About Sophie

I grew up with rigorous training in International Math Olympiads from elementary school to middle school. My belief in education and my need for helping others led me to two Master's degrees in Development Economics and Special Education. These experiences gave me opportunities to not only learn about advanced math and pedagogy for students with various needs, but also better understand cultures, individuality, childhood development, macro-development, in general, humanity. In addition to teaching 4th and 5th grade math, I also tutor students (aging from 9 to 17) Math and Chinese. I love the interaction with the students, and only wish I could give them more with the time I have in the classroom.

About the lesson

I tutor elementary, middle school, and high school math. I also tutor Chinese. I firmly believe that all students can learn more effectively, regardless of their socioeconomic and cultural background, ability levels, or performance levels, as long as they have the access to an education that is suitable for them. To many of these students, one-on-one or small group tutoring is the optimal setting, because I've seen how much high achieving students crave for more and how much kids with needs can improve just with some extra attention everyday.

I also believe that teaching and learning should be a holistic experience. It is about developing a trusting relationship between the teacher and students. To me, good teachers not only teach academics, but also teach technology, communication, social emotional skills, and problem solving skills in the real world. I often connect math with science and social studies. I teach my students to look at math concepts in a useful, practical, and fun way. I teach students to see how math is not just a school subject or some boring numbers, it is really integrated everywhere in our daily life. I also teach testing skills, especially in computer based assessments, because it is proven from my experience that students do benefit from learning and practicing these skills, which will be even more important in middle school and high school.

Sophie has been tutoring my 10 year old son math. My son was having a hard time paying attention and retaining what he learned in the classroom. Sophie is an observant teacher and very knowledgable in math. She is personable and my son enjoys working with her. Sophie ties my son's school curriculum with his interest and made the lessons fun and relatable to him. I also liked that she has developed her own Canvas content to incorporate in her lessons, which has greatly helped my son with his testing preparation. With Sophie's help and encouragement, my son is gaining confidence in math and in the classroom!
