About Sophie
Hobbies
Hi! I’m Sophie, a passionate and approachable tutor who loves helping others feel more confident in their learning. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, doing aerial arts like Lyra, and spending time with my dogs. I bring creativity and patience to my sessions, and I aim to make learning feel less overwhelming and more enjoyable. Whether you need support understanding tricky topics or building better study habits, I’m here to help you feel empowered and capable.
Values
I believe every student deserves a learning space where they feel supported, understood, and capable. As a tutor, I focus on patience, consistency, and encouragement. I know how frustrating it can be when things don’t “click” right away, so I tailor sessions to fit each student’s learning style. My goal is to help you build confidence, independence, and a deeper understanding of your subjects—not just to get the answer, but to truly feel like you understand it.
Academics
I’m Sophie, a detail-oriented and supportive tutor with a strong background in English, Humanities, and Science. I specialise in breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps and helping students build effective study habits along the way. I understand the pressure of high expectations and the desire to do well, and I’m here to offer structured, encouraging support tailored to your goals. Together, we’ll make learning more manageable—and maybe even enjoyable.
