Throughout your child's education they should learn to expand their reading and writing skills.

I can work with all age levels on writing a personal narratives, expanding their thoughts and ideas, how to go about reading a novel while collecting key information, writing about theme (as well as other important writing prompts) and reviewing grammar and punctuate rules.

Hi. My name is Samantha Meininger and I am 13 years old and in the 8th grade. I have always had a love for school and I am currently in an advanced math program at my school, on the math team, and I take advanced math courses outside of school. Some of my hobbies include reading, dancing and art. I love helping younger kids develop a love for learning and I enjoy watching them improve. I look forward to meeting you!
