About Samuel
I recently graduated from Rice University cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering, and I’m currently applying for medical school. I began studying for the SAT in the sixth grade (thanks a lot, dad) and ultimately reached a score of 1560 when I officially took it in junior year of high school. Needless to say, I know the exam inside and out by now and am especially equipped to maximize students’ scores on the exam—something I’m proud to say I’ve done for the past five years.
Besides SAT, I also offer lessons on writing, especially for college application essays and creative nonfiction. Furthermore, my STEM education makes me very comfortable with teaching a wide array of science and math topics, especially Calculus and Chemistry.
Outside of teaching, I love writing short stories, singing a cappella, and long nature hikes!

My motto: practice makes perfect. Studying at Rice has taught me that learning is simply being exposed to material, while mastery is becoming intimate with said material through repetition, pattern recognition, and development of confidence. Mastery is what truly separates the decent from the outstanding—and I’ll do everything in my ability to ensure you become the latter.
Although it may not seem like it, the SAT is really just a collection of a handful of skills in the form of a 135-minute exam. Therefore, any particular skill can be mastered by any student through sufficient engagement, which I plan to offer in the form of guiding students through passages and truncated math sections, all while explaining tough questions step-by-step with elaborations on why incorrect options are wrong.
Writing is different, yet similar—the best way to improve is through practice. With college application essays in particular, I will also offer plenty of insight into what kinds of tones, content, and style allows your application to stand out and impress.

Samuel made a truly positive impact on our son's reading and writing skills. It is not easy to find a tutor who is highly skilled, knowledgeable, structured, and able to make lessons fun and engaging. We highly recommend him and deeply appreciate his help!
It is a distinct honor for me to write this letter of recommendation for my friend, Sam. Having grown up together and known each other for ten years, I possess a deep and comprehensive understanding of his character, capabilities, and general approach to life.
Throughout the years I have known him, Sam has consistently demonstrated himself to be an honest, reliable, and highly responsible individual. Whether in his academic pursuits, professional work, or daily life, he consistently exhibits exceptional self-discipline and a positive, forward looking attitude. When faced with difficulties, he invariably remains calm and focuses his efforts on finding solutions rather than giving up easily.
Furthermore, Sam treats others with sincerity and is always eager to lend a helping hand to those around him. He places great value on friendship and teamwork, consistently demonstrating respect and patience in his interactions with others qualities that have earned him the affection and trust of both friends and colleagues alike.
I am confident that Sam possesses not only outstanding personal abilities but also a strong moral compass and a mature sense of responsibility. I recommend him without reservation, and I firmly believe that he will achieve exceptional success in his future academic endeavors, professional career, or any other opportunities that may come his way.I highly recommend Samuel as a tutor and mentor for college and university preparation. I’ve had a wonderful experience knowing him, and what stands out the most is his patience, professionalism, and ability to make students feel confident and supported throughout the learning process.
Samuel is extremely knowledgeable and organized, but more importantly, he genuinely cares about students’ growth and success. He explains concepts clearly, gives thoughtful advice, and always encourages people to challenge themselves while building confidence step by step.
One thing I especially appreciate is how approachable and encouraging he is. He creates a positive and motivating atmosphere where people feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their ideas. His guidance is both inspiring and effective.
I would absolutely recommend Samuel to any student looking for support in college or university preparation. He is not only an excellent tutor, but also a trustworthy and supportive person who truly wants students to succeed.Sam helped my friend’s son to get a super high score on SAT recently. He’s very knowledgeable and responsible for the students. He’s passion for teaching is contagious and made learning it truly enjoyable for all the students he has taught before. Highly recommended!!!
