As a tutor for over eight years, I have extensive experience mentoring and teaching students of all ages and levels. Instead of making students memorize formulas and plug-and-chug to get answers, I encourage them to understand the principles behind each problem. My favorite teaching moment is helping students create their own examples and analogies to achieve that "eureka" moment when everything clicks.

In May of 2020, I graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi from Brown U...

Provided helpful guidance and advice! Offered great resources. Assisted me with a study plan, worked through practice questions, and suggested various techniques for improvement!

Samuel is an amazing MCAT tutor! During our first lesson, he helped create a day-to-day schedule for what the two weeks until my MCAT would look like. As someone who was struggling with the organizational component of self-studying, this was extremely helpful! He gave me great recommendations for when to take FLs, what to practice each day, etc. During our other sessions, we would go over my recent FLs and UWorld questions that I had missed. He sent me so many resources to help organize my progress in studying (for example, a Google Sheets to keep track of which questions I missed and why I missed them), and he was always available when I was in need of help! I would highly recommend him.

Samuel was amazing! My son had 2 sessions so far and enjoys every second of his sessions with Samuel. He was struggling with Balancing Chemical equations for his Honors Chemistry class and finding Samuel was a gift!! My son had the ?click moment? and is super happy and can?t wait for more sessions with him!! Highly recommend Samuel!????

After every single lesson, without fail, Samuel has helped me through every problem I've ever had regarding the AP Calculus AB curriculum. Not only did my understanding get deepened by our meetings, but he has also offered a safe and helpful environment for me to ask questions. I have yet to feel awkward when approaching him for help. Sam is very understanding of schedules, and helpful overall as a tutor.

And can already feel the difference! Samuel is helping my daughter prepare for AP in Spanish. He is organized, knowledgeable and confident. So glad we found him.
- Frances B. from New York, NY
Sam taught my son AP calculus this past weekend and he was really good and to the point. Absolutely awesome. We have had several tutors in the past but he is amazing and we are so happy to have found him
- Rubina A. from Panama City, FL
At every session Sam has a warm up problem for my son. He carefully explains algebra concepts. He is thorough and does not let my son cut any corners. He bridges one concept into the next.
- Laurel E. from Minneapolis, MN
We are off to a good start! All smiles and looking forward to the next session. Made the material easy to understand.
- Lesley P. from Somerset, NJ
Samuel is very engaging, provides clear instructions, and offers great tips for learning Calculus! My son felt completely lost his first week of AP Calculus BC. From the first lesson, my son felt a sense of relief. By the second lesson, he was already understanding his homework assignment. He is looking forward to the next session.
- Michelle O. from La Grange, IL
Samuel has challenged Katie throughout their time preparing for her SAT. She has responded so well to his style of teaching!! We are looking forward to seeing the results of their hard work.
- Elizabeth S. from Fort Belvoir, VA
Samuel has really helped my daughter with her precalculus skills and has also been doing review for the ACT and SAT. She feels much more confident in her skills and has improved a lot! He is very responsive and makes it so easy to schedule sessions. I highly recommend him!
- Marianne K. from Brooklyn, NY
Thank you so much Sam for your flexibility in fitting in 2 practices this week for studying for the SAT. Maddie has never been able to finish the math problems and she did this time. Thank you again for preparing her! She feels she did better this time around and we have you to thank!
- Maddie M. from Charlotte, NC
Sam has helped me identify what aspects of the ACT and SAT that I am better or weaker in to help me focus my studying. He gave me valuable resources for self-studying and went over concepts that I needed help with. Overall, I would highly recommend studying with Sam.
- Andrea N. from Columbus, OH
I began doing sessions with Samuel for high school Chemistry during the second half of the school year. He helped to raise my grade from 82% to 90% in just a few months. He explains concepts clearly and thoroughly in ways that are easy to understand. I had tried several Chemistry tutors before Samuel, and none of them could explain things as clearly and straightforwardly as he could. He is also really nice and made doing Chemistry homework way more enjoyable. 11/10 would recommend. Thank you for all your help Sam!
- Alexa W. from Stamford, CT
Samuel taught me AP Chemistry. He didn't just run through a bunch of problems. He explained the concepts and we worked through problems together. This was extremely helpful because, once I understood the concept, everything became much easier. He also is a great teacher. I would highly recommend Samuel.
- Sarah C. from Wainscott, NY
Samuel helped me prepare for my huge calculus exam. He was always very patient and eager to help even after the sessions by sending helpful review material. He always tried to make sure I understood the material instead of just memorizing formulas. Thank you so much for all of your help!
- Jessie G. from Teaneck, NJ
Samuel is tutoring AP Chemistry for our son who is a junior high school student. Since the first session our son has absolutely loved Samuel's teaching style and his clear and schematic presentation of complex AP Chemistry concepts. Samuel communicates promptly, clearly, and very reliably. You can immediately appreciate Samuel's strong passion about teaching. He is absolutely the best tutor that our son has ever had. We feel very fortunate to have found such a talented and effective teacher, and wholeheartedly recommend Samuel as a tutor.
- Gentian K. from Auburndale, MA
My daughter immediately liked Samuel. He was able to explain college chemistry to her in easier to understand terms than her instructors. She looks forward to future sessions.
- Sydney K. from Raleigh, NC
Best dang tutor in the whole dang world. He helps to the best of his knowledge, and that knowledge is quite expansive
- Patrick P. from Hattiesburg, MS
