Jing W. says, "I learned about Sophie from a friend referral. She has a great perceptive of seeing my son's needs and meeting where he is at. My son has ADHA. She has been working with him once a week on his middle school math assignments and helping him prepare for assessments. She uses creative kinesthetic learning activities to keep my son stay engaged. He always seems to enjoy his sessions because they not only talk about math but also various trendy topics that my son finds interesting. His teacher at school reported that he started participating more in class. I highly recommend Sophie as a tutor. Her dedication to student learning is very much appreciated." Read more

Having taught mathematics for 20+ years at overseas school I’ve returned to the US to be closer to family. While teaching at both competitive and inclusion schools I gained experience teaching mathematics to all types of students from grades 6 to 12. My main expertise is with the International Baccalaureate but for the past 5 years I have tutored students in other curriculum. My passion is helping students strengthen their math abilities by determining where their ‘gaps’ are, solidifying their mathematics base knowledge or skills, and then building their understanding upon this foundation.

Many people are good at Statistics,Probability, and coding but few are good at teaching it. You may be experiencing that in a class right now - the teacher knows a lot about the subject, but isn't skilled at conveying that knowledge to you. I pride my self on working hard to empathesize with you, the student, and the challenges and struggles you are having at mastering the materials.I work hard to understand where you are now, where you want to get to, and then I use my experience with dozens of other students to map out a study plan to get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Sophie has been tutoring my 10 year old daughter math. My daughter was having a hard time paying attention and retaining what she learned in the classroom. Sophie is an observant teacher and very knowledgeable in math. She is personable and my daughter enjoys working with her. Sophie ties her school curriculum with her interest and makes the lessons fun and relatable. I also liked that she has developed her own Canvas content to incorporate in her lessons, which has greatly helped my kid with her testing preparation. With Sophie's help and encouragement, my daughter is gaining confidence in math and in the classroom!

Mr. Ghassemi is a very great tutor. In fact, I would say that he is better than my teacher at school. The main reason behind this is because he goes in depth with the lessons and gives numerous practice problems, both MCQ and FRQ for me [student] to understand. He also gives detailed solutions to each one and works with the student had they got it wrong or simply do not understand. When a student simply does not understand, he is extremely patient and listens to their ideas and provides an explanation if their ideas are correct, if they are wrong he makes sure to delve deeper into the concepts that are required for the optimal understanding of that problem. He also makes sure you understand the concptual reasoning behind each question. Mr. Ghassemi is definitely highly qualified in both Maths and Physics. He spends a lot of time on his own apart from the one on one student session to work each problem out before hand and sometimes even provides multiple approaches or solutions regarding how to solve the questions. He helps with both preparing for the AP Exams as well as preparing for unit tests and homework given by the school. I would definitely recommend Mr. Ghassemi to anyone requiring a high quality tutor that gives high quality services!

Chidubem has been tutoring my daughter since February this year, and she has been more than amazing. She helped us with Algebra, Biology, and SAT prep tutoring, and my daughter has been getting much higher scores and feeling way more comfortable with school since we started with her. She got an A in both classes (she had struggled with getting A's in Math before) and a 1410 on her SAT (up from 1250 in her PSAT!!). We had a tutor before Chidubem, but unfortunately, they were not able to form the relationship Chidubem had created with her. I am honestly so insanely grateful for Chidubem; she has made my daughter much more interested in school and studying in general and she is just amazing. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!
