About Sophila


Bio

Experiencing the "Aha" moment with my students is one of my greatest joys in teaching! I am passionate about my students truly understanding mathematics rather than memorizing and repeating.

One of my favorite teaching experiences was working as an adjunct instructor for College Prep Math courses at a local community college. My tutoring experience began in high school when I was asked to help a family member, and it has been of interest to me since then.

Experiencing the "Aha" moment with my students is one of my greatest joys in teaching! I am passionate about my students truly understanding mathematics rather than memorizing and repeating.

One of my favorite teaching experiences was working as an adjunct instructor for College Prep Math courses at a local community college. My tutoring experience began in high school when I was asked to help a family member, and it has been of interest to me since then.

I'm certified as a Math 4-8 and EC-6 generalist teacher and began teaching because I wanted to help as many students as I could gain an understanding of math. Math is everywhere, and I want people to see it! I realized quickly that working with small groups and tutoring was my preference. This enables me to work intentionally with each of my students and meet their needs better.

I have taught grades from elementary to higher education over the past ten years, with the bulk of my experience in pre-algebra and middle school math.
I was a Title I Tutor for two years and worked with an intervention team to create and teach lessons in preparation for STAAR testing as well.

Feel free to contact me with any questions and schedule a lesson, I look forward to hearing from you!

STAAR

STAAR

I have a certification in 4-8 math and EC-6 Generalist. I have experience tutoring and teaching STAAR tested grades for 7 years. I've had success with bringing up tests scores under pressure! I prepare students for standardized testing using strategies specifically geared towards problem-solving and understanding the concepts being presented in each question. Critical thinking and logical reasoning are large components of testing and I focus on improving these in all my students.

Outstanding tutor

Excellent teacher that is very patient with students. My daughter is now catching up in school when she was far behind. My daughter is also having fun learning, because Sophila is very patient and works at the child's level and speed. Best tutor I have ever encountered.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

I like that she's patient and understanding, she makes sure you understand the concept of the math. Another thing I like is that she is kind and she hears me out.

Fantastic Tutor

Sophila was on time, professional, kind and knowledgeable. She was the perfect tutor and we will use her again for sure. She helped my son understand the slope intercept formula for his Math test. She also went over proportional and non proportional linear graphs.

Lifesaver and a True Godsend!

My daughter has a routine tutoring schedule with Ms. Sophila and I absolutely appreciate all that she does for my baby. She has helped my daughter gain more confidence in math. She has also gone above the call and has recommended supplemental resources for my daughter which truly shows that she cares about Oli. Thank you for your dedication to my daughter Ms. Sophila. You're an awesome tutor!
