Sam - Putney tutor





Sam's profile picture

Information About Sam:


Personal Description:

I graduated from Cambridge University with a 2:1 in Pharmacology, then completed a Master's Degree in Cancer Biology at Imperial College London.

I am currently studying medicine at Imperial College.



Teaching Experience:

I have 4 years experience teaching IB, A-Level and GCSE Science and Maths on a one-to-one basis, and have received excellent feedback from students and parents alike.



Tutoring Approach:

I prefer to explain a principle with a student first, checking that they understand at various points and emphasising that they should stop and ask questions at any point. I then ask the student to explain, from the beginning, whatever the area may have been, in order to further confirm understanding. I also work through exam and textbook questions with the student, offering hints and answers as and when necessary.

I find past papers an excellent way to revise for exams and also to demonstrate the level of understanding needed.

Usually I like to recap/feedback to the student at the end of each lesson, but I can also provide a short summary by email to parents if you feel that could be helpful, in order to track progress.

I'm also happy to advise and assist with university applications, i.e personal statements, interview practice or entrance exams.
