I highly recommend Samuel as an English tutor.

I first met Samuel in Montréal while I was studying English at Cégep Vanier. At that time, I was a complete beginner in English, and he made me feel comfortable and confident throughout my learning journey.

What I appreciate most about Samuel's teaching is his patience, kindness, and encouragement. He always believes in his students and constantly reminds us that we are capable of succeeding. His positive attitude gave me the confidence to keep improving, even when learning English felt challenging.

One experience that has stayed with me is what happened after I finished my first English course at Cégep. When we reconnected, Samuel generously continued to coach me through Zoom because his goal was to help me improve my English. He recognized my motivation to learn and wanted to support me. During every lesson, he took the time to explain concepts clearly and always made sure I truly understood before moving on.

Samuel is not only an excellent teacher but also a caring, generous, and dedicated person. I am very grateful for his support and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring English tutor.

I have known Sam for about 10 years as a colleague and a friend. We worked as teachers together in a full-time EAP program. At the school, I would be the next in line once Sam’s students had completed his level. In my class, his students mentioned on many occasions how much they had learned in his class and how much they appreciated his thorough method of instruction. He helped beginner students get over their fear of expressing themselves in English. This is not an easy task at the beginner level. In his classes, he uses current events that are relevant to the students to pique their interest so that they would want to express their opinions. He has a vast knowledge of different cultures that helps him to understand the needs of his students and how to meet them. He also does a fair bit of prep work to be able to meet his students’ needs.
