SAT Coach Extraordinaire

My son worked with Sam for several weeks to see if he could improve his score in SAT reading and SAT math. He did fairly well on his initial SAT, but we felt that working with a tutor might help him raise his score. Before my son began his work with Sam, my wife and son were not overly enthusiastic about spending the money and time for the tutoring sessions. However, once the tutoring sessions began, this lack of enthusiasm melted away quickly. Sam not only had a very strong grasp of the subject material, but also a solid familiarity of the tricks and strategies that will facilitate a strong performance in taking the test. Sam is a great teacher, knows the material, and knows how to make the most out of the time spent in the tutoring sessions. My son took his second SAT test yesterday and said that he felt like he really nailed this one; he felt very confident. Although we will not know the outcome of this second test for a few weeks, we feel confident that my son's score will improve significantly. Thank you Sam! Update: Okay... My son's SAT scores came in. Working with Sam, he raised his SAT reading score 140 points, and his SAT math score 110 points. Bravo!!!

Awesome

Don’t wait if your student needs help! Help is here! Sam made a difference in very first session! It’s easy to set up sessions and his hours are very flexible. Math can be a challenge for many students and the parents too!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Knowledgeable and patient are just two of the many traits that make Sam a great tutor. He has taken the time to understand how our son learns, he asks him great questions to keep him engaged, and has inspired his confidence in Algebra from their very first meeting. I really wish we had found him sooner!

Very patient, understanding and knowledgeable

Sam is getting me prepared for the College Algebra CLEP exam. In 60 minutes we went over 1/3 of the practice test and I already feel more confident in my ability to pass.

Efficient and Effective

In the one hour session, Sam covered every topic that was needed to learn and review. We are very pleased with his efficiency. He did a good job of making sure our student understand the work and is ready to keep moving forward.

Great tutor

My 17 year old son really enjoyed working with Sam on the math and science portions of the ACT. He'd previously tried another tutor--a far less successful match. He felt Sam really listened to him, 'got' what he needed, and helped him prepare well. Sam seemed to be both effective and supportive. I recommend him.

Great tutor

Sam has been teaching me strategies to improve my ACT score and giving me the confidence that I need. I know other students that have worked with him and really improved their scores. With his help I feel confident that my score will improve.
