Reviews

Very knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly intelligent

Sam was working with me on a difficult Python course for data analytics. unfortunately, the university fell short of how to provide live lecture sessions and proper resources to support the learning process but lucky for me I came across Sam's profile on Wyzan. I know for a fact there was no way I was going to pass this course without his knowledge and expertise on the subject matter. I am incredibly blessed and grateful to have had a chance to work with Sam this semester and I highly recommend him for assistance with data science material.

Thank you so much for the kind comments Marihan. It was great working with you and I am glad I could help.

Knowledgeable Tutor

Knowledgeable Tutor

Sam is highly skilled and an excellent tutor. I used him for college level Project Management course and he will not disappoint you. I highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Sam and I developed a multi-linear regression model for data analysis in R. He walked me through everything from examining the quality of the data, transforming the data variables, creating plots, identifying outliers, running the regression model, and interpreting results. I feel confident in my understanding of the material and my ability to conduct regression analysis on my own. Highly recommended!

Samantha, 3 lessons with Sam

Quickly identifies learning needs. Patient. Knowledgeable and explains complex concepts in an accessible way

Working on multiple regression and the mechanics of SPSS - highly skilled also is able to translate to R if needed. The unusual benefit is Sam takes the time and trouble to review my course lectures & resources so he can explain the material factoring in my instructor's perspective. Who does that??? I am extremely fortunate to have the benefit of his expertise.

Helpful and caring tutor!

Sam has been so very helpful and patient through my RSelenium and Mac troubleshooting issues. We haven’t quite yet solved it but he has shown clear willingness to help me til it is solved. I can’t say enough kind things about him as a tutor.

Sam, Is very good in grasping in what we want and sticks to the prompts and takes time to explain, he teaches first then reviews our work and he makes sure reviews post session and sends feed back, he catches key information missing in the work. I recommend Sam to everyon.
