DISCOUNT IF BOOKING MULTIPLE SESSIONS IN ADVANCE.Hello, I'm Sam, a Cornell University graduate and a Tufts University Comp Sci PhD student.
I've been tutoring for the past 7 years. I can provide short term critical need prior to tests and quizzes + full length courses. In addition to providing exercises to supplement the material, I make sure to immediately identify and fill in any gaps within students' pre-req knowledge.

Sam helped me understand important concepts in AP Computer Science principles. He explained everything thoroughly and at a level I could understand. I definitely recommend him.

Talked to Sam about getting an application together for grad school. He was very knowledgeable on what I needed and how I needed to do it. Looking forward to meet back and review everything once completed.

Sam is to the point about the pros and cons of your writing, offering suggestions and thematic direction that you should follow in order to convey a particular message. Would highly recommend for technical PhD personal statement advising

Sam did an amazing job at helping my son do some college preparation work. Sam listened carefully, asked great questions, and gave very actionable feedback and guidance.

Sam was a terrific tutor for AP Computer Science Principles. He provided very useful topic review and helped identify areas that required more review and practice. He taught her very effective preparation and programming techniques so she could understand how to successfully code. He was high energy and was able to provide creative practice techniques to help her prepare for the AP test.

Sam was extremely supportive and helpful prepping me for my computational linguistics college final exam. He went over each topic carefully, and gave very clear demonstrations of each learning algorithm (Naive Bayes, neural networks, HMM Viterbi, CKY parsing). We worked on multiple examples for each algorithm (both with toy data and language data, and worked on a sample of other exam problems that Sam provided. Computational linguistics is hard, but I feel very confident going into my exam later this week thanks to these sessions.

He is the only NLP teacher who could provide practice questions and while explaining the concept easily. He had me prepared for the exam very well. He can prepare any student well when it comes to exam.

For 2 months Sam has been tutoring me for the math portion of the Sat. My score has increased tremendously. My score has improved to 770 out of 800! He is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure to fill any gaps in prerequisite knowledge before moving on to something new! Sam is an excellent and engaging math tutor and will be helping me learn the calculus needed for physics c over the summer.
