About Me

As a teacher, I believe in teaching children and young adults how to think for themselves through critical thinking and knowledge of the liberal arts. When it comes to education and pedagogy, I follow the philosophical traditions of Plato and Aristotle. While acquiring my Master's Degree in Philosophy from Texas State, I learned and thought a lot about pedagogy and the best way to communicate and interact with students. My unique education background allows me to take a different perspective in teaching kids, and this is often what is needed. Throughout my higher learning I have both struggled and been successful. I think the struggles I faced academically and overcoming them gives me unique insight in helping students, and that's why I'm passionate about teaching them.

Q&A with Samantha

I enjoy teaching through discussion and debate! I particularly value the Socratic Method of teaching, and I believe that students have the opportunity to teach me as well!
