Hello! My name is Sam and I'm super excited to work with you. My study plans are subject to adjustment based on how you learn best. Flexibility is key to the learning process. I work with people of all ages, and specialize in essay writing, Mathematics up to Pre-calculus, and Business studies. However I am happy to help with anything you may need.When I'm not in classes at Appalachian State University in NC, I like to rock climb, play my cello, and read thought provoking books.If you're interesting in me being your tutor, send me a message and we'll get to it!

I have a great love of puzzles. They can come in many forms. There are basic puzzles, such as crosswords or sudoku, and more complex ones. To me, all learning is like solving a puzzle. Unpacking each word in a Yeats poem is like gathering jigsaw pieces, and constructing a thesis for an essay is like putting them together. Algebra and Geometry are subjects that naturally lend themselves to puzzling. Each equation has a solution. I enjoyed learning these subjects, and I love sharing that with new people.When I am a student, the subject matter is the puzzle. When I am a teacher, my student becomes the riddle. There is a barrier between the student and the material, and it is my role to identify this and look for solutions. What works for one student may not work for another, and I feel that there is always more than one way to approach a solution. I believe that tutoring is the most beneficial form of teaching, because it is as much about the learning style of the client as it is about the subject matter. Personalized approaches and self-motivated learning are essential ingredients for academic success.

I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2013 with a degree in Music Education. I spent the entire next academic year tutoring math full-time at Lawrence High School in Lawrence, MA, as part of Match Education's "Match Corps." I am currently pursuing graduate studies at Tufts University. In addition to tutoring (privately as well as with Match Corps), I have experience leading classrooms of elementary to high school aged students, in schools ranging from New Hampshire to Ghana. I love tutoring students in math, test preparation, and music. I believe that education is the most essential element in any society, and feel privileged to be pursuing it as a career. Students enjoy my tutoring style and feel comfortable asking questions and pushing their own cognitive limits. Lessons are generally planned and scaffolded, adhering to an individualized curriculum often aligned with the student's school curriculum (as understood through communication with his/her teacher(s)). Open discussion and free exploration of the topic at hand are always encouraged.

I am currently enrolled in a Secondary School Certification program at Haverford College. As somebody with a teacher as a mother, education has always been present in my life. I grew up thinking about educational policies and philosophies and started teaching at a Sunday school when I was a senior in High School. Since then, I have done several field placements as part of my education courses and also taught in my own classrooms for two summer enrichment programs.One of the things that these experiences have taught me is that every student learns differently. Unfortunately, in a large classroom situation, it is not always possible to give each student the individual attention that they need to achieve. This is why I think tutoring is so important. I have spent hundreds of hours in and out of my education courses discovering best practices for helping support students in their learning. I am excited to apply all of this to helping students get that necessary individual attention through tutoring with Varsity.

I have a B.S. in Mathematics from UMass Amherst where I attended the commonwealth honors college. My Major was Mathematics with a concentration in Mathematical Computation, and I minored in Philosophy. The bulk of my university courses were focused on space and time complexity algorithms. I have a strong background in both Mathematical and computer science proof techniques and experience in programming. As a veteran of the AP program and the SATs, I have the insight and experience to help students understand what is important to succeed on their tests.My non-academic interests are all various forms of gaming. I have been a competitive Magic: the Gathering player for over 13 years. Otherwise I play many video games mostly older series: Touhou, Guitar Hero, and n64 speedruns. My current focus is on danmaku games, and I am currently working on programming my own game in that genre; I someday hope to be a full time game designer.

I am a graduate of Millikin University, in Decatur, IL. I received a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Mathematics Education. I also received a Master's degree from St. Xavier University in Teaching and Leadership. For the past eight years, I have been teaching at a public high school. I have taught Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and AP Statistics. I have helped students prepare for the AP Statistics Exam. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, coaching soccer, and golfing.

I am a Texas Certified Teacher where I teach physics to 11th and 12th graders at Cy-Ranch High School in Cypress, TX. I mainly tutor juniors and seniors in ACT and SAT, math/science subjects, and educator certification candidates. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring. In my mind, what makes a good tutor is someone who can listen to, interact well, and understand the needs of the student. This is so important because it establishes an environment where both the student and the tutor feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings about the material. In a tutoring session, a student should feel open to ask questions and express concerns.Outside of academics, I enjoy sports, specifically triathlon. I competed on UT's club triathlon team for four years, and I absolutely enjoyed it. I also play tennis when the weather cooperates. I believe the hard work, dedication, teamwork, and drive necessary to succeed in sport carries over to academics. In addition to triathlon, I enjoy pretty much any outdoor activity: hiking, rock climbing, camping, etc.

I am originally from Evanston, Illinois. I received my B.A. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. I continued to pursue my Science career in New York, where I worked in a laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center. While working, I applied to graduate school and entered in Fall of 2013. I am currently earning my PhD at New York University in Molecular Biophysics. I hope to one day apply my crystallography skills to advance the area of novel drug design. In my free time I enjoy traveling, running and playing lacrosse.

Worried about a test? Confused about material in class? I've been in your shoes as a student, and I've spent quite a while with different types of tutoring. I'd be glad to help however I can and help you feel better about math.

I have taught piano lessons, tutored, and taught middle school for a total of 7 years. I have a bachelor's degree in history education and a minor in math education from Brigham Young University, where I attended on a National Merit scholarship. While in college, I worked as a writing tutor in a writing center on campus for three years, helping students with history and social science essays as well as letters of intent for internships. I also spent a semester in London studying history and English. I taught 7th grade math (pre-algebra) for a year and was the peer tutoring mentor teacher during that time. For the last year and a half I have worked with the teenage girls at church. I teach biweekly Sunday School lessons and help plan weekly activities. Currently I stay at home with our two little boys while my husband works on a PhD at Stanford and I love it, but I miss teaching and working with students.I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and math. I am passionate about each of them for different reasons. History helps us identify bias, see cause and effect, think critically, and learn empathy. Writing helps us synthesize our thoughts into coherent arguments and can even help us understand things more clearly. Math teaches critical thinking, but also persistence and creativity. What is most important to me, however, is that students feel confident enough to keep trying until they succeed. Teaching 7th grade math opened my eyes to the lack of confidence students often suffer from, and I want all students to feel empowered to learn and succeed rather than just get by.In my spare time I enjoy board games, reading everything from parenting books to classic literature, yoga, lunch with friends, and that energetic feeling after completing a good run.
