I have a Master's degree in Computer Science and work as a data engineer. I previously served as a Teaching Assistant for an Algorithms course, helping students master complex problem-solving concepts. I specialize in SQL, Java, and core programming topics, with a focus on clear explanations, strong fundamentals, and practical examples. My goal is to help you build confidence, understand the "why" behind the code, and apply your skills independentlywhether you're learning from scratch, preparing for exams, or getting interview-ready.

Hello! My name is Sam Smith. I grew in Glendale, California, and attended Glendale public schools from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I have been particularly passionate about history and politics in my academic career. I had very strong reading and writing skills as a student, which is a talent I brought to my work as a tutor in high school. I have a Bachelor's degree in political science, which I received with honors in 2010. Although I focused primarily on political science, I also took advanced courses in mathematics including calculus, statistics, and econometrics. I obtained a single subject teaching credential from Cal State Northridge in 2017. I have over two years of in-classroom teaching experience. I am capable of teaching most common primary and secondary classes including but not limited to: English, History, Mathematics, Government, and Economics. I believe in personalized educational support tailored to a student's particular needs. I enjoy working collaboratively with students to meet their goals--taking advantage of their academic strengths and improving their areas of growth. My classroom teaching experience allows me to use proven teaching techniques beyond typical tutoring. Teacher preparation programs focus on using teaching techniques to meet students at their current level of understanding and steadily increasing their knowledge from there.

I graduated in June 2014 with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Microbiology, and I took my MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) in September 2014. After completing my MCAT I decided that I wanted to take off a couple of years to gain non-academic experience and make sure that medical school is what I want. When I am not tutoring students I participate in a couple of non-profit programs where I tutor homeless kids and under-served families for free. In addition I also work as a research associate in cancer immunology at City of Hope Medical Center. When I am not working I enjoy listening to music, playing musical instruments (I play several), and reading. I look forward to working with you to help you succeed in whatever goals you hope to achieve.

I've always loved learning and have a passion to help others understand and learn as well! I want help break down intimidating concepts into simpler terms and help people understand how applicable these concepts are in their own life. Learning shouldn't be a drag-- it's fun!

I am highly motivated, enthusiastic, and passionate about learning and teaching mathematics. I attend California State University, Northridge as a (Secondary) Education Mathematics major while competing as division one athlete in Track and Field. Being an athlete has instilled in me, the drive to succeed in every circumstance. I have worked with many students of all ages and was able to inspire them to strive to be successful in and out of the classroom. While working with students at Granada Hills Charter High School, I would hear my kids say the same thing when attempting to help them- which was either "I'm confused" or "I don't know". My goal as a math teacher is to get you to stop saying "I'm confused" and "I don't know", because I believe every one is capable of achieving if they put the work and time into their courses. My strong suits in Math are Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and Trigonometry.

The mind is like a muscle that must be trained in a progressive manner. In math, this would mean NOT moving on too quickly from one concept to the next, which is what separates good math teachers from the not so good ones. I make absolutely sure my students have internalized step A and can perform it by themselves before moving onto step B. Like the floors of a building, math concepts build on each other and must be fully understood so the structure remains stable.In short, knowing and teaching are two different things. I know my Algebra and Geometry through and through, but perhaps most importantly, I have a knack for teaching it as well, with efficiency. I connect well with people, and am committed to making sure my students strive for success.

Throughout my life I have realized that sharing knowledge with others is the most rewarding thing for me. I realized that I have an ability to explain academic concepts well to others in school in Russia. In public school, in trade school, and in Institute of Chemical Engineering in Russia and later in California State University, Northridge I was engaged in tutoring one way or the other. In California, I was working with people with disabilities, and one of my responsibilities was to help them take the tests and to complete the homework. In addition, I spent 10 years working as an AVID tutor at the Puyallup School District, in Washington state. Also, I have 4 children of my own to whom I help academically throughout the school years and college years. I love to tutor any subject. As a Varsity tutor I was mostly called on tutoring Spanish, Russian, Latin, and Math. I believe that every student can learn. The goal of the teacher/ tutor is to find the approach to each individual student because each student has his/ her own style of learning. We know that there are different types of talents that people have. Some are best to learn as visual learners, some are best at listening, others are better at trying things they learn by experiencing them.

I have a passion for teaching and learning. I think math is fun. Doing math is like solving a puzzle.

I am a graduate of the California State University system with a B.S. degree in Community Health Education and an M.S. degree in Healthcare Administration. My career in includes working as a trainer and in human resources. I have taught both adults and children. I recently retired and have been facilitating conversational ESL courses at the local library and tutoring elementary school-age children in reading. I am most passionate about reading and history. I have traveled to many countries and have a diverse circle of friends, including international students that I have hosted at my home. I am dedicated to life-long learning and have a passion for education as it is such a positive force for an enriched life. In my spare time, I volunteer at the art museum and love to cook.

I am a college graduate with my B.S. in Biochemistry from California State University Northridge. I have been a tutor for one-on-one situations before as well as in a classroom setting. I very much enjoyed working with the students and teacher during my time in the classroom. I have a strong passion for math and all sciences. I prefer to tutor math, and am comfortable from elementary math up to algebra II and geometry. Outside of the world of academia, I really enjoy being outdoors and being in nature. I have played sports my entire life so staying active is a big part of who I am. I love Star Wars, playing video games, and most things involving science fiction or fiction, including Harry Potter. That being said, working hard is what has gotten me to where I am today, and is always something I try to instill in the students that I work with. I believe in a balance of work and play, but when I'm with a student and we're working, we will work hard. I believe it is important to enjoy what you're doing and I always try to make things fun when tutoring, especially with math and science!
