"I'm Sam! I'm an alumnus of Middlebury College where I graduated cum laude with departmental honors in English and a minor in Spanish. Prior to that, I graduated from Stuyvesant High School, which is New York City's preeminent high school for math and science.

I have extensive experience as a private tutor, specializing in standardized testing, including (but not limited to) the SAT, PSAT, SHSAT, ACT and ISEE. I've worked with students from across the country of different ages and academic backgrounds to help all of them achieve their academic goals. As someone who himself graduated from a highly competitive high school and went on to study at a prestigious liberal arts college, I know firsthand what it takes for today's students to realize their full academic potential.

I work with the top tutoring agencies in New York City. Here on Wyzant, you have the opportunity to hire me for a fraction of the rate that the agencies charge for my services :)

Prior to my career as a tutor, I worked as a full-time teaching assistant for Middlebury College's department of Film & Media Culture where I taught film production to matriculated students. I later worked for a tech startup in New York City for a close to a decade, helping to grow the company from 15 employees to more than 500. I also have experience working with young people as a summer camp counselor and snowboarding instructor.

Aside from tutoring, my interests include writing, photography, gaming and baseball. I'm also an avid traveler and have visited over 40 different countries to date!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. If you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to reach out to me. I'm always quick to respond to inquiries!" less...
