I'm Samuel from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — a civil engineering graduate with a passion for programming, music, and lifelong learning. I play guitar, write code, and love exploring new ideas. I speak Amharic (native), English, and intermediate French.
Me as a Teacher
As a language tutor, I focus on what truly matters for beginners:
- Teaching the most useful words and phrases first
- Showing you how to build real sentences from day one
- Explaining grammar naturally, in context — not in isolation
- Making learning simple, practical, and enjoyable
My lessons & teaching style
I focus on the most commonly used words and phrases in real conversations. You'll learn them through examples, build your own sentences, and get personal feedback. I use spaced repetition to review past content and emphasize full conversation practice from day one. After each lesson, I’ll send a 10–15 min YouTube audio exercise and, if you’d like, a written transcript for extra reading and review. My goal is to help you speak and understand with confidence — not just memorize.

Sam has been phenomenal. He is very organized, has prepared great resources with coordinated lesson plans that build on eachother over time and uses a very conversation based approach which builds confidence quickly. 10/10!

I have progressed more than i imagined. He has a brilliant way of conjugating more words to enable me to make sentence. He also makes me regurgitate words from past lessons which helps me to remember. Worth every penny.

I feel I have progressed so much since having been Samuel as my teacher, I am looking forward to seeing how far I develop.
