Samantha W.
Private tutor in Silver Spring, MD
Education
Hi there! I have experience tutoring in a variety of different subjects (e.g., organic chemistry, English/writing, psychology, etc.) over the last 10 years and feel tremendous pride in seeing my students excel and grow. I have a PhD in clinical psychology and have experience working with children, adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and with a range of different learning abilities/approaches. My clinical training has helped me to engage with people effectively, meet students at their level of knowledge and adopt techniques appropriate for different styles of learning and stages of development. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Barnard College, Columbia University in NY and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa (top 2% of my graduating class). My graduate school GPA is 3.99 and my undergraduate GPA is 3.97.
Experience
While my expertise is in psychology, I studied many different subjects at my liberal arts college, including the premedical sciences, history, poetry, English literature and writing, calculus, statistics, art/drawing, etc. As with my clinical work (primarily working with trauma and anxiety/mood disorders), I enjoy tutoring because I enjoy helping people to reach their goals and make progress.
