Hello! My name is Sam. I am a Magna Cum Laude, double-degree graduate from Texas Christian University, where I earned degrees in Mathematics and Musical Theatre. I also attended Jesuit High School in Portland, OR, a rigorous college-preparatory school, which gives me a strong understanding of the academic pressures faced by middle and high school students.
I am an experienced math and SAT/ACT tutor with over eight years of private tutoring experience. My subject specialties include Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus AB/BC, Probability, Common Core math for elementary and middle school, and SAT/ACT preparation. My teaching approach emphasizes repetition, self-motivation, and identifying and strengthening areas where students need the most support. I have worked with over 40 students ranging in age from 10 to 24, and I specialize in tutoring middle and high school students. I am passionate about helping students develop healthy study habits and effective test-preparation strategies so they can take ownership of their education.
With a 3.75 GPA from a rigorous academic institution like TCU, along with a 32 ACT score and a 1470 SAT score, I have a strong understanding of what it takes to succeed both in the classroom and on standardized exams.
Ultimately, my goal is not just to help students succeed in a single class or exam, but to help them build the confidence and skills to succeed on their own. I strive to create an encouraging, supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and taking ownership of their progress. I am always happy to answer questions and discuss goals, so please feel free to reach out anytime.
