About Me.
My ethos:
As an independent tutor, my priority has always been to build confidence within my students, so they have the self-belief and drive needed to meet any and all of their goals. I focus on fostering problem-solving skills, critical thinking and awareness of the 'why' behind what we are learning, so that my students learn how to study effectively and efficiently, and in turn reach academic achievements. Whether we're working on exam technique in Y11, fine-tuning specification content in Y13, or simply catching up on knowledge missed through the school year, I have tried and tested teaching tricks, revision tips, and exam tactics to boost understanding, grades and most importantly, confidence.
In my 3 years running 'TuitionwithSophie', my roster of students has grown from friends of friends to a fully-fledged cohort of approximately 15-20 students each week. I have students from all across the UK, and experience as an international tutor with students from Spain, Greece and Dubai. Despite this, I only offer a maximum of 24 slots a week, so often need to place new students on a waiting list between February and June, so that I can deliver my full attention to current students during their exam periods, before taking on anyone new. With me, this guarantees lessons of excellent quality and value, where every week comes with new knowledge or new goals achieved.
Though my expertise in the Sciences is lengthier, I have a passion for literature and have always encouraged my students to outgrow the notion that you only have a 'maths/science brain' or a 'creative brain' and cannot excel at both. I particularly enjoy Shakespeare, but have extensive experience in language tuition and overcoming the difficulties that many students face with the ambiguities of an English course.
I am particularly passionate about creating effective learning strategies for neurodiverse students and those with learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, or processing disorders, such as ADHD. I firmly believe that education is for everyone and there's no reason why differences in any form should keep a student from reaching their full potential.
