Experienced and Adaptable: Elementary/Middle/Highschool Tutor

Sophia O.

Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor passionate about helping students gain confidence, master challenging subjects, and achieve academic success. I graduated Summa Cum Laude in high school and am currently a Finance major at the University of Florida. I’ve excelled in a wide range of AP courses, earning strong scores in AP World History (4), AP U.S. History (4), AP U.S. Government (5), AP Language (5), AP Literature (4), and AP Psychology (4). My academic background also includes advanced math (AP Calculus, AP Statistics) and Spanish Dual Enrollment I–III, all completed with top grades. I’m also fluent in Portuguese.

My tutoring approach is student-centered, flexible, and results-driven. I use a variety of proven strategies and resources tailored to each student’s learning style. Whether we're reviewing essays, breaking down math concepts, or preparing for AP exams, I focus on clarity, engagement, and building strong study habits. My experience includes tutoring students in elementary math (Mathnasium), Algebra I & II, Precalculus, English (essay support), and AP exam prep. I also guide high schoolers through the college application process, offering personalized advice on Common App essays, structure, and strategy.

In addition to academics, I offer tutoring in violin and basic music theory. With over 10 years of playing experience, I’ve performed in All-State and All-County orchestras (violin), jazz bands (saxophone) concert bands (saxophone, violin, and contrabass), and founded/taught my school’s String Ensemble. I continue to teach beginner and intermediate students today.

I’m excited to help you reach your goals through a personalized, supportive, and efficient learning plan!
