Bio

My environmental and earth sciences journey began with a bachelor's in atmospheric science and later a master's in geography with a concentration in watershed science. Shortly after my master's I worked at an environmental nonprofit, producing data-driven maps using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support sustainability initiatives.

My environmental and earth sciences journey began with a bachelor's in atmospheric science and later a master's in geography with a concentration in watershed science. Shortly after my master's I worked at an environmental nonprofit, producing data-driven maps using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support sustainability initiatives.

In the past, I have also worked as a private tutor, AVID tutor, substitute teacher, and teaching assistant where I taught elementary, middle, high school, and college students as well as working adults. I have experience teaching and tutoring in all modalities--whether it be online, hybrid, and in-person.

Currently, I am also an editor for a science magazine where I work with authors directly on their articles to ensure flow, readability, and adherence to the goals of the issue and Magazine. I have also proofread and provided writing feedback to high school students on their personal statements for college admissions.

The Earth and its environments are systems, and to study and understand them requires systemic thinking. My passion is to use my versatile, multifaceted background to help students understand the big picture and the complex relationships in our world, and write more effectively and coherently.

Working on a project

Justin was very knowledgeable, unfortunately the assingment was not fully completed. The video was not finished and my son lost points on his project. I was under the impression it was completed when he left. I would use Justin again, but I would have him write down what was completed during the session. My son really loved working with him too.

Tutor responded:

Hi Samantha, Thank you for the feedback. While I enjoyed working with you and your son, I believe I was unfairly blamed for the loss of points. It was my first time tutoring Charlie, so I was unfamiliar with the class and the project. The project guidelines were unclear, especially given that they were no expectations or guidelines on the video. I asked Charlie to message his friend and his teacher for clarification, and his friend responded that only the brochure OR the video had to be completed. We were already working on the brochure, so once we finished it we thought the assignment was complete. I hope you understand.
