About Sofia
Hi! I'm Sofia, I studied electrical engineering and I am currently pursuing a second degree in pure mathematics, with the intention of becoming a college professor. I am profoundly moved by the beauty in math, by the joy of solving puzzles, by the blissful feeling of challenging and connecting with my mind, and I love to transmit this passion to my students. I also adore the art of teaching in and of itself. It is all about human connection; learning the nuances of how someone thinks, exchanging stories and ideas, being real and present together. My work is ultimately about nourishing the human element that seems to be so lost in the digital age. Other than math, I also really enjoy Brazilian jiu jitsu. I used to teach a team with over 50 students, and have competed professionally and won a world championship :)

Welcome to empathy-driven and philosophy-backed math!
Mathematics is beautiful and deeply fascinating. It is the language of reality, of logical reasoning and of unbridled creativity. Unfortunately, most students are taught in a formulaic way which does not stimulate intuition, or intellectual connection to the subject. Does it seem like you are just memorizing formulas without really understanding what is happening beneath the surface? Well, you are not "bad" at math - you have been badly taught.
Ideas don't exist in a vacuum; they will only truly be internalized if they are mapped to your construction of reality. In my classes, we build bridges between new ideas and your lived experience. We question everything, never take a formula for granted, and we explore the intuition and essence of math without memorizing rules. I teach, above all, with empathy and personal connection; this is what makes the process real, rather than the same old robotic process we are so used to.
It took me years on my own journey to undo my own mental blocks, and when I started to understand things in a deep and intuitive way, focusing on the concept and not the formula, I grew wings and fell in love with mathematics. I felt powerful in truly understanding and solving the puzzles, it became fun, challenging, enticing! My mission is to transmit this passion that I feel to all those who cross my path. Come embark on this beautiful and rewarding journey with me!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Sofia.
Perfect! Kind!
Perfect! Sofia was immensely helpful, patient, and able to explain the concepts of Pre-Calculus to me in a way that was actually understandable—something that the assignments I’d been provided lacked. I struggled with spatial awareness and have a lot of bad history with school that made engaging with these kinds of assignments in the past very difficult. And even then, she was able to explain things such as graphs, Pythagorean Theorem, logarithms, etc. to me in a way I understood and was even able to enjoy. I’m AuDhD with ongoing C-PTSD, however she was very patient with any needs or setbacks that I had and was willing work alongside me in this regard. I would 100% recommend her as a tutor and if there ever comes another time I run into a math course I struggle with, I’d definitely hope to work with her again!
Perfect! Sofia is an amazing tutor! She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She was able to break down and help me understand all of the concepts in my college calculus class.
Perfect! It was great working with her, and I learned a lot during our lesson. Her passion and knowledge of math shone through. She is clearly dedicated to her students and wants the best for them.
Perfect! Sofia is very empathetic and warm. A real delight to work with!
Perfect! Sofia is wonderful tutor. She's patient and supportive.
Perfect! Fast paced, asks a lot of questions, detailed and patient.
Perfect! Sofia is the most patient and understanding tutor I have ever worked with. her ability to change her approach and adapt to my learning style helped me immensely this semester. I wish i'd found her earlier!
Perfect! Excellent session. My son said he learned more in a 1/2 hour session than he did in weeks of class.
Perfect! Sofia is a wonderful tutor. My daughter’s understanding of ap cal has really improved and she’s finally enjoying it. Also, Sofia is very willing to accommodate my daughter’s busy schedule and that is very helpful!
Perfect! At this rate, if I work with Sofia I could actually fall in love with calculus. I have ADHD and she's super informative and thorough enough to help me comprehend the process of the problem I'm working on and allow me to work through on my own. Just booked my second session! See you guys on the passing side of the grade scale!
Perfect! Sofia is absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind, patient, and always makes things easy to understand. Without a doubt, she’s the best tutor I’ve ever had. Her teaching style has made a huge difference in my learning experience.
Perfect! She's very kind and insightful. Highly empathetic and patient towards students.
Perfect! Great AP Calc BC tutor
Perfect! She is a very good, passionate and well-planned teacher.
Perfect! Sofia is a great tutor!
Perfect! Sofia has been a wonderful help to my daughter, who was struggling a bit in pre calculus and is now getting As and A+s. Sofia loves math and helps my daughter really understand the concepts behind the equations. She has also been flexible about rescheduling and sweet to stay on to answer extra questions. Sofia is a great role model and our family is very grateful!
Perfect! A truly remarkable tutor. I feel like I have a solid grasp of concept I was struggling with just an hour before.
Perfect! Very patient and an expert in teaching mathematics
Perfect! I met twice with Sofia so far, and she's a good listener. She explained things so I understood them and she's easy to work with. She even stayed longer on a call with me in our second meeting so that I could really grasp a complex concept.
Perfect! Knew what material to guide me through to make more advanced concepts easier. Has a passion for math that shows a lot in her teaching.
Perfect! My son loves math but was becoming frustrated with the format of his calculus course. Sofia was able to break down the topics in a fresh, easily understandable way and make math fun and exciting for my son again. Highly recommend!
Perfect! Sofia is absolutely amazing! My daughter has always excelled in math, however AP Calculus BC was another story. Over the course of a month, Sofia was able to help my daughter with Calculus to not just improve her grades and score a high A in midterms but also making sure she understood the concepts that will help her later.
Perfect! Sofia is a great teacher!!
Perfect! Sofia is very thorough and conscientious. She is patient and helpful and it was also easy to communicate with her to schedule a session!
Perfect! Sofia was very supportive. She gave a lot of excellent feedback and advice, as well as a concrete plan on how to proceed for a successful school year.

