About Us

Hi there,

I’m Sam (BA Hons, PGCE, MA Ed), the founder and CEO of WordPower Tutoring.

I am a fully qualified Primary Teacher with over 15 years experience of successfully teaching English to children from ages 4-12. I am also a literacy specialist, leading literacy teaching in schools across the world.

I am passionate and committed to delivering high quality English teaching to enable children to reach their full potential and to give learners the skills and knowledge they need to have successful and happy futures.

Undertaking my teacher training in the U.K, I am fully trained in planning and delivering outstanding phonics instruction.

England is ranked globally, the fourth country in the world for teaching reading, due in part to it’s focus on quality phonics teaching. I have taught phonics and English for 15 years in a range of public and private schools across the UK and Australia and achieved outstanding results; teaching phonics as a fundamental part of successful literacy instruction.

As an experienced English teacher and private tutor who has experienced immense success teaching English to hundreds of students, I have founded WordPower Tutoring to share my rich knowledge, resources, experience and teaching instruction with your child to accelerate their English success.

We offer a bespoke tutoring experience which is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach, but rather is a learning experience that strategically addresses the specific English needs of your child. We use phonics as foundational ‘building blocks’ to support the successful growth of reading and writing skills. We understand the significance and vitalness of phonics in outstanding literacy instruction.

We appreciate the barriers that children who struggle with English face and are skilled at putting them at ease, developing their confidence and growing their self esteem. We are particularly passionate about motivating disengaged or unconfident learners to the fulfillment of their English potential. We know that children learn best when they are engaged, comfortable and having fun.

At WordPower Tutoring, we are passionate about quality English instruction and are highly knowledgeable in quality texts to engage your child. We believe that reading and writing should be enjoyable and want to inspire your child to begin a lifelong love of English.

In my spare time I love reading and writing and I have two primary age daughters who I taught to read using phonics at age 3 and 4. This fluency was developed solely by explicit phonics teaching.

Having children of my own, I keenly understand the desire as a parent to give our children the best possible start in life and to do everything we can to secure their successful future. I am invested and dedicated to supporting your child to achieve success and confidence with their English goals.

I look forward to working with your family to support your child’s successful English journey.

Let’s get going!

Sam
