It is harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. Ralph Waldo Emerson

I highly recommend Sam as a tutor and trainer. I had the pleasure of studying and working with Sam during my training for the Trinity Diploma in TESOL in 2018 and 2019. He is a driven, organised teacher who develops inspiring relationships with fellow teachers. We first met at Oxford House Barcelona during the Face to Face instance of our course. From the very beginning, he showed a real interest in helping other teachers. He built a wonderful rapport with all of us. He is always willing to provide support, feedback and a helping hand. He is a very knowledgeable and skilful teacher who happily shares his experience for the benefit of all. I am truly grateful to him because his support and advice during the Dip course were priceless. His feedback and comments have always been accurate, straight to the point, useful, clear and clarifying. He is a generous, wise and reliable fellow teacher and a dear friend who has the ability to motivate everybody around him.
