About Sam
I am an experienced philosophical logic tutor, with a master's degree from the University of St Andrews (distinction), and a bacherlor's from the University of Edinburgh (first class). My work has focused primarily on utilising formal methods from the philosophy of language and philosophical logic to solve complex problems across a range of philosophical areas.
I have six years’ experience working as a private writing tutor and editor for university students studying for degrees in philosophy, as well as other social sciences and humanities subjects.
I have been recognised for achievement in the philosophies of mind and language, as well as literature and theology, receiving Edinburgh's James Hutchison Stirling Prize in 2017 and Dods Prize in 2016. I spent the 2018/19 academic year as a visiting student at UC Berkeley, and my work has been published in 'Stance: An International Undergraduate Philosophy Journal'.
When I’m not philosophising, I am an ambitious cook and food fantasiser, and a vociferous consumer of football and related content. Feel free to message me with any inquiries!

As an experienced tutor, I know that every student is different; each has their own unique needs and learning styles, and I try to reflect this in my tutoring. I like to spend time getting to know my students, finding out what they’re looking for, and what style of tuition works for them. I am happy to organise sessions around clarifying complex material from lectures and readings, but am always keen to emphasise the importance of foundational analytical skills to engaging with this material. Likewise, I am always willing to provide help and guidance with particular assignments: discussing essay questions, proof-reading drafts, and assisting with problem sets; but am equally happy just having a causal chat about philosophy.

Perfect! This is completely overdue, but Sam's tutoring on modal logic saved me from failing first year! It was a subject that terrified me and that I was not making sufficient progress with on my own. I ended up passing it, and actually developed an appreciation for the subject in the process. Sam was consistently affable, patient, polite and proposed creative solutions which helped me reach a deeper understanding of the subject on my own terms. I'm eternally grateful for his support and can't recommend him enough for anyone with similar problems with logic, or other aspects of philosophy. I'm now in fourth year and still wonder where I'd be if I hadn't reached out ★★★★★ Many thanks again
Perfect! Awesome teacher, super helpful! Sam is really patient and professional, I'm really happy to do logic with him.
Perfect! Excellent tutor- really helped to better my understanding of Aristotelian and propositional logic. Would absolutely recommend!
Perfect! Incredibly friendly, helpful and super keen on getting students to the best level achievable. Highly highly recommend!
Perfect! Sam really helped me understand propositional logic. He explained everything to me in a very simple and effective way which suited me much more than what i was being taught in lectures. 10/10 tutoring.
Perfect! Sam was very helpful when I was learning CSL and CPL. He explained things clearly, went out of his way to give me new practice questions and responded quickly to any questions I had. Couldn't have asked for a better tutor, and I went from nearly failing to a 2:1.
Perfect! Great tutor, i went from failing at symbolic logic at university and not understanding anything to passing with ease. Give him a try and you wont regret it.
Perfect! Wonderful help - incredibly flexible, understanding, knowledgeable, and patient! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Intend to do lessons in future with Sam.
Perfect! Sam was a fantastic asset in helping me grip my undergraduate-level logic exercises and provided me with some first class resources to help me on my way!
Perfect! Really quick response which was great because I had a deadline. Helped me with some material I had struggled with and challenged some of the answers I was giving in a positive way. Really glad to have had this session with Sam. He is very knowledgable and analytical. Will be using him again.
Perfect! Sam is an excellent tutor! He is incredibly patient with me and has a good sense of when and what help I need. Sam will never make you feel bad for asking a question or asking to go over something again. He works hard to make sure I get the best out of the subject and my tutoring and is willing to go above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable about logic and would be an excellent tutor for anyone doing logic at undergrad. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Perfect! awesome tutor, nice guy and really great teaching style - broke down really tricky topics into accessible and easily understandable exercises with helpful and considerate explanation - would definitely recommend.
