About Samuel


Bio

As a Princeton junior majoring in Applied Mathematics with minors in Statistics and Machine Learning and Finance and a 4.0 GPA, I bring not only the academic tools but also extensive teaching experience to the table. Over the past few years, I've accumulated more than 500 hours of tutoring, helping high school and college students excel in a wide range of mathematics subjects, including arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and probability theory.

As a Princeton junior majoring in Applied Mathematics with minors in Statistics and Machine Learning and Finance and a 4.0 GPA, I bring not only the academic tools but also extensive teaching experience to the table. Over the past few years, I've accumulated more than 500 hours of tutoring, helping high school and college students excel in a wide range of mathematics subjects, including arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and probability theory. My approach goes beyond just teaching the material—I focus on fostering a deep understanding and passion for the subject, which has led many of my students to achieve straight-A results and a lasting enthusiasm for learning.

In addition to math tutoring, I specialize in SAT prep, where I've guided over 20 high school students through the intricacies of both the math and reading sections of the test, as well as the crucial college essay writing process. My students have seen impressive outcomes, with some improving their SAT scores by over 200 points and others gaining admission to Ivy League schools such as Princeton, but also other schools such as MIT and Caltech. My firsthand experience with the college admissions process gives me unique insights into what top universities seek in applicants today.

I primarily tutor through Zoom, which allows for flexible and convenient sessions, but I'm open to in-person tutoring when circumstances allow. My expertise isn’t limited to high school material; I'm also well-equipped to teach advanced mathematics to college students and highly advanced high schoolers, particularly those interested in quantitative finance, an area in which I not only conduct university research at Princeton but also have navigated myself and will be employed in. My background, extensive teaching experience, and personal success in the admissions process makes me a valuable resource for any students aiming to excel in their studies, college applications, and beyond.
