Certified k-6 teacher - patient and dedicated

Sofia A.

I bring over 16 years of experience as a certified educator, language specialist, and academic leader. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Montreal, complemented by extensive professional development in education, ESL instruction, and language acquisition.

Throughout my career, I have served as a classroom teacher (2nd, 4th, and middle school), interventionist across all grade levels, Assistant Principal, District ESL Coordinator, and Language Acquisition Specialist. These roles allowed me to work with diverse learners, including emergent bilinguals and struggling writers, in both one-on-one and small-group settings. I specialize in tailoring lessons to meet individual student needs, aligning instruction with state standards, and using data-driven strategies to accelerate growth.

My tutoring style is supportive, structured, and highly personalized. I begin by identifying each student’s strengths and growth areas, then design lessons that are engaging, goal-oriented, and scaffolded for success. Whether it’s helping a young learner master foundational reading and math skills, guiding an emergent bilingual student in writing, or preparing older students for academic challenges, I focus on building confidence as well as competence.

Parents and students can expect clear communication, patience, and a commitment to seeing measurable progress. My goal is to create a positive learning environment where students feel encouraged to take risks, grow academically, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
