Great teacher and amazing value
Sam assisted my son in an excruciatingly difficult, quantitative microeconomics course. Several other students were dropping the course or flunking. My son would end his sessions with Sam, energized about the progress made and eventually went on to achieve his best scores. Sam is a great teacher of difficult concepts, was patient, flexible and positive. It’s the best money I ever spent on college thus far!

Sam made Game Theory fun!
I had an enjoyable time working with Sam this semester as I took my first deep dive into Game Theory. He was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. It would be awesome to have him as a professor one day!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
I really appreciated Sam's support today. I felt embarrassed at the start of the session given the gaps in my background knowledge to tackle this problem set, but Sam made me feel at ease to ask any question, no matter how rudimentary it may have sounded. His "wait time" during the session pushed me to take the lead with sharing my thought process, and that challenged put contextualize these problems with the goals of the course at-large.

Superb Tutor!
He is very knowledgable tutor. Given my extremely busy schedule, he was able to get his point across efficiently, which mattered a lot. He cares a lot about thought process and makes you walk through any problems and critiques the thought process along the way. This method has paid a lot of dividends when I took exams. Overall an excellent tutor who I will also be using to help me with my GRE.

Patient and very knowledgeable tutor
Sam was able to help me super last-minute for my stats analysis exam and knew how to explain not only how to solve problems, but the theory behind them. This helped a lot as a my exam was half theoretical, half problem solving. I was so stressed about the exam and I felt a lot more confident after our lesson. Thanks Sam!
