Description: Samuel has a 1st class degree in Mathematics and is a tutor in both Maths and Oxbridge Applications. He has also been responsible for marking entrance tests for the Mathematical Institute at Oxford. Here is a snippet of his tutor profile.
I’ve found that students respond well to a direct teaching method: working with pencil and paper, or the online equivalent, and establishing firm mathematical foundations. I believe very strongly in the importance of practice and simple logic in mathematics. Students do not need to be naturally gifted – in fact in my early school years I was closer to the bottom of mathematics classes than the top – but I improved through practice and step-by-step understanding. I can’t practice on behalf of students, but I can aid their understanding with clear, uncomplicated teaching.
I have taught many students including:
- Grade 8 students in South Africa
- an advanced (Master’s-level) university student preparing to write GREs (American university entrance tests)
- Grade 11 and 12 in South Africa
- a first-year university student
