Samuel

Hi my name is Samuel (or just Sam). I am in my third year/second professional year of a Bachelors of Engineering with Honours in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and my current GPA is 6.56. Christchurch born and raised, I went to Cashmere High School. I achieved great results with a Merit Endorsement for NCEA Level 1 and an Excellence Endorsement for both NCEA Level 2 and NCEA Level 3. I was also heavily involved in my school's Electronics Club during years 12 and 13 where my focus was on helping younger students.

This is my second year tutoring with AHeadStart. I am passionate about my study and love to share my passion with students. I have found helping students to reach their goals to be very rewarding. As a tutor I value the importance of gaining understanding of the concepts over rote learning and memorisation as that has been the key to success in my own study.

Outside study I have several hobbies. My one sport is rock climbing which I love. I collect and paint figures for miniature wargames where I visit the local club - of which I am on the committee - twice a week when possible. I also enjoy other tabletop games such as role playing games and board games and try to get together with my friends most weeks for them. Of course I also love video games.
