Hi, I'm Sophie! I hold a master’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Florida. I have 5 years of K-5 classroom teaching experience and 2 years of private tutoring experience. While I provide tutoring services in all core subjects taught in grades K-6, I specialize in literacy and the science of reading. I focus on using UFLI and Orton Gillingham research-backed interventions, along with comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency strategies I have successfully implemented in my 3rd grade classroom.

In addition to literacy and phonics, I also specialize in ESOL instruction and accent reduction, for children and adults. I have a TEFL certification and a year of experience teaching English to adults at a language center. I primarily focus on speaking and listening, reading/writing, and pronunciation.

I’m excited to provide my expertise to help you or your child not only become proficient, but excel!

Approved Subjects

Accent Reduction

Accent Reduction

I’m a certified ESOL teacher with a Master’s degree in Education, with experience in accent reduction from my time as an adult ESL teacher. I help learners improve clarity, rhythm, stress, and intelligibility by targeting the specific sound patterns influenced by their first language. My lessons are personalized, practical, and designed to help students speak confidently and be easily understood in academic, social, and professional settings.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have 5 years experience teaching math in grades K-6, with most experience with 3rd grade math. One of my proudest teaching accomplishments was that I brought my students in the 23-24 school year to 100% proficiency on the Florida math FAST test, at a Title 1 school in a General Education classroom. I utilize multi-sensory approaches to teach a vast number of strategies to solve math problems ranging in a variety of sub-skills.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I hold a Master’s degree in Elementary Education and am a certified ESOL teacher with several years of experience teaching both children and adults. My lessons focus on improving speaking (including pronunciation assistance and accent reduction) listening, and real‑world communication skills through engaging, personalized activities. I specialize in helping learners build confidence, expand vocabulary, and use English naturally in academic, social, and professional settings. Sessions are tailored to each student’s goals, whether they’re preparing for school, work, or everyday conversation.
Phonics

Phonics

I have been trained in the UFLI science of reading intervention, as well as the Orton-Gillingham Multisensory approach, another research-based intervention. I have vast knowledge in Phonics/Phonemic Awareness, and have seen my students and previous tutoring clients improve their reading skills by large margins, in a very short amount of time.
Reading

Reading

I have been trained in the UFLI science of reading intervention, as well as the Orton-Gillingham Multisensory approach, another research-based intervention. I have vast knowledge in all reading components, and have brought my 3rd grade students to 85% proficiency in the Florida "FAST" state test.
Spelling

Spelling

I have been trained in the UFLI science of reading intervention, as well as the Orton-Gillingham Multisensory approach, another research-based intervention. I have vast knowledge in Phonics/Phonemic Awareness, and have seen my students and previous tutoring clients improve their reading and spelling skills by large margins, in a very short amount of time.
