About Sophie
I’m in my third year of my Biomedical Science degree at the University of Auckland with a passion for teaching and helping others succeed academically!
Back in high school, I was the Academic Prefect in my final year and really enjoyed subjects like English, Classics, and Biology. I was lucky enough to earn a few awards along the way, like Top English Student, the Top Biology Prize, Academic Honors, and Academic Colors. I also completed Duke of Edinburgh Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Now that I am at university, I continue to build on that academic foundation and love sharing what I’ve learned. I aim to make tutoring fun and engaging - so students can grow in both confidence and capability.
Outside of study, I enjoy writing, traveling, and spending time in nature - whether it’s tramping in the South Island or exploring the Hauraki Gulf.

I’ve been tutoring for four years now- starting with running my high school’s tutoring program and continuing through my first three years at university. I specialize in NCEA subjects, and I also work with Years 7–10 to build strong foundations and confidence in learning.
My lessons are tailored to how you learn best, with a big focus on active recall—a proven way to improve memory and understanding. For science subjects like Biology, we’ll create and review flashcards to lock in key concepts. We’ll also break down challenging topics with flow charts, step-by-step explanations. Then we’ll pull it all together with practice questions and past papers, so you know how to apply what you've learned!
In English and Classics, I love using mind maps to explore ideas, plan essays, and build strong arguments. I also put a big focus on exam strategy - because knowing the content is only half the battle. We’ll work on things like how to tackle different question types, manage your time, and structure your answers so you’re not caught off guard on the day.
