Sofia: Garland tutor

Certified Tutor

As a journalism student at the University of Florida, I am passionate about helping students navigate the intricacies of the English language, particularly in adult literacy and ESL contexts. With experience teaching adult learners, including those with diverse linguistic backgrounds, I focus on meeting students where they are and fostering a supportive, dialogue-rich environment that encourages exploration and understanding. My teaching philosophy balances explicit instruction with opportunities for implicit learning, ensuring that every student can leverage their existing knowledge. I believe that every individual's unique voice contributes to their storytelling ability, and I am committed to helping them express it. Whether it's through essay editing or enhancing reading comprehension, I strive to create a collaborative learning experience that ignites a love for language and storytelling.
