Hello! My name is Sam. I am a materials research engineer, but on the side I provide online tutoring and supplemental help to college students and advanced high school students in a variety of fields including engineering, physics, chemistry, math, etc. These fields are known to be very intimidating; my goal is to get you feeling confident in your ability to tackle difficult concepts. I have a passion for STEM education and can't wait to help you understand the fundamentals of what you're learning in class, while also helping you manage your assignments.
DETAILS:
First session is free; $50/1hr session after that. Sessions could begin anytime after 5:30 on most weekdays.
BIO:
I graduated from Virginia Tech (go Hokies!) in 2020 with a B.S. in Engineering Mechanics and minors in physics and mathematics. While in graduate school, I was a full-time high school teacher. I graduated with an M.S. in Engineering Mechanics in 2024 and then moved to northern Virginia, where I am currently a materials research engineer for the Navy.
Teaching experience: High school - algebra 1, algebra 2, physical science, chemistry, honors physics; university teaching assistant - engineering dynamics, computational methods
