About Sam’s Tutoring: It was founded in 2009 operating under First Tutoring & Hoxton Tutoring in Bossley Park & Hoxton Park. It was born from three dedicated mentors (Sam, Robert & David) who wanted to change students outlook towards their education. Together we have helped over 3470 students (July, 2021) improve grades and more importantly regain confidence and motivation to make the impossible – possible! Our goal at Sam’s Tutoring is to empower students with the ability to becoming self-driven and self-motivated learners. Our belief is that maximising academic performance is just one aspect of many that drives better human beings. To achieve this, we believe it is important in developing a personal connection with the student compared to a normal student-teacher relationship. This is from our decade of experience in the tutoring space and our own experience in the schooling system. As a result, many of our students stay connected to us after high school and regularly provide anecdotal advice to incoming classes.
