Math and Science Tutor

Samantha R.

I am Samantha! I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree from SUNY Cortland. I majored in Biology and received minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. My favorite courses were zoology, vertebrate biology, ecology, evolutionary analysis, genetics, and calculus. These courses are memorable because of the interesting content and the professors. The professors of these courses were engaging, encouraged students, and were always there to help. They are who I emulate while tutoring. For me, tutoring is about helping students better understand material while simultaneously building confidence and igniting a desire to learn.

While in college, I was a Supplemental Instruction Leader for multiple biology courses. I primarily focused on general biology and zoology. As a Leader, I facilitated the learning of students with a focus on breaking down difficult material and developing stronger studying techniques. Supplement Instruction required me to work with small groups of students and occasionally work one on one.

Since 2021 I have been an independent tutor working through CNYTutoring. I have helped a variety of students of various ages working one on one online. I have tutored Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Calculus, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science at the high school level for many years. I have also tutored Chemistry and Calculus at the college level, SAT prep, and Jr high level math.

My primary goal is to help students therefore, I encourage and welcome any resources and materials students can provide. I am always fast to respond. Please feel free to contact me with additional questions or to schedule a lesson!
