5-star Google review from Leon Santos: I came out of year 12 pretty disheartened and worried as my grades were not at all at the level I wanted them to be. Especially for economics in which I had ended the year on a U, I thought I just needed more time to settle into the course but it had gotten to UCAS mocks and I was still on a D so I wasn't sure where to go or how to improve. I quite enjoyed the content and was following the classes but I hated the exams and couldn't master the exam technique at all so I talked to my parents and ended up using Reynolds education just to see if having a tutor could help. Being able to use high level examiners in order to have any questions marked properly was incredibly helpful and then talking over the papers and going into depth in regards to diagrams and high level content allowed me to not only master the exam technique but also excel myself past my previous level. The constant past paper practice under timed conditions and the examiner marking was incredibly useful for not only economics but also subjects like business as it helped to increase my writing speed and spot patterns in my work that I could repeat in further mocks and even the actual exams. I ended my time at sixth form with economics being my favourite subject and I even won the top economics student award in my school whilst also coming out with an A in my final exams (something I never thought possible as my goal was just to get a C/B). To summarise, Reynolds education is definitely worth it if you're struggling with economics and I recommend it for any student who either struggles with timing and exam technique or who simply wants to complete past papers consistently and have them marked at a high level with expert feedback.
5-star Superprof review from Max: Amazing tutor
5-star Superprof review from Elizabeth: Sam's economics sessions were very useful to my student. He gave some good tips on essays as well as identified some knowledge gaps. He is responsive, resourceful and professional.
5-star review from Mark (Mr): Sam quickly established a rapport with our Son and was able to help establish the gaps in his A level Economics knowledge. This meant sessions were productive with rapid feedback given in terms of exam question practice
5-star Google review from Angelika Imber: Sam has been an excellent tutor. He is professional and supportive and offers detailed feedback and follows up on any challenging areas. Highly recommend
5-star Google review from Ryaan Khawaja: Sam is an amazing tutor and I would highly recommend him to everyone. His detailed feedback on any marked pieces of work has improved my skills in Economics. Thanks to his guidance, I feel much more confident about my upcoming exams.
5-star Superprof review from Zara: Excellent at explaining. Very well prepped before lessons!
5-star Trustpilot review from Zachary Denham: Great Tutor. Brilliant Tutor. Doesn't just teach you the content, but drills the reasoning in as well. Really helpful so far, and looking forward to the coming year of support!
5-star Superprof review from Mia: Sam is truly exceptional, always responding promptly and addressing my questions right away. He is not only responsible and diligent but also very attentive, offering personalized guidance based on my needs. His support has been incredibly helpful to me, and I am deeply grateful for his dedicated efforts!
5-star Google review from Jasper Gittoes: Great tutor, would definitely recommend! Thanks to Sam I was able to secure my university offer of three As. He helped me with not only economics but also how to actually write a structured argument, which I don’t think was taught well in school. He also teaches in a way that allows you to understand the mechanics of the content in depth, so that you are able to do more than regurgitate memorised information. You’d be lucky to have him as your tutor.
5-star Superprof review from Sara: Sam assisted our son get ready for his Economics mock A-Level. They were well-set up, there was early entry into practising exam questions, thorough marking and great feedback.
5-star Trustpilot review from Nicky W: I went from a C to an A* thanks to Sam. In my year 12 end of year econ exams I achieved a C grade and for the start of year 13 I was consistently getting Bs and Cs. I just wasn't able to break through to an A. I started online lessons with Sam just before Christmas. With his understanding and experience of the subject beyond the syllabus and more importantly his familiarity with the exam technique needed to answer each question, in just a few lessons I started scoring Bs and my first few As. Every week leading up to the exam Sam set homework tasks to revise, giving personalised feedback every time and tracking my progress making sure I understood everything thoroughly. I went from dreading econ lessons to genuinely enjoying them and on results day I was pleased to have achieved an A*. Great tutor, can't recommend him enough.
