Samantha Makosa

Hello prospective students and parents! I’m delighted to share what you can expect from our learning sessions together.

??? Our Lesson Philosophy: Connect, Learn, and Grow

?My core belief is that you cannot correct if you do not connect. Therefore, the foundation of every lesson is building a strong, trusting, and positive relationship. I approach every student with unconditional positive regard, meaning I truly believe in your potential and know that success is achievable with the right amount of time, effort, and care. I am incredibly patient and dedicated to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to make mistakes and ask questions.

??? The Lesson Format: Catering to Your Unique Style

?Our lessons are highly structured yet fully customized to your individual learning style. I utilize a multi-modal approach to ensure the content sticks, no matter how you learn best:

?Visual Learners: We use engaging slides and diagrams, digital whiteboards, and clear, written notes to visually map out concepts. ?Auditory Learners: Our sessions often involve clear explanations, active discussion, and the benefit of session recordings so you can re-listen to the material at your own pace. ?Kinesthetic/Tactile Learners: Where appropriate, we integrate practical examples, hands-on activities (even in virtual environments), and problem-solving exercises to ensure you are actively doing the work.

?Each lesson typically follows a dynamic flow: Review/Check-in \rightarrow New Concept Introduction (using slides and notes) \rightarrow Guided Practice/Application \rightarrow Independent Practice/Discussion \rightarrow Summary and Next Steps. The pace is always set to ensure comprehension, not just completion.

??? My Role: Tutor, Facilitator, and Mentor

?My experience goes beyond simply tutoring a subject. I see myself as a complete learning facilitator and mentor:

?Tutor: Delivering clear, accurate, and structured subject-matter content. ?Learning Facilitator: Identifying how you learn best and adapting the material and presentation to maximize your understanding and retention. ?Mentor: Encouraging strong study habits, building confidence, and offering guidance on managing academic stress and setting long-term goals.

?I am dedicated to helping you not just pass the next test, but to develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed independently in your educational journey. All it takes is time, effort, and our shared commitment.
