Sophia

Certified Tutor

Growing up my mind was filled with questions. Why was the ocean salty but not the Great Lakes? How much does the earth weigh? Although these constant inquiries drove my parents crazy, they ultimately led me to study the Sciences. I could not wait to study Science in high school and hurried home the first day to start reading my textbooks. But there was a problem. The textbooks were not exciting at all. They were also barely comprehensible. Science was taught in a language I did not initially understand. As your tutor, I can help translate the language of Science to one you can understand and master. I can also teach you useful study habits and techniques that will help you succeed in a competitive academic environment. Using real life examples, acronyms, and good study hygiene will make science classes easier than you ever imagined!

I developed these study habits and techniques while earning my Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Puget Sound (Seattle). I graduated summa cum laude and was awarded honors in my major. I am a certified tutor in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology. I became a tutor to teach students the tricks I learned and to spend more time with the subjects I love!
