Great Tutor for Chemistry and Math

Samuel has been tutoring my 10th grader in Chemistry and Math (Geometry) online and she has done a lot better in her courses. He is patient and flexible with his time, which helps a great deal since we are on different time zones. He provides her with the knowledge she needs to get a review on topics she has trouble with. I recommend Samuel as a tutor, he is respectful, dependable, knowledgeable and patient.

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Maria. It has been a pleasure working with Zoe. She is dedicated and asks great questions, and I’m very proud of the progress she’s making in both Chemistry and Geometry. I truly appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing to support her growth.

Reliable and helpful

Samuel has been working with my high school son Nick for about 6 weeks and not only did he get him a passing grade when I thought for sure Nick would fail last semester he continues to work with him. Nick clicked with Samuel from the get go and enjoys being tutored. Samuel brought a quality out in Nick that I did not know he had. Nick never seemed to care about grades or school and now he does so thank you Samuel for all your help.

S, 15 lessons with Samuel

Knowledgeable and patient. Goes the extra mile.

Samuel is very patient. My daughter has some gaps in her high school math due to some sequencing of classes. This means she is doing advanced math but sometimes is missing some foundational knowledge. Samuel is willing to go back a few steps to help her understand. He also went the extra mile and worked on some math problems outside of the lesson and shared them with her sot hat she would be prepared for her test.

Amoreena, 8 lessons with Samuel

Knowledgeable and very patient

Samuel is detail oriented and more patient explaining the new concepts. He sends detailed meeting notes of what is covered in each session. Samuel took the time to cover all the prior lessons and identify the mistakes that my son was making in math problems. My son has already improved his Algebra skills after working with him for few weeks and feels more confident with school tests. Thank you, Samuel!

Brunda, 10 lessons with Samuel

Patient and knowledgeable

Thank you, Samuel, for your guidance. My daughter’s understanding and confidence in chemistry have improved remarkably, and her grades have risen in a short time.