5-star Google review from Roro Ayanru: Went from an Ds and Es in all my mocks throughout sixth form to an A in the real thing!!! Sam is so helpful, clear and patient when teaching. The lesson planning to ensure we keep going over the same important things in different ways until they stick to get the most marks in exams is great and really well thought out, and group lessons didn't feel intimidating whatsoever, I was so comfortable asking questions at any time. The examiners are also incredible and the turnaround is so quick, having full papers marked every single week for most of Year 13 really helped me with my exam technique and allowed me to get marks as high as 91% in Paper 1 (!!!!). Honestly could not recommend enough, best tutoring I've ever had and helped me get into my dream uni!!
5-star Trustpilot review from Pavel: Sam is a great tutor in Economics. Sam is a great tutor in Economics. He is able to explain complex concepts in a straightforward way. Last year, I had difficulties with applied economic models, but with Sam's help, I quickly became familiar with the models and I significantly improved my grades.
5-star Superprof review from Atheer: Excellent explanation and I will recommend my friends to book lesson with Sam. Thank you Sam.
5-star Google review from Natasha Lucas: We have known Sam for over 2 years now, he did an absolutely amazing job with both of my children who took economics for their A levels. I was very lucky to have found Sam when my son started economics in the lower 6th, but having done no economics previously found it hard going to start with. Sam not only got him up to speed with the subject very quickly, he made him look at many everyday things from the economics point of view and my son absolutely loved it. The same applied to my daughter who started her A level economics a year later. Sam offers past economics papers as homework and provides amazingly detailed feedback which is truly invaluable. It doubles up the exposure to economics writing and gives fantastic guidance within the subject. It is a huge comfort to me as a parent to know that we have Sam whenever my child needs support, explaining or a bit of guidance with the subject. I also love how easy it is to organise a tutoring session with Sam because of the range of online tools Sam uses to facilitate the process. I cannot thank Sam enough for all the help over the past few years!
5-star Superprof review from Michelle: Very understanding and his methods of teaching are very calm and clear. Amazing.
5-star Superprof review from Sara: Sam assisted our son get ready for his Economics mock A-Level. They were well-set up, there was early entry into practising exam questions, thorough marking and great feedback.
5-star Superprof review from YM: Very knowledgeable and always pushes you to think further. He is organised and clearly answers any questions you have. All in all a fantastic tutor.
5-star Trustpilot review from Lola: Great Experience Learning Economics with Sam. I took both micro and macroeconomics lessons with Sam during my first year studying Management at LSE. He was a fantastic teacher—clear, engaging, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I understood the material. His explanations made complex concepts easy to grasp. Highly recommend!
5-star Google review from Rohan Zahoor: With a structured approach to tutoring, each session feels truly valuable. I've consistently felt and measured my progression week to week. The reliability and clear framework of the tutoring have made a profound impact on my academic success. Recommended for those willing to put in the work.

5-star Superprof review from Mingyu: Really great tutor! He is experienced and can explain things vividly. He also did more than he had to outside the lesson!
5-star Trustpilot review from Tiffany: Great Economics Tutor. Took Econ lessons for my A levels (AS) this year and I found the feedback on my Economics homework extremely useful, especially because it's hard to mark my own work. The explanations on where my responses went wrong, along with examples of strong answers were invaluable in helping me improve. I also really benefited from how we reviewed school tests together and reflected on how to do better. This approach genuinely contributed to my AS-level grade (U1: 92/100 UMS & U2: 100/100 UMS), and I'm so grateful for the support!
5-star Google review from Nikash Pandit: Sam is a great tutor. I've been with him since the start of my GCSEs and he's guided me to a 9 in IGCSE Economics and an A* predicted A Level Economics. He makes lessons interesting by bringing in other aspects of economics outside the specification, deepening my overall understanding of economics simultaneously. I'd gladly recommend him to any one of my peers.
5-star Superprof review from Julia: You have been a star! Thank you so much! Johnny said you are the best teacher he has ever had - that says it all! Please let me know what else you tutor, as there are more APs next year!
5-star Trustpilot review from Amelia: B to A* in 2 months. I had little help at school, and my grades were stuck at a B. Sam completely turned things around — he knows literally everything about economics and explains it with constant real-world examples that actually stick with you. He made the subject make sense for the first time. Thanks to him, I went from a B to an A*, and honestly, without his help there's no way I would've got the top grade. Can't recommend him enough.
5-star Superprof review from Lily S: Sam is a reliable tutor. I love his teaching style. Above all, rather than simply teaching, let the child think and solve it on his own. I can highly recommend him.
