About Samuel

I appreciate you taking the time to read my profile. In this brief excerpt, I will convey some important things about me.

First of all, as a tutor, I take my work very seriously and believe that every student can achieve great things if they work hard enough. I understand that you have made a significant investment by enrolling in a course at school, therefore your education is of utmost importance to you. I am not only here to use my skills for your betterment, but I also want you to embrace your lifelong learning journey.

As a graduate with a passion for research (which led me to teach), I can strongly guarantee that your passion for better understanding will not be in vain and the experience with me will be all worthwhile. As a student myself, I’m aware that each individual is different, which is why I make sure to understand their concerns thoroughly before devising a strategy that would work for them.

I will be guiding you, and lesson by lesson you will understanding of the subject at hand will grow. All doubts exist to be cleared, all questions are worthy of an answer, and there is no such thing as a weak student. I will ensure that everything you are looking for with my tutoring is achieved.

In conclusion, I am looking forward to working with you!

About the lesson

My teaching methodology and techniques?
• Student-based learning to be tailored to each student’s needs.
• Pomodoro Technique to avoid overwhelming students.

A typical lesson plan
• Each session is divided into 20 min segments
• A 20-minute segment, will consist of presentations and working through student issues as needed.
• Finally, after the 20mins are done there will be a 3-minute
break before the next segment of the lesson. This process will
continue until the entire session is done.

What sets me apart as a tutor?
As an undergraduate student (with Honors) at the University of
Alberta in Alberta, I have a very good grasp of Computer
Science, Math, and Statistics at all levels from middle school to
high school to first-year university. I also have some workplace
experience through my internships that I can use to relate my lessons to real-world applications.

Who the lessons are for (degree, level, class, specificities, etc.)?
• Middle school Alberta students (Grades 7 - 9)
• High school Alberta students (Grades 10 - 12)
• First-year university student

Perfect! Samuel was an incredible support for our son who was struggling with Math 20-1. He was able to explain concepts in a way that made them approachable and manageable for a kid who believed that he just would never understand it.

Excellent! Samuel was a good tutor for my son. After our first lesson with him, he took our feedback to be more interactive and included more Math problem solving activities to reinforce understanding of the concepts. His teaching style is more clear and straightforward.

I believe that he is a best fit for this position. From the time that I knew him as a friend and mentor, I can confidently say that he has went above and beyond to provide and assist students in their subject of choice. As a person who was a computer science student with him at the University of Alberta, he continued to excel in all the project and subject that we worked on especially with his OOP projects using Python. For any project that he has worked on he has not only taken initiative to complete his projects, he has also made sure that all his project member and friends excel along with him including myself. One of the experiences that I have had with him doing this is when I was creating a website for a client interfacing with MySQL for the db and he assisted me in explaining the overview of the db structure and explained it in detail; going over each module and how it interacts with the user. His style of teaching is both teacher and student focused both taking elements of teaching that would put the teacher at the forefront of each lesson and whenever it comes to collaboration he makes the students take the front stage and observes how they can apply their knowledge. In conclusion, I believe that Samuel has the characteristics, aptitudes, and experience to fulfill the role of being an effective tutor.

Learn more about Samuel

When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?
I developed an interest in math, statistics, and computer science because I have always been analytical and fascinated with technology. When I was 14/15 years old, I realized that I was into technology. I joined my high school coding club, and this led me to study computer science in my undergraduate degree. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I continued to fall in love with logical reasoning, algorithms, statistics, linear algebra, discrete math, and calculus. Simultaneously, I also developed a love for teaching. Through tutoring with my local library's tutoring program for struggling students at the university, I developed a love for teaching and helping people achieve understanding in math, stats and computer science. Now, combining my passion for teaching and math/technology has led me here, where, as a private tutor for hire, I can help people develop their understanding in the subjects I am also passionate about.
What makes you passionate about your subject?
I am passionate about math because I love logic, reasoning and problem solving. Furthermore, I love computer science because it is the application of the components of math that I love -- logic, reasoning and problem solving -- to everyday problems dealing with computers and technology as a whole.
What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?
I love tutoring because I love to teach. I love being able to help people achieve understanding of concepts that they were previously not exposed to, or felt would be impossible to attain. It's magical getting to share knowledge with others, and the sense of community and bonding that comes out of it.
Do you have any role models, a teacher who inspired you? Please explain.
I had a high school teacher called Mr. Medjani who helped foster my love for computer science. I remember taking my first coding class and being a part of a coding competition alongside my peers. Ultimately, Mr. Medjani helped foster my love for computer science, which I still carry with me today.
What are your keys to success?
Commitment and Hardwork: "Don't give something 5 minutes of your time if you are not willing to give 5 years." I believe in putting in work to see results.
S.M.A.R.T. goals: have a vision for yourself and use the SMART acronym to see if your vision and goals are achievable. Ask yourself, are your goals specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound?
Networking: "No man is an Island unto himself". We must go out of our way to connect with others, exchange ideas, and more. Most jobs you will get in your lifetime are through connections you have.
Research: go out of your way to perform due diligence whenever possible. Whether in the workplace or academia, being able to perform due diligence and research will always be considered an asset.
