Sam is a highly competent teacher, lecturer and writer.

Samuels is a personable young man who is approachable and easy to talk with. He demonstrates a high level of intuitive ability when it comes to recognising the needs of the students and for this reason he is able to be inclusive in his teaching and creates a positive learning environment. He is ever willing to learn and to seek advice in order to further his skills and his teaching. Samuels has a lively sense of humour and maintains a positive outlook even when he is under pressure within a busy school environment. He values and respects those around him and enjoys being part of a team but at the same time is able to work independently and make postive decisions. Samuels already shows excellent classroom control and has the potential to be an asset to any school environment that has high standards and expectations of its students. I wish him well in his future teaching career.
