About me

I am now back in the UK teaching learners from all over the world online. I′ve taught in companies, government institutions and in private settings with adults and younger learners.

Once we′ve established your needs and motivations, I will create a course that is tailored to you. I like to find out what makes you tick so we can have engaging, dynamic and memorable sessions that will allow you to put your English into practice in a natural and meaningful manner.

Whether you want to learn English for work in a specific domain, prepare for exams or thrive in an English-speaking environment, we will come up with actionable goals and approach them with dedication while having fun along the way.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have a background in the arts. My interests include writing fiction, reading, visiting exhibitions and playing the drums (badly!).

I was very happy to have this English course! My teacher Sam asked me in the beginning, what problems do I have in my English and made our lessons maximum effectivelly. We worked through the sections of grammar that were difficult for me, such as tenses, prepositions and articles. With Sam's help I learned the vocabulary during a telephone conversation, which is important for possible future work and everyday life. Sam constantly paid respect to my wishes and concerns in certain areas and explained in detail and patiently. I especially liked his naturalness and humor, as if he spoke to me on an equal level of knowledge of the language☺ And the main feeling I've got after each lesson was my growing self confidence in my English level! 10 sessions passed very fast, but I found them very professional and effective. Thank you OTUK and Sam!

My teacher (Sam S.) is very professional and friendly. I like the teaching method and every lesson I feel more confortable. I needed some lessons until september 16 for a meeting, but, after some lessons, I decided to continue

Sam is a fantastic teacher, he helped me prepare for the speaking C2 Esol exam. Not only did he give me useful suggestions, but he also provided English expressions, phrasal verbs, collocations which are strategic to pass the exam. He is also very friendly and always put me at easy. I heartily recommend Sam if you want to improve your English.
