Hello! I'm Sam, a political science and finance student at the University of Notre Dame. In over 7 years of tutoring, I've worked with hundreds of students in AP US, World, and European history, both US and Comparative Government and Politics, and AP Human Geography. For as long as I can remember, I've been passionate about history and the humanities, and I relish the opportunity to help a student love it as I do. My students' AP scores and class grades are consistently among the best history tutors in the United States, and giving students the gold standard of support is my main priority.

If you're looking for guaranteed grade improvement and AP success, you've found it. In the 2025 testing cycle, 100% of my 28 students across all platforms scored 5/5 on their AP history exams. My college application clients have earned places at Ivy League universities. Your student can be one of them.
As the president of Notre Dame's renowned debate program, I bring a unique perspective to learning. Competitive academic fellowships at ND have given me a unique perspective in guiding students to academic success. My personalized approach focuses on thorough analysis and detailed argumentation, ensuring you excel both in the classroom and on the AP exam.

My qualifications include:
- University of Notre Dame academic fellowships
- 2022, 2023, and 2024 Tutor of the Year in History
- President of Speech and Debate for the University of Notre Dame
- Internships with the U.S. Congress, private equity, and federal court system
- AP Scholar with Distinction
- 2021 UIL "Best of Texas" State Champion in Social Studies
- Eagle Scout w/ palms
