As a student who has struggled with many subjects herself, I understand what its like to struggle academically and what it takes to overcome those struggles. The greatest way I was able to overcome my struggles was by having a great teacher. Hence it became my personal mission to help other students the way I received help by imparting all the knowledge I obtained from my teachers on to other students.

My name is Sofia. Writing and researching is my thing.
