Hello, my name is Samuel Pool, and I am a graduate of UAB with a bachelors in Computer and Information Sciences.  During the daytime I am a software developer, and in the evenings I very much enjoy also working with the team at Mathnasium.  I've always enjoyed math, and I love seeing that spark of sudden understanding in a child's mind when they learn something new.   It is very rewarding to me if I'm able to help a student correct an issue in their problem solving and get stronger at math.   In my spare time I enjoy cycling, swimming, and the outdoors.
