About Samuel
I am passionate about science and the natural world and sharing that passion with my students.
I majored in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at UC Santa Cruz and have over four years experience working at biotech companies in the bay area.
I have helped dozens of students gain a deeper understanding of biology, chemistry, and programming. I believe that mastery comes from understanding the fundamentals which enables a student to grasp new concepts far more easily.
(concealed information)
I began teaching as an undergrad at UC Santa Cruz to help my friends and earn money part time. I enjoy teaching and sharing my interest in the sciences with new people.
On weekends I occasionally teach non-science related classes such as freediving and foraging events.
I have a BS in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology from UC Santa Cruz. I have worked in several university laboratories and biotech companies as a senior research associate developing new pharmaceuticals, and genetic tests.
I have tutored classmates, and been in charge of training new research associates and interns a number of scientific concepts and skills.

We will meet and discuss the subjects that the student needs help with, and discuss what the students goals are (achieving a certain grade in the class, understanding a certain concept, etc.) Then we will decide how often to meet (usually at least 1/week for 1hr) and go from there.
The majority of my students are in high school or college, however, I am able to teach students of any age provided that the subject matter is within my expertise.
Ask them a question such as, "why are plants green?" then when they answer (for example, "because chlorophyll is green"), ask them why that is, and so on. I believe having deep knowledge on a subject is incredibly beneficial and you can often determine a teacher's depth of knowledge by how many sequential "why?" questions they can explain clearly.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The most important thing for a student to think about is to assess what they do and don't understand. Often times when a student is struggling it is because they never fully understood a basic concept which was foundational to future lessons. Determining where that misunderstanding lies is helpful to addressing a students problems with a subject.

Sam is the best science tutor! I wouldn't have passed chemistry without him.
Sam tutored me in AP bio and really helped me in the class. He was very patient and explained the chapters that I had trouble with in a way that was easy for me to understand. Within a couple weeks I went from getting Cs and Ds on my weekly quizzes to As and Bs!
