Hello, my name is Sophia! I am an undergraduate at Princeton University, studying at the School of Public and International Affairs with a 3.576 GPA. I graduated from the International Baccalaureate program with a 4.0 GPA and honors, having learned conversational Spanish and all standard skills.

From high school to college, I have had a deep fondness for learning and have always been adamant about encouraging other students to aspire to learn as much as possible. However, it was in the moments when I had someone who saw my potential and pushed me to try my hardest in the subjects I felt uncomfortable with that I found my strengths and thrived. In these instances of one-on-one tutoring, I discovered it to be a place of encouragement and excitement.

My favorite tutoring methods are explanation, experience, and practice. First, we walk through a practice example. Then, you best describe your perspective to help me gauge and analyze how you think, blending your present knowledge with mine. Finally, I allow time for individual practice to prompt creative thinking. Afterward, I review your work and repeat it until you have a concrete understanding.

My experience includes a year of one-on-one online tutoring during high school with the service organization, Army of Angels. In that year I volunteered several hours a week and worked intensely with high school and middle school students. The subjects covered ranged from Algebra, Writing, Reading, and Spanish. These dedicated hours helped me learn the necessary tools to be collaborative and patient with students while developing a productive environment. Besides tutoring these students in core subjects, I have assisted in editing college application essays.

I am available to teach English, Math, Spanish, and Science. I can also assist in SAT prep and other standardized tests. Additionally, I am proficient in essay writing, ranging from school writing to college applications. I am very easy to reach, so please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Approved Subjects

English

English

In high school, I completed Higher-Level IB Literature and English courses with straight A's. At Princeton, I have taken several writing, history, and anthropology courses focused on intensive reading and English-driven topics. These experiences have equipped me with the tools to not only review, organize, and analyze others' works, but also to encourage creative thinking related to these subjects.
Psychology

Psychology

In high school, I completed AP-level and IB Standard Level Psychology courses with all A's. Additionally, I earned similar grades in three Princeton Psychology courses: Introduction to Psychology, Social Psychology, and Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience. These classes have provided me with a strong and extensive foundation in these subjects and have prepared me to tutor students taking these or similar courses.
Spanish

Spanish

I graduated from the International Baccalaureate program, completing Higher Level Spanish with all A's. At university, I continued my Spanish studies for a year to fulfill my degree requirements. Overall, I have strong experience in basic conversational Spanish, as well as a solid understanding of its structure, grammar, and vocabulary.
Writing

Writing

I completed the International Baccalaureate with high scores on all of my written Internal Assessments. In addition to teaching me essential writing skills such as proper grammar, structure, and critical thinking, this experience also helped me learn how to proofread other papers. Beyond my experience writing several college supplements and tutoring current high school students in this subject, I have also taken numerous higher-level writing courses at Princeton University. While I am capable of tutoring foundational yet critical skills, I also have the expertise to enhance a student's paper and instill vital tools that will assist them in future assignments.

IB TOK - Great tutor

Sophia tutored my daughter for IB TOK and was extremely knowledgeable. They worked on a project due the next day, and she provided precise instructions that helped my daughter complete her work successfully. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and very supportive. I would highly recommend her!

Knowledgeable and Accommodating Tutor

Sophia was great with my daughter. She was knowledgeable, flexible and easy to work with. She definitely helped her feel more confident with the concepts they reviewed.

Lindsey, 2 lessons with Sophia

Extremely knowledgeable, patient and adaptive

Sophia has been a tremendous help to our middle-school son, teaching him all manners of study including speech and debate homework, Spanish (vocabulary + conversational) and reading. But equally important is the confidence instilled in him by having someone coach him through these topics with experience and expertise while still making it an enjoyable session.

Helpful and Knowledgeable Tutor

Sophia is extremely kind and patient! We worked through the research paper I am working on for my Psychology class. Sophia is extremely knowledgeable and gave me suggestions as to how to enhance my writing skills and strengthen my paper. I highly recommend Sophia for academic writing support!
