My name is Sofia, and I am currently a junior at Boise State University, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Neuroscience. I've received excellent grades in complex psychology classes such as statistical methods, abnormal psychology, research methods, psychological neuroscience, and development; as well as introductory psychology and AP Psychology (scored a 4 on the exam). I am an official member of the International Honor Society in Psychology, better known as Psi Chi, and have been on the Dean's List at Boise State University for 4 consecutive semesters, paired with a 3.9 GPA.
For essay writing, I received excellent scores in both English 101 and 102, even being able to take English 101 as a junior in high school. My research proposal that I had to complete for research is a great demonstration of my writing, both in the academic and grammatical sense, I scored a 100% on that final project plus 20 points in extra credit. Psychology and essay writing are my strongest categories.
I have no formal teaching or tutoring experience, however my informal tutoring experience involves assisting peers with essays and psychology work, as well as my high-school aged sister; usually with a one-on-one setting in person and over the phone. While I am tutoring, I will prioritize a one-on-one peer tutoring approach, student to student. I tend to align with more student-focused, inquiry-based approaches; allowing my sessions to tailor directly to the student's learning style and needs, while encouraging them to ask questions rather than receive direct answers. I also like to encourage my students to use metacognition; to reflect upon their own learning. I am open to both middle and high school grade levels and promise to foster learning and growth for all students alike!
