“Sam has been such a delight for my family and our initial search to find a tutor to prep our two teenage boys for their AP exams. Getting our kids to read is like pulling teeth and the idea of getting them through AP prep filled us with dread. When we found Sam, we were expecting non-stop resistance. Instead, we've found that the kids look forward to their lessons, STAY LATE and come away talking about how "enjoyable" they were. We're completely gobsmacked about the whole experience. If you can't tell by now, we couldn't give Sam a higher review. He builds rapport quickly and seems to have a knack *ahem* for teenage humor. It serves him well as an instructor and has made our kids receptive to the subject and maybe even some newfound joy of reading (even stodgy classics). :-) Instead of just doing AP prep work, working with Sam has evolved into a course--or even a journey--for our boys to appreciate literature. They get to move at their own pace and Sam continues to create opportunities for them to deepen and explore their interest. We're no longer worried about APs and now seeing where this new interest will take them. Thank you Sam!"
