"Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor"
- Jacob, Brooklyn, NY on 5/24/17I started using Samuel as a Common Core Algebra I tutor a little more than a month ago. During this time he has helped my son understand linear functions, whiskers and box plotting, histograms, as well as other math functions.
This has been accomplished by taking the time to explain concepts in a clear manner and having the patience to correct misunderstandings my son has. As a result my son has shown a significant improvement on his math exams.

"great tuter"
- Judith, New York, NY on 12/17/11We have been having Samuel tutor my 13 year old in Math and SAT prep for a couple of months now. He is a really good tutor and my son feels that he is ahead of his class and learning to work at the fast pace that is required for the advanced testing. Samuel is easy to reach by phone or e-mail and always reconfirms the day before the tutoring. I can say I recommend him as a tutor.
