About Sam

I'm an experienced teacher with a background in early childhood through upper elementary, and I've always focused on helping students feel confident and capable. I've taught 4th and 5th grade, worked in early childhood settings, and supported students one-on-one in reading, writing, and communication. My style is calm, patient, and relationship-based. I pay close attention to how each student thinks and learn, then build lessons around their strengths. I enjoy helping kids who need extra encouragement, clearer explanations, or a steady guide who helps things finally "click." I'd love to support your student and learn what goals you have for them.
