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!!!

Geometry tutoring

Sam really knows Geometry. He mades learning geometry fun for my son. He is excellent at breaking things down so my son understands the material without just giving him the answer. My son now has a new confidence in his Geometry class, thanks to Sam!

Great tutor!

Sam was super patient with my son and very efficient in his approach. He was effective in his communication, supportive and encouraging. We'll definitely be reaching out to him again for algebra help.

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!
