Samantha
BA Northwestern University • Current Undergrad, Political Science & Legal Studies Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many elementary students struggle with the shift from memorizing procedures to understanding why math works the way it does. Word problems are particularly challenging because they require students to translate language into mathematical thinking. Additionally, building a strong foundation in fractions and multi-digit operations sets the stage for success in middle school algebra, and gaps here often create frustration later. Personalized tutoring helps students move beyond "just getting the answer" to truly grasping the concepts underneath.

Math anxiety often stems from feeling rushed or not understanding a concept fully before moving on to the next topic. One-on-one instruction allows tutors to slow down, celebrate small wins, and help students see patterns and connections they might miss in a classroom setting with a 20.8:1 student-teacher ratio. When students experience success at their own pace, their confidence grows naturally, and they become more willing to tackle challenging problems.

Yes. Tulsa's 14 school districts use various approaches and textbooks, from traditional methods to newer standards-based programs. Tutors connect with students understand these different frameworks and can explain concepts in ways that align with what's being taught in the classroom. This continuity between tutoring and school instruction helps students make faster progress and feel more confident during lessons.

Showing work reveals a student's thinking process and helps identify exactly where misunderstandings happen—whether it's a computational error or a conceptual gap. Tutors guide students to organize their thinking on paper, explain their reasoning, and develop problem-solving strategies they can apply to new situations. This skill becomes essential as math becomes more complex in middle and high school.

The first session focuses on understanding where the student is right now—what they're confident with, where they're struggling, and how they learn best. Tutors assess strengths and gaps, often discovering that a student's current challenge might connect to something from earlier in the year. From there, they create a personalized plan that targets the specific areas where the student needs support while building on what they already know.

Many students show increased confidence and understanding within 3-4 weeks of consistent tutoring. However, the timeline depends on the specific challenge—foundational gaps might take longer to address than help with a current unit. Regular sessions combined with practice between tutoring appointments accelerate progress, and students often report feeling less anxious about math much sooner than they expect.

Tutors who work with elementary students understand child development, different learning styles, and how to make abstract concepts concrete. Many have backgrounds in education, mathematics, or related fields, and they're skilled at breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who not only know elementary math but also know how to teach it in ways that build understanding and confidence.

Word problems require students to read carefully, identify what's being asked, and translate language into a math equation—skills that don't always come naturally. Tutors teach strategies like underlining important information, drawing pictures or diagrams, and breaking multi-step problems into smaller parts. With practice and guidance, students move from feeling overwhelmed by word problems to seeing them as puzzles they can solve.
