Sam Szanto

I have almost 20 years' experience as a private tutor, working since 2009, primarily using the First Tutors website which closed down in May 2026. They have sent me my data, which includes a large number of five-star reviews from clients, which are available upon request,

I provide tutees with help to: understand the rules of grammar; improve their linguistic style; write essays or creative pieces; analyse literary texts; or prepare for an exam, piece of coursework or interview. The academic level of the children I have taught has varied immensely, from those achieving 9s at GCSE to those who need more help to achieve a pass, and I have assisted all of them in different ways; as well as raising their grades and helping them to pass an exam; many parents have commented that I have notably improved their child's confidence in the classroom. The children and adults whom I teach have commented that I am likeable and relaxed, and have made them enjoy and understand English.

I prefer to teach at my home, as this is where tutees usually learn and concentrate best, but can commute short distances. I teach using worksheets and texts, sometimes setting homework tasks. All my lessons are bespoke, focusing on aspects of the curriculum which the student needs to learn or on a particular aspect of English at which they need to improve. At the end of each lesson, I will discuss the content of the next lesson with the child and/or their parent.

I offer block-booking discounts for a set of booked lessons.
