Davis college graduate, new mom, and experienced tutor in math and chemistry.

She helped me succeed in organic chemistry by coming up with some fun mnemonics to help me remember reagents and nomenclature order. I credit her tutoring for helping me get into UC Berkeley as a transfer student because without her help and her ability to simplify complex concepts, I definitely would have continued struggling through the class and would not have received the grade I did, which helped get me into UC Berkeley.

She really is awesome at explaining things and is very patient. Sometimes, I would get a concept wrong multiple times and she would help me find the logic in every step, which made test taking so much easier.

I am very insecure while learning, especially when dealing with math. Samantha was able to keep a calm environment for me and was very personally encouraging. She is able to let you work independently or one on one, depending on your needs.

Samantha is very patient, thorough and calm when helping students understand important concepts. Her friendly and supportive demeanor gives students security that they can tackle any subject. She's able to build their confidence by giving them challenging problems that they can apply to future problems. She wants each session to be fun, comfortable and ultimately beneficial to the student's career.
