Sofia

Certified Tutor

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Microbiology with a minor in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology from Texas Tech University and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. My passion for tutoring stems from my own academic journey, where I discovered the power of guidance and support in mastering challenging subjects. With experience as a Learning Assistant at Texas Tech University and a First-Year Experience (FYE) mentor in the Honors College, I have worked with diverse students, helping them build confidence and understanding in their coursework.

I specialize in tutoring Algebra, Pre-Algebra, and Biology subjects I enjoy because of their logical structure and real-world applications. My teaching philosophy revolves around patience, adaptability, and engagement. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and developing critical thinking skills. I believe in breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps and tailoring my approach to fit each student's unique learning style.

Outside of academia, I enjoy pottery, painting, hanging out with friends, and baking. Helping students achieve their academic goals is incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to making a positive impact through tutoring.
