Hi! My name is Sophie and I am a child studies and human development major and studio art minor at Tufts University. I have lots of experience tutoring age groups ranging from elementary school to college. In high school, I served as a Writing Center tutor, in which I spent multiple hours per week tutoring students, whose works encompassed a wide scope of styles and topics. I received bi-monthly training to sharpen my writing and tutoring skills. Later in high school, I spent the summer at Steppingstone Scholars. There, I assisted in English classes and helped to tutor underserved middle school students in preparation for their transition to private school. At Tufts, I worked longs hours with sixth graders to improve their reading skills, writing skills, and confidence. As a peer counselor for the Tufts mental health hotline, and as someone with extensive experience working with children and adolescents, I think I make students feel comfortable and accepted for who they are. As a tutor, I hope to strengthen the academic skills of my students, and inspire them to feel confident in themselves and their work.
I served at my high school's writing center for three years, during which I helped students extensively with English and history papers. Meetings varied widely--from helping an AP History student with a complex comparative essay about the Civil and Revolutionary Wars, to leading a poetry workshop for high schoolers interested in finding their inner poet, I have relevant experience working analytically and creatively.
Please contact me on Wyzant's platform if you would like to schedule a lesson! I have flexible hours and would love to help you become a better reader and writer. :)
