Casandra Saxon Physics Math Tutor | Hands-On, Heart-Forward Learning As an honors graduate in physics with a minor in mathematics, and a mother of four, I bring both academic depth and real-world empathy to every tutoring session. With over seven years of tutoring experience, including working at my university's tutoring center and the Upward Bound program, helping high school students, through teaching, access opportunities that transform their futures. My teaching approach is rooted in brain-based learning strategies, Bloom's Taxonomy, and probing questions that guide students toward deeper understanding. I tailor each session to the individual, using pre- and post-assessments to track growth and adjust instruction. I specialize in tactile, hands-on learning. Whether it's physics, math, or general study skills, I love helping students turn abstract concepts into concrete creations, something they can build, touch, and truly own. I maintain a notebook record for each student, where we save key materials, examples, and reflections from every lesson. It becomes a living record of their progress and a resource they can return to anytime. I also provide customized lesson plans, worksheets, and slides when needed, and I communicate ahead of time to ensure every session is purposeful and prepared. Communication is key to my practice. I reach out 24 hours in advance to prepare materials and ensure every session is purposeful. I'm flexible with scheduling and always open to adjusting based on your needs. Whether you prefer email, text, or platform messaging, I'm here to make the process smooth and supportive. Above all, I strive to be encouraging and easy to talk to. I want students to feel confident not just in the material, but in themselves. Let's work together to build the skills, mindset, and momentum needed to thrive.

["Outside of tutoring","I’m a lifelong learner who genuinely enjoys diving into textbooks just for fun—especially when it helps me sharpen my teaching skills. As a single mother of four","most of my time is joyfully spent parenting and exploring the world alongside my children. When I do get a moment to myself","you’ll likely find me outdoors in the woods","skateboarding","painting","building something from scratch","or curled up with a good novel.\r\nI’m also a huge sports enthusiast. In high school","I played basketball","baseball","and volleyball—and even served as the school mascot! Volleyball is my favorite","and I still love the teamwork","energy","and strategy it brings. Whether it’s on the court or in the classroom","I thrive in environments where effort","encouragement","and collaboration lead to growth."]
