Hello! My name is Samantha Saumell and I am from New York. I graduated Pace University last year with both my BA in Childhood Education and a Master of Science Degree in Literacy. I was given the hono... r of speaking at graduation, which was such an amazing experience. I absolutely love being a teacher and helping all of my students reach their own academic milestones. Besides teaching I have been tutoring for the past 6 years. I started out tutoring students who were looking to get their GED's. I then began tutoring at the writing center at Pace University. From there I started tutoring elementary school students in all subjects. I love tutoring because I am able to help tutees see their true potential. I believe that everyone learns differently, which is something I try to embrace in every session. When I am not teaching or tutoring I love spending time with my family!read more
