About Samy
WHAT IS MY EXPERIENCE?
⦁ At the City of London School for Boys, I have successfully taught pupils for IGCSE French and A level French who have gone on to both Oxford and Cambridge.
⦁ I know of the academic excellence and high expectations of selective UK independent schools
⦁ I have extensive experience tutoring students from the most prestigious schools in and around London, among them:
- City of London School for Boys, where I have taught French IGCSE and French A-level
- Latymer Upper School
- St Marylebone School
- Eltham College
- Radley College
- Wisbech Grammar School
- Mill Hill School
- Roedan School
- King Edward VI School for Girls
and many more.
⦁ Due to my long tutoring experience, I know of the high expectations put on students. This is why I take pride in delivering top level tuition in every lesson.
⦁ I have learned that tailoring learning strategies to every student's skills - language skills, and/or analytical skills for A level - significantly increase the pupil’s confidence and improve the chances to achieve his or her goals. This is how I can make a difference to the students' lives.

DO YOU SET HOMEWORK IN BETWEEN LESSONS?
⦁ Yes: it ensures that a lot of practice has been made before the next lesson, and saves valuable lesson time
⦁ Yes: I want to make sure the student knows what will be covered next time, according to a learning plan and learning objectives
⦁ Yes: the key to the student's rapid and sustainable progress is that every lesson ends with homework every time until the next tutoring session.
I have been very lucky to go through an excellent education, and I'm obsessed with the idea of giving back and helping those who need it.
Since I'm very young, I've always had an intimate connection with my native language, and I love to share my passion for how the language works and what it conveys.
