About Sofia


Bio

I am a recent Stanford graduate with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Classics, passionate about helping students excel in science courses and standardized testing. I scored in the top 1% on the SAT, earned a perfect score on the Biology SAT Subject Test, and achieved top marks on AP exams including Calculus AB/BC, Spanish, and Latin.

I am a recent Stanford graduate with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Classics, passionate about helping students excel in science courses and standardized testing. I scored in the top 1% on the SAT, earned a perfect score on the Biology SAT Subject Test, and achieved top marks on AP exams including Calculus AB/BC, Spanish, and Latin. At Stanford, I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills that allow me to break down challenging concepts and tailor lessons to each student’s learning style.

I have extensive experience mentoring and tutoring students from lower school to high school, including learners with ADHD and dyslexia. I have also helped design and implement curriculum for workshops and courses. My approach emphasizes pattern recognition and critical thinking while fostering curiosity, resilience, and confidence. Additionally, having successfully navigated the competitive college admissions process, I can offer guidance to students and families on preparing applications and managing this stressful process.

What I enjoy most is helping students see tangible progress—whether improving SAT scores, mastering AP material, or preparing for college-level work. As a fluent Spanish speaker who grew up bilingual, I can help students at any level strengthen their Spanish skills as well! I am motivated by guiding students to reach their full potential, build independence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Writing

Writing

In high school, I received the English department’s award, given to the graduating senior who demonstrates a passion for language and literary art, takes intellectual risks, works diligently, and communicates ideas with conviction and clarity. During my gap year, I taught English—focusing on vocabulary, spelling, and grammar—to high school students in Italy, helping them improve their written communication. I later minored in Classics at Stanford, where I refined my writing and developed strong skills in analysis and critical reasoning. I enjoy helping students organize their thoughts, express themselves clearly, and gain confidence in their writing.
