"Hi, I'm Sam! I've been a tutor and peer mentor for five years. This fall, I completed a certification program for teaching English as a Second Language. I teach a variety creative workshops and lead local art groups. I am an experienced professional caregiver, and work with students to teach the fundamentals of life wellness and holistic health through self expression.

As a tutor and teacher, my passion is for empowering students' confidence, creativity, and learning. Whether you are an adult English learner, someone looking begin exploring therapeutic art, or a parent in need of comprehensive art and science education for their child, I could not be more excited to begin!

I specialize in the following subjects:

ESL, grammar, proofreading, and writing help for a range of English language learners, students, and professionals.

Art enrichment for beginners, primary and secondary school students, and learners of all ages. My students draw, paint, collage, and learn to come to a blank page prepared for discovery and impassioned to build lifelong art habits.

Art fundamentals and therapeutic art for those looking for a medium to explore their imagination, engage with their subconscious mind, and use art as a tool for cathartic release.

Natural Science enrichment for children curious about farming, plant life, and the great outdoors. I teach plant identification, nature appreciation, sustainable growing practices, and the knowledge for building deeper understanding of where our food comes from.

I have flexible availability and love adapting to a range of learning styles. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. During this time when students are out of school, and many of us are even more cooped up inside, I am here to help you stay engaged with creative expression and holistic education." less...
