About Sam

Educator, clinician, and dedicated tutor.

I'm an educator and medical professional with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and more than ten years of experience supporting students across elementary and secondary educational settings. My background combines expertise in math, primary and secondary sciences, and medical sciences including kinesiology, anatomy, physiology, and rehabilitation.

This has given me extensive experience working with diverse learners — including students with medical, behavioral, and developmental needs. I've developed individualized learning supports, adapted curriculum and assessments, and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to help students achieve academic success.

"I believe every student can learn and succeed when instruction is tailored to their individual strengths, needs, and experiences."
