Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am a writing tutor, editor, and mentor with a passion for helping students develop confidence in their writing.
I have over five years of experience working with writers in a variety academic and creative settings. As a writing tutor in three different higher education institutions, I worked one-on-one with students of varying ages, backgrounds, and skill levels, including multilingual writers, Deaf students, and students with disabilities. I helped students strengthen essays across a wide range of subjects by improving organization, argumentation, clarity, grammar, and style.
I hold a bachelor's degree in Narrative Therapy, an interdisciplinary field that explores how storytelling can be used as a therapeutic tool. My studies combined creative writing, psychology, sociology, and the arts, giving me a strong understanding of both effective communication and the writing process.
Additionally, I served as a freelance editor for novelists, completing line, developmental, and copy edits. This work was supported by my personal knowledge as an independent author and former Nevada Youth Poet Laureate. My background is applicable to the majority of creative writing projects ranging from limericks to screenwriting, and I encourage any and all appointments with aspiring professional writers.
My tutoring approach is collaborative and student-centered, informed by communication principles drawn from my training as a clinical mental health counseling student. Rather than simply correcting errors, I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind revisions so they can become stronger, more independent writers. I believe every student has a unique voice worth developing, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and growing as writers. Whether you need help with an academic essay, college application, creative writing project, or general writing skills, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
