Information About Sam - Bath teacher

Personal Description:

I am a motivated and energetic musician and creative professional, who brings the strong personal disciplines of training, punctuality, reliability to all I do. I have a natural intellectual and artistic curiosity, which harnessed with my care for people as individuals, has seen me excel in teaching and youth work leadership alike.

While taking leadership roles from a young age in orchestras and sports teams, recently, I have intentionally sought opportunities that have developed my skill-set in communication, presentation, working with young people, and leadership in order to fulfil my desire to pursue creative opportunities within music and creative arts.

Tutoring Experience:

I have a passion for working with young people and students which has been realised in my local church community in Bath, and has been part of the youth team since 2018. This is a weekly gathering of young people, whom I have had the opportunity to mentor and work with, and teach them about the Christian faith.