Perfect! Sofia has been an amazing tutor!! She’s taught me so much and I am becoming so much more confident in my math. I would 100% recommend her if you struggle with math and want to get better. She’s kind and doesn’t judge you and she is a great teacher.
Perfect! Sofia really goes out of her way to make sure you understand the content on a deeper level
Perfect! Sofia can quickly identify weaknesses just by looking at a set of correctly-solved problems. Her explanations are clear and her passion for math is contagious. Wonderful tutor!
Perfect! Approach including empathy and tailoring a lesson plan. Openness to the needs of our student. A generative and humble approach to teaching
Perfect! Sofia was amazing! She was able to connect with my daughter and give her the confidence to tackle not only her assignments but also the crippling anxiety that was causing her to question her abilities.
Perfect! Sofia stands out among many tutors we've encountered, for the following three main reasons (I'm not going to list "being nice", "punctual", "knowledgeable" etc. as these are considered must-haves):
1) She does her homework and always comes to the class prepared.
2) When we worked on Venn diagram, she prepared practice questions of ascending difficulties. She started with the easiest and gradually led my daughter to a deeper and deeper thinking.
3) She goes above and beyond and associates current topic with future concepts. e.g. right after Venn diagram, she started to introduce concepts of probabilities, in a natural and intuitive way.Perfect! Sofía is so friendly, and kind. I appreciate her creative approach, and her enthusiasm is highly contagious! I’m really looking forward to my future lessons!
Perfect! Sofia is well spoken, passionate, and a great teacher!
Perfect! Sofia is amazing at evaluating where my son needs help and focusing on those areas while also making him feel confident in the areas he’s stronger. My son was resistant to the idea of a tutor but after the first lesson he’s 100% on board and feels like it’s time well spent. Sofia is also very quick to respond and makes time in her schedule for us. Can’t say enough great things about her!
Perfect! Extremely passionate about making sure the student truly grasps and understands the material. Tries and adapts teaching style to fit the learning style of the student! Truly cares if you understand the topic.
Perfect! Sofia is thorough, kind, passionate about math, engaged in the well-being of her students, and a joy to work with! It's rare to find a person who both loves the subject she teaches and the joy of teaching itself.
Perfect! Gave me lots of online supplemental support suggestions to start with.
Perfect! Sofia was amazing! She is really great at explaining things and personalizes the lesson so that you really understand. I enjoyed working with her and would 100% recommend hiring her for math help.
- Sofia's response :
Perfect! She is so patient and kind, also she loves math so much that it is contagious, I left class feeling good about myself and good about the work that I was doing. Thanks, Sofia!!!
- Sofia's response :
Perfect! Very good at explaining, great with making time accommodations and very fast response time with questions.
Perfect! This session really cleared some trigonometry topics up for me and I feel much less anxious for my test tomorrow. Thank you Sofia!
Perfect! Sofia really has a depth of knowledge, and tries to understand the kid well to know where they are and how they best learn and tries to get the best out of them. She took time to reach out to me ( mom) to initially get our view and get to know the kid. Very timely as well. Thank you Sofia, looking forward on this journey with you for Umas AP Calc !
- Sofia's response :
Perfect! Sofia is fantastic, best teacher I have ever had. Thank you for your hard work and patience with me, truly a hidden treasure in this site
- Sofia's response :
Perfect! Can't adequately express my gratitude for Sofia's help, she really dug into the source of my lack of confidence in math and transformed my self-image into someone who is capable of solving problems. The lessons are high quality and unique, great teacher

Sofia is very committed to making her students understand the concept of things very well, she is organized in teaching and advances from piece to piece until she creates a very solid base in her students, I am a fan!
Sofia is such an inspiring teacher, she helped my daughter Ana so much! And it was surprising how Ana went from a strong dislike of Math to even enjoying it. Not that she loves it, to be perfectly honest, but she does find it enjoyable and has been performing progressively better on her tests. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend this math online teacher. Sofias explanations are clear and easy to understand, and she makes even the most difficult concepts seem manageable.
I really would like to recommend Sofia as a teacher, really appreciate her methods and way of teaching. I couldn't recommend her enough.
She is so attentive and helpful, has a deep grasp on the concepts and went above and beyond to ensure I got an A in calculus.
Great teacher!!! Very caring and dedicated!
Sofia is a amazing teacher, she domain all areas of math. Best choice for improve your math skills
To whom it may concern,
I've been taking classes with Sofia for almost two years and what I can say is that the classes are great. She is pretty paciente but tough when It os needed too. In short, I recommend classes with her.I have been quite surprised since starting to work with Sofia, what strikes me most is her enthusiasm day to day and friendly attitude even when we spot a topic that seems too complex for me. Her dedication to the class is visible. There is previous preparation in order to ensure an engaging experience, caring when one feels left behind and an individual approach when required. Furthermore, she always provided personal feedback and external material to learn from. Definitely recommend her as a teacher.
Sofia is incredibly patient and attentive with her students. She understands that each student has their own pace and teaches accordingly. She's very eager to make the class as enjoyable and productive as possible
She’s patient, calm and will explain twice if you don’t understand something. She’s a nice person, she’s kind and you feel free to ask anything without the fear of being scolded.
Very good, patient and smart teacher. I highly recommend.
Incredible teacher, Sofia did a great job with Callie, my daughter, who was struggling in algebra 2. Callie passed with flying colors and is now looking forward to the next year in math
Sofia is such a great master! Not only does she teach Math with a very pleasant approach, but at least in my experience I had never learnt how to look at Math in a way that I could "learn to learn" as I did with her. Granted, I had always liked Math but it was more from the challenge it presented than what I now feel like an almost aesthetic appreciation of its beauty and intuitiveness. I am very grateful for her insights!
