About Sophia

Hi, I'm Sophia!

Teaching has always been more than a job to me, it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. I love helping children discover that they are capable learners and watching their confidence grow as they achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.

I completed a Bachelor of Primary Education and a Bachelor of Special Education, and I currently work full-time as an intervention teacher in a private (P-12) school. Every day, I support students with a range of learning needs in literacy and numeracy, using evidence-based strategies to help them make meaningful progress.

One of the things I enjoy most about tutoring is being able to tailor every lesson to the individual child. No two students learn the same way, so I take the time to understand their strengths, identify any learning gaps, and adapt my teaching to suit their needs. My goal is to create a calm, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and celebrating their progress.

I believe learning should be engaging, positive, and achievable. Whether a student needs extra support, wants to build confidence, or is looking for additional challenge, I aim to make every session enjoyable while helping them develop skills that will benefit them long after our lessons together.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy creating educational resources, keeping up to date with the latest research in education, and continually developing my own practice so I can provide the best possible support for every student I work with.

About the lesson

Hello! I'm a qualified primary and special education teacher with a Bachelor of Primary Education and a Bachelor of Special Education. I currently work full-time as an intervention teacher in a private (P-12) school, supporting primary students who require additional assistance in literacy and numeracy.

Every day, I teach evidence-based intervention programs, including structured literacy and mathematics support, helping students build confidence while making meaningful progress in their learning. I have experience working with students across a wide range of abilities, including those who are performing below year level, require extension, or have diverse learning needs such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia and learning difficulties.

My tutoring sessions are personalized to each student's goals and learning style. I believe every child can succeed when they are taught in a way that makes sense to them. I create engaging, supportive lessons that develop confidence alongside academic skills, ensuring students leave each session feeling successful.

I can provide support in:

* Primary Mathematics (Prep–Year 6)
* Reading and comprehension
* Phonics and structured literacy
* Spelling and writing
* Homework support
* NAPLAN preparation
* Learning intervention for students requiring additional support
* Students with diverse learning needs

Parents can expect regular communication about their child's progress, targeted lessons based on individual needs, and practical strategies that can also be used at home.

Session lengths are tailored to each student's individual learning needs and goals. I also recognize that students learn best when they are engaged and not mentally fatigued after a full day at school. For this reason, most tutoring sessions range from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, with longer sessions including a short break to help students remain focused, motivated, and able to retain new learning.

Whether your child needs extra support to catch up, wants to build confidence, or is looking to extend their learning, I'd love to help them reach their potential.

I honestly cannot recommend Sophia highly enough. When I first reached out to her, I was a second-year pre-service teacher who had failed the LANTITE and was feeling completely overwhelmed. My confidence was at an all-time low, and I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to pass the exam.

From our very first session, Sophia made everything feel manageable. She has an incredible way of explaining difficult concepts in a clear, patient, and encouraging way that actually makes them stick. She never made me feel embarrassed for asking questions and always adapted her teaching to suit the areas I was struggling with most. Thanks to her support, I finally passed my LANTITE, something I genuinely didn't think was possible before working with her.

Even after passing, I have continued seeing Sophia because her support extends far beyond LANTITE preparation. She has been invaluable in helping me improve my academic writing, teaching me how to structure assignments effectively and helping me break large university assessments into smaller, achievable tasks. Instead of feeling paralysed by a 2,000-word assignment, I now have a clear plan for tackling each section, which has made university so much less overwhelming.

Sophia is knowledgeable, approachable, professional, and genuinely invested in seeing her students succeed. She celebrates your wins, supports you through the challenges, and gives you the confidence to believe in your own abilities. If you're looking for someone to help you with LANTITE, academic writing, or simply navigating the demands of university, I couldn't recommend Sophia more highly. She has made such a positive difference to my studies and my confidence as a future teacher.
