My story
Finding Maths changed everything.
I didn't always love maths. For a long time, I could get bored with the way it was presented at school. However, during lockdown, I started exploring mathematics well beyond my school's curriculum and absolutely fell in love with it.
Mathematics is the incredible culmination of thousands of years of human knowledge, spanning across civilisations. All that work has gone into building us a language that allows us to understand the world in a way that no other subject can. At its heart, mathematics challenges us to think deeply and creatively and rewards us with an immense sense of accomplishment when we solve a difficult problem.
In our modern world, mathematics is ubiquitous. It sits behind physics, biology, music, architecture, chemistry, engineering, art, economics, finance, computing, AI, statistics and countless other fields. Becoming confident in mathematics is one of the best ways to keep doors open and stand out.
What I find most rewarding is seeing the change in a student's confidence after understanding a concept they previously found impossibly difficult. I have had a 100% pass rate with students I have prepared for examinations and have seen students achieve results well beyond the grades they originally thought possible.
I teach my sessions in English, but have also learnt Spanish and am currently learning Italian.

MATHEMATICS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Students learn from someone who is actively doing mathematics.
Alongside tutoring, I work as an independent researcher in quantum computing. My first research paper, written with Professor Ashley Montanaro at the University of Bristol, is now available as a preprint on arXiv.
The paper, Testing graph isomorphism using simple quantum circuits, grew from my Master's dissertation and asks how simple quantum circuits can help determine whether two graphs have the same underlying structure. We study the information encoded in the output distributions of IQP and QAOA circuits through a combination of theoretical results and numerical experiments.
My research involves advanced mathematics, quantum computing and algorithm design. This gives me a deep and constantly developing understanding of mathematics far beyond the school curriculum.
I believe that this depth of understanding makes a real difference when teaching. I am not simply teaching procedures from a textbook; I genuinely understand the mathematics behind the ideas I teach.
Most importantly, I bring that same passion and enthusiasm into every lesson. I want students not only to improve their results, but to grow in confidence, enjoy tackling difficult problems and discover just how motivating and beautiful mathematics can be.

“Mathematics is not just a collection of formulas to memorise. It is a language for understanding how the world works.”
Real students. Real progress.
Don't just take my word for it.
The best way to understand the MathsMaxing experience is to hear from students and families who have experienced it themselves.
Sammy is the best maths tutor I have come across! After many sessions with other tutors, Sammy was the one for me. He dramatically boosted my grades whilst I was struggling in foundation tier GCSE Maths. Sammy was able to help me achieve a grade 5 (the maximum grade in foundation), which I didn't think was possible. This then had a domino effect and got me into the college I wanted to go to, which has now helped me get into the university I've always wanted to go to. I feel like Sammy has played a vital part in my future career and I'm very…
I asked Sammy to tutor my two boys with a very clear target, to achieve the best grades in advanced maths A level for one, and maths "expert" group GCSE for the other (maths GCSE test taken in year 10). Sammy has shown great skills in shaping his approach for two different levels and opposite characters! Both my boys achieved beyond expectations and gained confidence and work routine that are still helping them in their studies today. I do greatly recommend Sammy and support his project to continue tutoring. Bravo!
I’m really happy with the support I got from Sam. The lessons helped me understand maths so much better and gave me a lot more confidence. Thanks to his help, I managed to achieve an A* in Maths. Sam was always helpful, patient and explained things clearly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their maths and get better grades.
