Services
"Down in the Count"
"Down in the Count" is designed to help students who are struggling with math and need support to get caught up. With the help of the "Pre-Tutoring Questionnaire" and the initial assessment, we will figure out the best starting point for each student, and we'll develop a plan that helps them feel more confident in math and one that helps them get caught up.
"Ahead in the Count"
"Ahead in the Count" is designed for students who are at grade-level or above grade-level in math. With the help of the the "Pre-Tutoring Questionnaire" and initial assessment, we will figure out the best starting point for each student. We will develop a plan that allows each student to practice math at their level, while introducing new, more complex mathematic concepts that strengthen each students math confidence.
"Save Situation"
"Save Situation" is designed specifically for students who need extra assistance with concepts that are being covered in their daily classrooms. If a students are struggling to complete their homework, they need some extra help before a test, or if they just need some extra reinforcement of the concept they are covering in class, this service is a great option.
Meet the tutor
My name is Sam Karmia, and I'm the head tutor at Leadoff Learning. I've been teaching at the elementary level for nearly 10 years. I attended Butler University, where I gained practicum experience teaching and creating lessons for each elementary grade level. I also had the opportunity to student-teach in a 3rd-grade class and a 6th-grade special education class. After graduating in 2014, I moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where I taught technology to students in the K-5 range. After my wife received her PhD from the University of Tennessee, we moved to San Diego, where I was a 4th and 5th-grade teacher for four years. Last year, I worked as a 5th-grade Math and Science teacher here in Arizona but decided to step away from the classroom to help students on a more individual level. Now, I'm ready to use my skillset and experience to create high-impact math tutoring sessions for individual students, whether they need to catch up, get ahead, or stay on track.
