About Sofia
Having always had a strong passion for teaching, I focus on understanding each student’s unique learning style and needs. I assess current skill levels, identify specific areas for growth, and design customized lesson plans and worksheets that make learning both effective and enjoyable. I take pride in helping students not only strengthen their academic skills but also build confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning.
I graduated from Siena College with degrees in Philosophy and Classics. Though my studies centered on the humanities, I have always excelled in math and science. My background in Latin and Ancient Greek has sharpened my grammar and communication skills, while philosophy has trained me to read complex texts, think critically, and write persuasively. This diverse academic foundation allows me to connect ideas across disciplines and adapt my teaching approach to each student’s individual strengths and challenges.
I began tutoring in early high school, helping out my friends and younger brothers with math. I quickly realized how rewarding it was to see them succeed. Since then, I have worked with students of all ages and abilities across a wide range of subjects. Whether supporting a struggling learner or challenging an advanced student, I tailor my approach to ensure each one feels supported, capable, and motivated to reach their full potential.

My approach to tutoring is centered on building confidence, understanding, and independence. I believe every student can succeed in mathematics when concepts are explained in a way that matches their individual learning style. Rather than simply teaching students how to get the answer, I focus on helping them understand why mathematical concepts work so they can apply them independently in the future.
My lessons are personalized to each student's goals, strengths, and areas of difficulty. I begin by identifying where a student is struggling and then break concepts into manageable steps. I use guided practice, real-world examples, visual models, and frequent checks for understanding to ensure students remain engaged and confident throughout the lesson.
A typical lesson includes:
• Reviewing previous material and addressing questions
• Introducing or reteaching concepts in a clear and accessible way
• Working through examples together
• Guided independent practice with support and feedback
• Reviewing key takeaways and creating a plan for continued success
What sets me apart is my experience working with students of all ages, abilities, and learning styles. Over the past 10 years, I have worked with elementary, middle school, high school, and college students, including those with IEPs, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and learning differences. I am patient, adaptable, and committed to creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.
I offer support in elementary mathematics, middle school mathematics, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, SAT/ACT math preparation, Regents exam preparation, and many college-level mathematics courses.
My lessons are designed for students of all ages and skill levels, whether they need remediation, homework support, test preparation, enrichment, or help building confidence in mathematics.
