About Me

I am a recent graduate of Bard College, where I studied Written Arts and Arabic. I wrote a 70,000 word novel as my senior thesis, and I am now attempting to have it published. I love cooking, and in the past I worked as a cook in a restaurant. I also worked as manual laborer for a landscape company, but, unfortunately, that did not lead to a love of gardening. I am an avid reader of all genres, and I love movies and TV as well. I love to travel , and I love languages, although my fluency in anything but English is questionable.

Q&A with Samuel

Students learn best when they enjoy the topics they are studying. I try to teach materials that students will find fascinating. How would you help a student stay motivated? Motivation and interest are closely related. It is difficult to stay motivated when study materials are boring, so I try to build fun and interesting lessons. Additionally, I ask students to set academic goals, as there are few greater motivations than the reward of success! If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
