Experienced Dental Student Specializing in Biology and Algebra

Sofia B.

Hi! I’m a dental student with a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and minors in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. My strong science foundation, combined with my experience in higher education mentoring, allows me to effectively tutor students in Biology, Microbiology, Algebra, and related subjects. I have a solid understanding of both foundational concepts and advanced material, which helps me support students ranging from middle school to college level.

I previously worked as a Learning Assistant at Texas Tech University, where I supported students in science-based courses by reinforcing lecture material, answering questions, and helping them develop problem-solving strategies. I have also served as a First-Year Experience mentor, working closely with students one-on-one to improve study habits, time management, and academic confidence. Through these roles, I gained experience tutoring students of varying academic levels and learning styles in both structured and individualized settings.

My tutoring approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps while tailoring sessions to each student’s needs. I prioritize understanding why a student is struggling so we can address gaps effectively, rather than relying on memorization alone. I aim to create a supportive, low-stress learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence. Whether a student needs help improving grades, preparing for exams, or strengthening foundational skills, I work collaboratively to help them reach their academic goals.
