About Sam

*LGBTQ+ affirming

*Specialize in help with motivation and organization

*Specialize in working with students with ADHD or on the autism spectrum.

*Helpful at connecting each student with resources that meet their needs

Helping students believe in themselves and their abilities-not everyone can or should have to learn the same way because we are not all the same person! I want to help each student learn however works best for them.

I got started unofficially tutoring my peers who were struggling in high school algebra.  I then went on in freshman year to take a class in teaching that offered me an opportunity to teach a class at the local elementary school.



I graduated from Oberlin College, where I studied Linguistic Anthropology and Cogntive Sciences. I then went on to graduate school at California State University Northirdge for Marriage and Family Therapy. Additionally, I have worked for 1 year assisting in special education classrooms, 1 year teaching 5th grade Spanish, 2 months teaching ESL here and abroad, and 5 years tutoring individuals ages 5-20 (from algebra to ACT/SAT prep to elementary school reading comprehension). I also have 5 years of training as an associate marriage and family therapist.  During that time, I have been running psychoeducational groups in treatment facilities for teens and adults. In light of pandemic cutbacks, I am currently seeking additional income by returning to tutoring.

I like to quickly chat with the student to get a sense of what they'd like to accomplish both big picture and in the time frame that day. Next, I try to figure out where they need the most support. As someone with a background in teaching, therapy, and meditation I often start by helping stressed students to ground themselves before launching into the work.



5-20 years old- reading comprehension, essay writing, ACT/SAT, linguistics, ESL. I specialize in working with students who have ADHD or are on the autism spectrum.



Have a clear idea of what you would like help with out of the following:

1. Understanding the information/clarity

2. Organization/planning

3. Focus

4. Motivation

5. Getting started

6. Or something else entirely

This is a starter list - select any/all options to give us an idea of where to start :)



I really enjoyed recently getting to work with a student who felt like he would never be able to get organized or motivate himself.  I helped work with him to identify a plan and to prioritize his needs as well as to begin to re-engage with his classwork. It was wonderful to see him regain some optimism and motivation.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What kind of style works best for you?

My personal style is directive, goofy, and compassionate. I firmly believe in all my students and am here to support you.
