Samuel graduated with a First in Classics (Literae Humaniores) from the University of Oxford. At St Paul’s School he held both Junior and Senior Academic Scholarships and achieved A*s in English Literature, Latin and Ancient Greek, an A in History and 12 A*s at GCSE. He went on to train in law, studying for the GDL and LPC ahead of a training contract at Linklaters.
Samuel has tutored students for A-level Latin and Ancient Greek, and also offers A-level English Literature and History and most subjects at GCSE.
Samuel’s teaching centres on encouraging students to think creatively to solve the problems they meet. He believes rote learning leaves students poorly equipped for their exams and for intellectual development more broadly. He is happy working with students of all abilities and adjusts how much guidance he gives to suit each one.
