About Sophia

Hello everyone! My name is Sophia, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I am a recent BSc Psychology Alumnus from McGill University, and a poetry, art, and travel enthusiast. Currently, I spend my days working as a research assistant for two psychology research teams at McGill, interning at the Montreal Fluency Centre, co-hosting and running monthly open-mic poetry nights, organizing the services the McGill Peer Support Centre, and exploring the city of Montreal during these warm summer days.

I am a Native-English speaker in Canada, and have studied in both English and in French throughout my years of schooling. I have a love for the French language, and a passion for its literature. I often spend my rainy days in getting cozy with a cup of tea and a good French book! I have much experience in writing, speaking, and reading comprehension in French. My accent is that of European French. My love for languages and the beauty of connecting with the world through language has also driven me to learn an intermediate level of Italian in University as well as some basic German. I also grew up learning Bulgarian at home, and now speak the language primarily with my grandmother. All of this is to say that I have quite a bit of experience in learning new languages, and have developed some tips and tricks along the way that will be helpful to you in learning and improving your own French!

My enthusiasm for tutoring began in 2019, when I worked as an Alumnus tutor at Marianopolis College and tutored fellow students in Calculus and Linear Algebra. In 2020, I began tutoring English, French, Calculus and Linear Algebra at Superprof. My most recent tutoring experience is at my clinical internship at the Montreal Fluency Centre, where I work one-on-one with high school students to help them develop independent learning strategies. That is, I teach students how to learn school topics, focused around techniques that are personally most adaptive to them. As your own personal tutor, I will work with you to uncover and develop your own personal learning strategies most adaptive to how you learn the French language.

I would love to support learners of French as they get acquainted with the language and develop proficiency. As I have been a student myself for 18 years of my life, I definitely know how challenging school can be. I understand the frustrations with learning a new language -- I've been there myself! Throughout my time studying French, I've developed some tips to help make that learning experience a smoother ride. And that is why I love tutoring: because I want to share those tips with you too! I'm here to help you. Send me a message and I'll get back to you within 24hrs. :) Merci beaucoup!

About the lesson

Hi everybody! If you are here reading this, thank you for taking an interest in learning French with me! I'm happy you're here, and I'd love the opportunity to guide you through your learning as we work together to help you establish your best fluency in the French language.

From my own personal experience learning languages, I definitely know how challenging it can be to learn a new language. I make it my priority to tailor the lesson to the learner's goals, learning styles, and needs. I focus on working together with the learner, so that they are also free to guide the tutoring lessons based on what they feel they need the most help with. Therefore, my classes are flexible and based on the student's needs. The level of instruction is intended for anyone who wants to learn and improve their French!

Some examples of what a session might look like include:
*the learner is welcome to suggest other styles of tutoring sessions as well, based on their individual goals. please contact me so we can discuss it!

*SPOKEN FRENCH*: Sophia and the learner may engage in casual conversation so that the learner gets the opportunity to practice hearing and understanding french, as well as the chance to practice their own spoken french. Sophia will provide feedback on pronunciation and vocabulary. For group sessions, the learners may all engage in conversation while Sophia listens and provides feedback .
*READING COMPREHENSION*: Sophia may provide texts for the learner to read with the tutor during the session. Questions may be reflected upon and answered in order to practice comprehending french texts. The learner may also suggest their own text.
*WRITTEN FRENCH*: Sophia may provide writing prompts for topics in french, and the learner may practice engaging in writing skills. Sophia will review the text and provide feedback.

Please reach out to me if you are interested in starting a lesson with me (first 30 mins is free!), or if you have any questions or concerns. :) Merci beaucoup!

I highly recommend Sophia as the next teacher you hire. She is one of the most kind and understanding people you've ever meet. She creates this space where you feel like you can ask any question no matter how dumb you might think it is and it's welcomed. She is incredible at explaining tough topics and will be empathetic and encouraging when you might not understand. She will take her time to make sure you feel comfortable and confident with every topic. I would wish you the best in whatever class you're taking, but having Sophia as your teacher ensures it. TLDR; She is the teacher you would want by your side for each and every class.

Sophia is super consistent and dedicated. Whenever I need more time to understand something, she always takes the time to really review things with me. Her focus is really on comprehension and absorption of knowledge, not speed. I highly recommend!
