I am an experienced tutor with more than 10 years of experience in a range of different subjects. My specialty is language: I am primarily a Spanish, English, French, and Mandarin Chinese teacher. With my unique and new-age approach to language learning, you'll see results in your language mission before you know it! I'm a people person, an educator, a communicator, and a Christ follower.

I have taught languages in the US, Mexico and China. I have taught English as a foreign language, Spanish, and French at all levels from elementary school to the university level. My approach stresses quick acquisition of pronunciation and mastery of phonetics in order to get students speaking and understanding from day one. Reading and writing can be easily integrated into lesson plans. This gives students everything they need to get on the path to fluency as soon as possible! So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started with your language journey today!

English

English

As English department lead in Shanghai, I developed and rolled out English grammar and usage curricula for students of all ages. I do this now in my personal lessons and I take great pride in my deep understanding of the language, its grammar, and helping students obtain that mastery themselves.
ESL/ESOL

In 2014 I completed my TEFL certificate with International TEFL Academy. I have taught ESL/ESOL/TEFL/TESOL in 3 countries, including China and Mexico, and have hundreds of hours of teaching experience. I have also been writing ESL curriculum for 5 years.

10 years teaching and tutoring French at all levels
Geography

Geography

I've been a geo-nerd my whole life and a teacher of geography for over 10 years.
Spanish

Spanish

I taught Spanish at University of Wisconsin-Parkside (from 2012-2014), tutored Spanish at College of Lake County (from 2012-2013), and have been tutoring Spanish for over 5 years.
TOEFL

TOEFL

My approach to TOEFL is simple: identify your strengths, and focus on your weaknesses. If you speak like a champ but you lag a little in reading, reading will be our focus. No matter where your greatest needs lie, I believe having fun and not stressing too much are central to getting a passing grade. My lessons are always engaging, at your pace, and tailored precisely to your needs. Let's get started!

Knowledge and patient

Samuel is fantastic! He goes at a pace you set. He has materials ready when you arrive. He also has real-world experience and explains things in a way that make sense. I learned more in one session than several weeks of college classes. Highly recommended!

Was great at making me feel better about learning spanish. Definitely makes learning spanish more fun. Has a great background of the language and can help someone understand why we speak spanish.

Very helpful

Samuel reviewed my son's hw and immediately started patient helping. His on screen notations allowed my son to both hear and see what he needed to correct. He also very kindly explained the difference between formal and informal language use in conversational Spanish. Very helpful.

Awesome!

My son loves Sam. He's very good with younger kids and is more than ready to work at their pace. Sam is working with my son to get him prepared in advance for his Spanish studies moving into middle school. I'm glad we are working with him. He is enthusiastic to see my child succeed!
