Sophie: Essex County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently a Junior at University at Buffalo. I am pursuing a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering. I have been tutoring since my junior year of high school, with a primary focus on high school physics, AP Physics, and Physics 1. My passion for tutoring physics stems from my understanding that it is often the most difficult science for students to comprehend because it requires a way of thinking unlike any other science. My teaching philosophy centers around the belief that every student has the potential to grasp complex concepts sometimes it just takes a personalized approach and a little patience.

I aim to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and ultimately mastering the material at their own pace. I view learning as a collaborative process: my role is not only to provide knowledge but to guide students in developing the problem-solving skills and confidence they need to tackle challenges independently.

I believe it's crucial to connect abstract theories to real-world applications, so students can see the relevance and beauty of the concepts they are learning.
