"Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m a certified social studies teacher in both New York and Connecticut with five years of classroom experience teaching grades 7–12. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Studies Education and a master’s degree in Educational Technology. I’ve taught American History, European History, Modern World History, Global History 1 & 2, and Geography—and I’m proud to say that all of my students passed the New York State Global History Regents Exam during my two years teaching Global 10. Currently, I teach social studies to high school students in a special education setting, where I specialize in differentiating instruction to meet every learner’s unique needs.

I also teach social-emotional learning and executive functioning skills, which are essential for academic success and personal growth. Beyond the classroom, I’ve led tutoring and Regents review clubs, providing one-on-one and small-group support for students ages 12–18. Whether your goal is to strengthen content knowledge, improve study habits, or build confidence, I’m passionate about helping students reach their full potential through personalized, engaging instruction." less...
