Samuel Gurarie

Hello everyone, my name is Sam. I’m a freshman in computer science at Purdue University with a concentration in AI and machine intelligence. I am originally from Colorado, and outside academics I enjoy skiing, barbeque, and running with my local track and cross country club.

In my junior year of high school I co-founded a programming club where I lectured weekly lessons. That experience taught me how to explain unfamiliar concepts clearly and break down complicated problems into simple steps. I focus on identifying where a student gets stuck and building understanding from that point. Additionally, I emphasize problem-solving strategies students can apply independently. My lessons combine concept review, guided practice, and test-taking strategy.

In terms of test scores, when I was applying for college. I scored a 1510 on the SAT including a 770 in math and a 790 math score on a separate sitting. Moreover, I’ve also earned 5s in AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, and AP Computer Science A.

If you’re looking to improve your math skills before the SAT or if you need help with physics or computer science, I’d be excited to help. With guided lessons, diligence, and structured practice students can make significant score improvements. I especially enjoy working with students who feel stuck in math or want to push a good score even higher. If you’re preparing for the SAT or looking to strengthen your math skills, I’d love to work with you—feel free to book a session and let’s get started. See you then.
