We worked with Samantha to help my son enhance his SAT essay writing skills. Samantha is super knowledgeable/professional and my son has learned so much from her lessons ! She is such a nice person and willing to go extra mile for helping her student.

Looking for a flexible and professional tutor can be a daunting task. Samantha was able to provide me with the "at home" experience that I requested and was able to align our schedules together to make sessions possible. The material that we went over together was compiled of my pinpointed weaknesses within the ACT material. After about 4 sessions my confidence in these sections vastly increased, leaving me feeling like the test is not as difficult as it seems. I would work with her again and I do recommend Samantha to anyone who needs help with their studies.

Very friendly and helpful. Makes herself available even outside designated study hours, in case you have a question. I definitely felt more confident taking the SAT, after a few sessions.
