Teacher expertise and credentials
β¨ In my classes, each learner receives a fully personalized experience tailored to their unique needs and goals. I design all educational games and activities with a strong academic foundation, blending fun with skill-building to engage students in a meaningful way. Every session is crafted to not only support academic growth but to boost confidence and create a lasting love for learning.β¨
Hey there! Welcome to my classroom! Iβm Miss Sammi, and Iβm absolutely thrilled to be a part of your childβs educational journey. I attended the University of Toledo, where I studied Early Childhood Education and during my time there, I gained such valuable experiences that it made me realize how much I truly love teaching.
Being a creative mom, I love designing fun games and activities to keep my little one engaged. Playtime is not only enjoyable, but also a fantastic opportunity for children to learn and develop.
I am often referred to as βSnow Whiteβ by my loved ones because of my deep affection for animals. I have the pleasure of caring for four fur babies of my own, and I make sure to take care of all the outdoor critters like deer, birds, opossums and raccoons.
As an educator, my primary objective is to create a dynamic and nurturing learning environment where students can not only learn effectively but also enjoy the process. My utmost priority is to make sure that each student feels respected, valued, and listened to. I keep all of my classes small so that I can give each learner what they need. I am genuinely excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this incredible journey, contributing to your childβs education and overall growth.Reviews
