Master's degree in Nuclear Astrophysics, with 4.0GPA from The University of Surrey and with the University of Notre Dame. I was a research scholar at the Notre Dame Nuclear Physics Lab and the Joint Institute of Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) where I designed, built, tested a new particle detector.
I researched Quantum Computing, Machine Learning and Particle Physics at Notre Dame also.

Most of all, I love seeing people find the love and excitement for Maths & Physics, just like I love doing.

Great tutoring session!

Sam had helped with my homework that I was struggling with. I wasn't able to understand what the professor asking in those questions. Thanks to Sam I was able to complete the homework and able to learn and understand the lecture he gave me. Thank you.
