I'm currently a sophomore at Drexel University in Philadelphia pursuing a BA in Law and a BS in Criminology and Justice Studies. I have been a tutor for over five years now, and I have experience instructing students ages 7-18 in a variety of subjects, including Math, ELA, Social Studies, and SAT/SSAT prep. In the past, I've assisted students in achieving their academic goals by breaking down their work into manageable chunks and diligently practicing their problems. I'm a big believer in being a clear communication with students and inviting them to invest in their work. I hope to continue that success here!

As you can probably tell, I am passionate about helping others learn. I believe that all students can lean, when provided with the proper tools. I have a diverse background in education, having worked as a teacher in all grades, K-12, special education, and adult education. Additionally, I've held roles as a lead teacher, literacy coach, instructional specialist, academic engagement administrator, assistant principal, principal, and director. I hold five teacher certifications and four administrator certifications. I am also a proficient instructional coach certified through the MDE. I graduated from MSU, U of D, WSU, SVSU and CMU. I have an insatiable thirst for learning and take great joy in instilling that same love for learning in others!

I am a Bellingham MA Public High School graduate, where I was a French tutor for levels 2 through 5 Honors and Standard, as well as AP French, and led peer tutoring initiatives as an NHS officer, supporting classmates in AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Calculus, and PLTW. I am studying Biology and Neuroscience on the pre-med track at Columbia University, where I continue to nurture my passion for helping students succeed. My involvement in three research teams, including one on molecular biology that received international publication, has sharpened my ability to explain complex scientific concepts clearly. While I tutor various subjects, I find the greatest joy in teaching French and the sciences, aspects of foreign language studies joined with the complexity of STEM, being part of the rewarding moments when students grasp challenging ideas. Education is a powerful tool for personal growth, striving to create an environment that fosters confidence and curiosity.

Hello! My name is Sam Bicking. I am an alumni and student at The University of Pennsylvania studying Pre-health sciences before entering medical school. I have been tutoring for several years with students with disabilities (and amazing students without disabilities).

I'm a dedicated business professional, experienced mentor, and someone who truly loves helping others learn and succeed. I'm currently pursuing my B.S.B.A. in Business Administration (Management) with a Minor in Leadership Studies at the University of Central Florida, where I'm scheduled to graduate this upcoming May and have accepted an offer to continue my career in the Finance industry. During my studies, I've built a strong foundation in subjects such as management, leadership, business strategy, communication, and analytical problem-solving. I've gained hands-on experience through jobs at Lockheed Martin and The Bank of New York, where I learned to break down complex ideas, stay organized, and adapt to different learning styles. I've also led and taught others through various leadership roles, coached students, and guided teams through exams and competitions. My tutoring style is patient, clear, and goal-oriented. I'm here to help you build a strong understanding, confidence, and lasting study skills.

I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

I come to tutoring and teaching with an eclectic background. I'm a dual citizen of France and the US, and grew up in Geneva Switzerland. I've worked with think tanks, governments, the World Economic Forum, and even on Wall Street. Trained in political science (BA, Harvard; MSc, London School of Economics), I have a passion for history and the French language. My goal is to meet you where you are on your learning curve, and with kindness and humour help you move closer to your goals.
