Sam is a Cornell University graduate, who studied linguistics and computer science, and has a wide range of teaching experience in both the humanities and sciences. He uses his expertise to regularly tutor students with mathematics (all levels), computer science (foundational courses + electives such as RL, NLP, AI, ML), college admissions and SAT prep. He also assists students prep for USACO and NACLO, and consults entrepreneurs with AI related technologies.
Sam's students regularly receive 5s on their APs, above 1530 on their SATs and with his set of college admissions essay strategies, consequently get into their top undergraduate schools: MIT, Columbia, Stanford, Yale most recently, to name a few!
In his free time, he enjoys reading, traveling, painting and swimming.
" ... Even though we were only three weeks from the EA deadline, Sam was able to create a schedule that, once we worked through it, allowed me to finish with time to review my most important essays. We spent a lot of time forging essay ideas that were based on my interests, ambitions, identity, and strengths. ... In the end, Sam helped me get into my dream school: MIT!"
Gwen holds a BS in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT (with a minor in comparative media studies: game design), in addition to an MS in computer science from Tufts University, and is now a PhD candidate in robotics at Queensland University of Technology. Over the years, Gwen has coached students from high school through graduate school in computer science, robotics, physics, and electrical engineering—helping them develop and refine the logical reasoning and programming skills needed to solve complex problems. Gwen also regularly helps students with strategies needed to succeed on the SAT!
Gwen mentors both high school students (for those seeking to publish research papers for college admissions) and undergraduate students in science research. Gwen's testimonials speak for themselves, with students regularly receive 5s on their AP exams, top scores on their SATs, getting into top research journals, and finishing deep into the USACO competitions!
"... Gwen was a game-changer! They patiently broke down each challenging problem, offering intuitive explanations and guiding me through custom practice sets. and hard algorithms. With their support, I achieved Gold division in the USACO, something I never thought possible."
Mitch holds an MS in computational linguistics from Georgetown University and is currently a PhD candidate in computer science at Tufts University. He regularly provides bootcamps in Math and English to help students overcome barriers when it comes to standardized testing.
Mitch additionally brings his linguistics expertise to regularly prepare students for the NACLO competition. With his background in computer science and speciality in NLP, Mitch regularly tutors across the AP CS A and AP CS P curriculum, and also consults on NLP, AI, ML: providing bootcamps in such to students in middle school, high school, college and post-graduate, and those new to computing.
Mitch also coaches students through the college admissions process, and his students have been admitted to Cornell, Berkeley, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, GTech, UMich, amongst others.
"... Mitch made sure I was understanding and not memorizing anything. Its all skills and technique based with him, which, if going for NACLO, is very needed! I passed the first round, am looking forward with prepping for him now for the next level!"
