Samuel Kara makes his home in Modesto, in California’s Central Valley. Interested in physics and astronomy from a young age, he homeschooled until high school where he earned the International Baccalaureate diploma at Modesto High School, graduating first in his class. He retained his early interest in STEM subjects while attending CSU Stanislaus, studying and earning a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Physics.

Sam has worked with students as a tutor throughout his time in college, and enjoys helping them build their confidence and succeed in their goals. He has a knack for making complex concepts easy to understand by breaking them down into simpler chunks. Sam believes that any student can succeed in STEM subjects with the right guidance and a positive mindset.
