I'm Sophie, and I'm a medical student with a passion for teaching. I want to work with patients, but my other goal is to go into academic medicine. I can't picture my present or future without education in it. I began tutoring for my little sister when both of us were in high school, helping her with math, English, science, and Spanish. In college, I started branching out to tutor friends. In 2019 I began volunteer tutoring for my college's chemistry department, and soon after, I took on a job a...More

I am a firm believer in close reading and note taking. I would recommend that a student slow down and take the time to engage with the text that they may be having trouble with. Sometimes students get caught up in worrying about time or other things that rob them of their focus. By taking notes about what they are reading, while they are reading, they will force themselves to be present with the text. If they still are struggling after taking notes, at least they have a place to start in untangl...More
