Sam Marchand Tutoring
About
Hello! I'm Sam, a political science and finance student at the University of Notre Dame. In over 7 years of tutoring, I've worked with hundreds of students in AP US, World, and European history. For as long as I can remember, I've been passionate about history, and I relish the opportunity to help a student love it as I do.
My students' AP scores and class grades are consistently the best on SuperProf, and giving students the gold standard of support is my main priority.
If you're looking for guaranteed grade improvement and AP success, you've found it.
In the 2025 testing cycle, 100% of my 28 students across all platforms scored 5/5 on their AP history exams. My college application clients have earned places at Ivy League universities. Your student can be one of them.
What makes my students the most successful on SuperProf in 2025?
A lesson with me isn't just more regular class time with normal career teachers, it's transformational and top-tier review to turn history from being a problem class that you worry about into something a student thrives in.
What students walk away with:
- Effective historical writing organization for the DBQ, LEQ, and SAQs on AP History exams from the perspective of someone who championed all of them, and successful writing skills for any general history course.
- Study and learning skills honed by an education at one of America's finest elite research universities.
- A successful AP student's valuable point of view on the AP process, an approach that has helped hundreds of students get 5's.
- Detailed feedback on writing and essays tailored to what AP graders want.
- Experience in working with students both who have recently immigrated to the US, and students with special learning needs.
- 24/7 call and text response availability at all times.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We usually begin by discussing what the student's objectives are, then planning how to accomplish them within whataver the student's timeframe is.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm an AP Scholar with Distinction and have taken several college-level history, economics, and law classes outside of normal high school classes.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Standard rates begin at $20/hour but can vary student to student. I take PayPal or Venmo, but I'm very willing to work with students and families to find what works.
How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching my friends freshmen year in Geography, and I realized I could help other out with similar material that I enjoyed.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students ranging from eighth grade to college seniors, from 14 to 52 years old.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should decide what amount of time works best for them and what specifically do they need help with. It helps to know what students need and how to provide it.
