About Me

Over the past few years, I've tutored over 100 clients of all ages and in a wide variety of subjects. It is because of these experiences that I can say with confidence just how simple tutoring can be, either for you, or your child. As early as the very first session, through diagnostic tests and conversations, we can discover the unique learning style that will suit each client the best, tailoring future learning specifically to them. This dedication to understanding how each client thinks separates the way I teach from that of other tutors: It's never going to be about wrote memorization or cramming material for an upcoming test. Instead, all subjects will be taught to students in ways that ensure the concepts will make sense and stick for years to come, even going so far as to occasionally review past material to form solid frameworks for new topics. A large portion of my experience tutoring has been in Test Prep areas, such as helping students prepare for the SAT. Knowing just how much a great score can help with college applications, I strive to see each and every student perform the best they possibly can on these tests. To that end, I have not only a large amount of experience helping others with the SAT, but also a number of tips and tricks from my own time studying for the test. Whether you've taken the SAT already, or never before, and whether your ideal score is just 50 points higher, or 500, any score is closer than you can imagine. After a few sessions with me, I can guarantee a client will enter the testing room feeling more comfortable and ready to achieve the score they want.

Q&A with Samuel

Teaching is twofold. The first goal of teaching is immediate; I make sure that every student knows the material needed to raise their grades or test scores as fast as possible. The second goal is more long term. I strive to ensure that my students fully understand every concept instead of just memorizing them for one test. In this way, the material they learn will stick, and when it is needed in future courses or even later in the same course, they will be successful even without a tutor's help. Past these goals, I believe that each student often requires a different teaching philosophy. In that sense, my philosophy is one of flexibility: there are hundreds of reasons why a student might be struggling with something, and the right style of teaching and method of teaching can be different for everyone. My philosophy is that one needs to quickly get a sense of how each student learns best and to move forward in helping them in a way that works for them.