5-star review from Darren (Mr): Awesome teacher for higher level prep - oxbridge interview type questions etc. Super professional.
5-star Superprof review from Brock: Sam is very organized, and is a great economics instructor for all ages.
5-star Google review from yuehui: I am so fortunate to have found Sam as an oxbridge interview tutor. After trialling several different tutors, I felt most supported by Sam's tutoring. His lessons have pushed me to think further than I have before, building my confidence and strengthening my economic understanding.
5-star Superprof review from Daiyang: Really enjoyed the lesson, Sam explains things in such a simple way that everything I asked him that I didn't understand makes sense now
5-star Superprof review from Josefine: Sam explained a theory so well, my son instantly understood it and was able to apply it. That's a good skill!!
5-star Superprof review from Ahryn: Sam's lessons are both entertaining and highly informative. I always look forward to them and leave each session having learned so much. I definitely recommend him!
5-star Superprof review from Melinda: Excellent knowledge and ability to explain economics in simple terms. Thank you Sam!!
5-star Google review from Paul Durno: My son was tutored by Sam in group lessons in year 13 and this was instrumental in helping him achieve the required mark for his first choice University. The group lessons were interactive & engaging and cemented the core principles. The exam guidance and particularly the essay structure were really helpful. Sam's approach with past papers was excellent, very methodical, prompt marking, feedback and tracking, was perfect preparation. Weaknesses were highlighted and addressed. I thoroughly recommend Sam.
5-star Google review from Akshay Bala: Sam really helped me with A-Level economics taking me from a B in year 12 to an A*. Sam is extremely helpful due to his in depth knowledge meaning he could go further into topics than in school and ensure my understanding is correct so that I can ensure my analysis and evaluation can achieve the highest grades. Also being in small group sessions is particularly helpful as I came across different arguements and ideas that I didn’t think of. Also Sam ensures that students engage is lots of practice papers and questions which is the only real metric of progress for A-Level. Most students won’t be able to get their worked marked and receive feedback by their school teachers and since the markers are also the actual examiners their feedback can really help you achieve the highest grades.
5-star Superprof review from Dan: In Depth knowledge of Econ and great at explaining when not understanding questions.
5-star Superprof review from Angelo: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SAM! HIGHLY ORGANISED, PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIVE. PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF ECONOMICS. CONCEPTS EXTREMELY WELL EXPLAINED AND THEN APPLICATIONS DISCUSSED EFFORTLESSLY. EXPERT ESSAY WRITER AND ASSIGNMENT WRITER PROVIDING ON THE MONEY CRITIQUE THAT WAS ACTIONABLE. THOUGHT INSPIRING TUTES THAT ENCOURAGE EXCELLENCE ENSURING EXCELLENT RESULTS. CANNOT RECOMMEND SAM HIGHLY ENOUGH FOR HIS INTELLECT AND PRACTICAL HELP . 5 STARS.
5-star Trustpilot review from Priya: Reynolds Education Experience. Before joining Sam's classes I struggled with applying my Economics knowledge to exam questions and achieving the grades I wanted. Sam made difficult topics much easier to understand and helped me significantly improve my exam technique and confidence. I’m really happy to have achieved an A in Economics, and I genuinely feel that his support played a big part in getting me there. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking to improve their understanding, confidence and grades in Economics!
5-star Superprof review from Hien: My daughter is studying A Level Economics with Sam and has found the lessons to be excellent. Sam is well prepared and passionate about his subject. My daughter gains knowledge from Sam. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

5-star Superprof review from Kay: Very clear in giving feedback and developing next steps.
5-star Superprof review from K now: Sam is not only good at teaching economics, but he also knows how to write logical and passionate personal statements. Thanks to his quality tutorials every time, I know what Cambridge needs. I'm also familiar with Cambridge's interviews. In addition, because I should get used to interviews with complete strangers, he kindly introduced me to an acquaintance who graduated from Cambridge. He is a very kind teacher who cares about his students. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to study economics, especially economics at the University of Cambridge!
5-star Google review from Saanvi Gupta: Sam has been incredibly helpful throughout our sessions. He explained complex concepts clearly and patiently, always ensuring I truly understand the material.
