I had the pleasure of watching Sam and his student Felix in their Maths session. Sam kept Felix constantly engaged during their session, using the whiteboard to great effect, demonstrating various financial principles like annuities and loans. His student asked many questions, and it was clear he was wanting to learn from Sam. Sam answered these questions in a very open way, not only answering the question but providing justification and demonstrating how he came to the answer. Thus helping guide his students work process, segmenting equations into smaller, more manageable mathematical problems.

He broke up the session and used his time wisely, designating time to explain a mathematics principle, then give Felix a problem related to the principle, then allow Felix to work it out in his book before finally going over his answer and explaining where he may have gone wrong or what he did strongly. Overall, it seemed like a great session full of engaging discussion and mutual respect. Well done Sam!
