About Sonja
I'm an environmental biologist with over 15 years of experience teaching at the university level. I have honed my teaching skills with lots of professional development (building a repertoire of the most effective techniques for sustained learning). I love working one-on-one with students because I can use tailored techniques to address individual learning styles.

My experience has proven to me that experiential and inquiry-based learning are highly effective teaching methods. Interactive learning is the best way to engage students of all ages, and providing students with the safe space to engage is vital to taking comprehension to the next level.
My teaching method is full of active learning. I like to base learning on the interests of the students I work with. A typical class includes 1) discussion of the student's history and experience with the subject matter, 2) review of the specific materials that the student is currently having difficulty with, 3) working through exercises and writing assignments together and 4) setting goals for what the student hopes to achieve from the lessons.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Sonja is fantastic! We feel very fortunate to have found someone so capable and reliable. Sonja has demonstrated the skills, compassion, and patience needed to understand and adapt to our child’s unique strengths and learning needs and to help them build their competence and confidence in math. Our child has an IEP for math and was previously assessed as being behind a grade in this subject. After almost a year of working with Sonja, our child’s school teacher is looking at moving them from a modified curriculum to accommodations for math. This is a real sign of progress. We highly recommend Sonja!

She is very professional in her approach & also listens articulately for feedback. She is very organized & confident in her approach.

Sonja and I worked together as members of a Board of Directors for a charitable organization. Sonja was the chair of the board during this time.
