Welcome to S.A.M Stuart!
Building strong math foundations and providing enriching challenges for kids ages 4–12 through the power of Singapore Math.
Rooted in Stuart, Focused on Every Child’s Growth
Hello! I’m Lis Iswari, Owner/Center Director at S.A.M Stuart and I’m originally from Indonesia. I have a strong passion for teaching and a deep love for mathematics. I spent over five years teaching international students in Jakarta, working with all grade levels—especially high schoolers. Math was the reason I fell in love with school. I often represented my school in math competitions, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Computer Science.
My journey brought me to the United States to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science. I later joined a startup company as a software engineer, helping it grow until it was acquired by a publicly traded company.
After starting a family and becoming a parent, I felt a renewed passion for education. I chose to homeschool my daughter mostly and was drawn back to my roots in teaching—especially in math and engineering, two subjects that have always been close to my heart.
I discovered the Singapore Math curriculum and was impressed by its depth and effectiveness. I’m excited to teach it to my own daughter (currently 4 years old) and, together with our teaching team, to bring this approach to families in our community.
I am approved as Step Up for Students provider, and you can find my program listed in the Marketplace.
