About me
Hello, I'm Sophie. I tutor Biology and Mathematics.
First of all, you don't have to have loved any subject you chose to study from the get-go. I, for example, used to be terrified of Biology. It wasn’t my type of subject at all, and I was sure I would fail. Then, I realised that I would need a background in it if I wanted to become a psychologist, so I gave it a try.

Hello, I'm Sophie. I tutor Biology and Mathematics.
First of all, you don't have to have loved any subject you chose to study from the get-go. I, for example, used to be terrified of Biology. It wasn’t my type of subject at all, and I was sure I would fail. Then, I realised that I would need a background in it if I wanted to become a psychologist, so I gave it a try. In due time, I realised that it was rather enjoyable. Before secondary school, I would never have imagined taking a matriculation exam in Biology, yet here I am, tutoring it. All I'm trying to say is, don't be afraid of any subject. You might find something that's worth your while.
Mathematics, though, has always been my passion. Starting from primary school, I've always been one of the few to enjoy Maths classes. I like to think that Probability Studies and Statistics are my 'specialties'. No one I’ve asked so far likes these two, so if you have any questions regarding them, feel free to ask. But of course, I aim to help you in anything ranging from Algebra to Geometry and beyond.
I'd like to help you on your own terms, because I believe that's the key to efficient teaching. I hope to provide you with knowledge and explanations to the extent of what you need to be successful during your exams. I know that Biology and Maths are difficult subjects, but I aim to nevertheless help you understand what you need to.
I hope I can be of help. See you at the next tutoring session!
About my sessions
Notice for tutees and parents: I operate on a 24-hour notice basis - I only go ahead with lessons that are booked at least 24 hours in advance.
To help me prepare for lessons, I’d like to ask my students to propose a topic to discuss in advance. If you can't think of anything, though, I’m ready to go with the flow.
As for classes, I'm fully flexible. If you want, we can start them with a recap, in the form of a short questionnaire, an MCQ, or as though it were...

As for classes, I'm fully flexible. If you want, we can start them with a recap, in the form of a short questionnaire, an MCQ, or as though it were an oral exam. Afterwards, I'll try to explain what you should know about the current topic, starting from the basics and working towards more complex ideas. In my tutorials, I would like to place emphasis on terminology and examples, because I believe those are the most important.
In the end, what's important is what you feel is best for you. I aim to tailor my tutoring to your needs, and to help YOU prepare for your exams. So, if you have any ideas, I'm open to discuss and implement them. In my view, you can only enjoy learning if it's done in your way, and I'm trying to create that environment for my tutees. Hope I can help you in becoming just as enthusiastic about learning as I am about teaching!
