succeed in the classroom.

 

My hope is to enable my students to pursue their passions beyond academics through a more efficient learning approach.

These 5 core values guide my approach to learning, tutoring, and life:

Curiosity | Humility | Balance | Resilience | Empathy

About Me

Sam Otto

Founder & Tutor

I am a freshman at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo pursuing a major in Business Administration. Recently graduating from Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose as Valedictorian, I have a proven track record of academic success. I bring two years of professional tutoring experience from my time volunteering at Schoolhouse.world, assisting students remotely with their Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 needs. I hope to foster a love for learning in my students, inspired by my own commitment to being an engaged student.

Outside academics, I enjoy golfing, spending time with my dogs, and occasionally playing video games with friends.
