Exceptional Writing, Literature, and ACT/SAT/GRE Tutor
I've always loved learning. To me, teaching is an extension of that thirst for education. I started tutoring my fellow classmates in high school and never stopped seeking to help others learn. In graduate school, I taught writing and rhetoric classes to students from the science and engineering schools, helping them develop vital communication skills.

Amazing tutor
Sonya has a wide breadth of knowledge and is clearly a very experienced tutor. She helped me a lot on getting the score I wanted on the GRE as well as editing my personal statement for graduate school. Her writing abilities are especially top-notch and she helped me learn how to write more effectively and with more clarity.

great first lesson
In our first lesson we did a quick get to know you. Sonya made sure I was able to let them know exactly what I was working on, how I like to work, and what I think I most need help with. We then dove in on the assignment I felt was most pressing. I felt very comfortable voicing my opinions and if I didn’t Sonya made sure to stop and ask if what we were doing was helpful. We worked on an assignment basically starting from scratch and they helped me come up with ideas for the assignment, we looked for research together, and made an outline and goal for our next meeting. Overall the lesson was very helpful with getting me organized without feeling extra pressure. I highly recommend Sonya as a tutor.

Exceptional
She is exceptional. Her editing skills are amazing and her comments and suggestions are invaluable. She is extremely efficient and my kid’s essay got much better after just about an hour of her time. She is trustworthy.

Sonya is Amazing
Sonya was prepared. She was interested in my vision and passion for this project and brought across great ideas and pointed out my deficiencies with care yet honesty. I’m so excited about this project because I know my screenplay will be better after our work is done!

High level comprehensible tutor
Their preparation for the ACT and SAT as well as for my AP exam was understandable and very helpful in improving the areas that I previously lacked in. I received the finer points I needed to improve my already sufficient skills to push them over the top. I was able to get everything I needed in sessions as short as an hour.

grateful for the help
Sonya is wonderful to work with. I would have struggled with the essay prompts for days and procrastinated, but Sonya pulled the answers out of me in a way that was fun and painless. She put my thoughts into words in a way that looked really good. Thank you, Sonya.

Saved my daughter from a last minute deadline
Sonya was patient and kind with my daughter. She taught her how to write and polish an essay. I have tried to help her for years, and all it took was 1 hr and 40 minutes with Sonya. Thank you.

Patient, dynamic and inspirational tutor
Sonya is working with my daughter on reading comp and writing in preparation for the ACT and SAT tests. My daughter actually looks forward to her sessions! Her confidence is building and she seems to be having fun during the sessions--this despite my daughter being a math and science girl.
