Sam

Experienced Math and Physics Tutor - Northwestern and Stanford Grad

I love tutoring math to students at all levels from elementary math through college level calculus as well as physics and general chemistry. My goal is to make learning an enjoyable experience for my students, working to help them reach their full potential. I have the ability to make what seems difficult and complex easily understood. My experience includes tutoring at the Omega School in Madison plus over 700 hours tutoring with WyzAnt. I received my BS from Northwestern University with...

Sam has obviously taught a lot of children and is very patient. My son gets easily frustrated by math, but he and Sam practice for a long time and there is never any anxiety on my son's part. I believe Sam is really boosting his confidence. For the first time ever we got a note from the teacher noticing his marked improvement in attention and attitude toward math. Thank you, Sam!


Jack D. from Stoughton, WI

Sam has done a great job thus far. My daughter has made a good connection with him and enjoys his tutoring in a way that she understands. From his tutoring so far, it has been giving her more confidence in the subject she has been getting the help in. Very pleased with this and the continued help. Thank you. This is greatly appreciated!


Daleena R. from Janesville, WI

Tonight was the 1st night my son and Sam worked together. They got right to work and accomplished a lot! My son left feeling more confident in the information and even worked a little ahead of his current work. My son and I agreed that by learning ahead, it removes that lost feeling he's been struggling with at times in class. Sam is very intelligent, and we've already scheduled our next session. I would highly recommend Sam as a tutor. Thank you, Sam!


Kate W. from Madison, WI

Sam has been working very effectively with my older son for a few months, and this week had a great session with my younger son. He is able to engage both my sons, who are very different from one another, with his friendly and low-key, but businesslike, tone. My younger son didn't want to start studying math in the summer, but quickly found it fun and rewarding. Sam has a lot of expertise and clearly loves the subjects of mathematics and chemistry.


Fred (Son Is Jeff) K. from Fort Atkinson, WI

Sam has helped my son over the hurdles of pre-calc with tremendous patience and knowledge. He also helped raise his math ACT score by 4 points. I highly recommend him.


Andrea H. from Madison, WI

My son is excited about chemistry and math again! Sam has done a nice job building trust with him and teaching him new ways to think about tough subjects. He explains concepts well and allows him the opportunity to apply his new knowledge through actual problems.


Barh B. from Rolla, MO

Mr. Sam helped me understand mechanics of material like it was algebra. He knows his stuff and is very confident with providing a solution to any questions thrown at him. He was my guru in mechanics of material. Highly recommend him to any one struggling with that class!


Alicia S. from Lake Bluff, IL

Sam is very responsive and friendly to our tutoring requests. He is extremely competent in his knowledge of the subject matter.


Tiffany S. from Lumberton, NC

We discussed a review of my classwork and working to do math in other bases, and he helped me to better understand how to work in other bases.


Rosa B. from Chantilly, VA

Reliable, started on scheduled time. He reviews my assignment via Skype with me and if I don't get it the first time he will explain again in more simple terms. Always checks in to make sure I am following.


Lisa C. from Madison, WI

So great to have Sam review tests with my son. Pinpoints his issues. This was especially great because my son felt like he understood the material but then got a D on a quiz. Sam showed him how it was about answering the questions just as asked.


Jessica J. from Edgerton, WI

Sam did a great job tutoring my son with Algebra 2. He is knowledgeable and very patient. I would high recommend him.


Julie K. from Verona, WI

Sam is doing a great job working with my son on Algebra. My son has struggled relating to his math teacher's teaching style. Sam has really helped my son feel more comfortable and confident.


Genevieve O. from Camp Hill, PA

Sam is a brilliant man with great knowledge of financial management and financial theory. Plus, he went to HARVARD!!! Sam is a kind man and explains complex concepts in a straight forward way. Thank you Sam!
