Pronouns: She/her

Sam has worked in education since 2008, beginning their career as a lecturer in Further Education, followed by Higher Education for over a decade. Since 2019 they have been working as a specialist study skills tutor, supporting university students with specific learning differences.

With a background in teaching science-related subjects in a University, Sam has an intimate understanding of the requirements of this level of study, and how to develop the skills needed for success. They take a friendly, flexible approach that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Sam quickly identifies any barriers to learning and works with their students’ strengths to develop effective strategies for studying. This enables them to maximise their academic potential. Sam loves seeing their students succeed and aim to support them with other aspects of study such as presentation skills and stress management.

Sam loves learning new skills too and tries to challenge themselves in new ways! In their spare time, Sam is developing their landscape painting skills, completing a proofreading and copy-editing course and learning to play squash with friends.
