About Sonja
I'm an environmental biologist with over 15 years of experience teaching at the university level. Recently, I've gained experience tutoring elementary and high school students in English. 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 a 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.

Very articulate & empathetic. She ensures she understands you well & tries to guide you through what your issues are & would be patient with you through it all.
She is very professional in her approach & also listens articulately for feedback. She is very organized & confident in her approach. I recommend her highly.Sonja is a compassionate and caring teacher. In my experience working with her in the nonprofit sector, she has always been a good listener, a kind leader, and supportive. I have no doubt that she would put the same care into her work as a tutor to support your learning goals.
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. In my experience working with her on the Board, she is a caring and compassionate person, who is an incredible listener, is capable of taking complex questions and breaking them into manageable tasks, and is always able to keep her eye firmly on the end-goal. She would be an amazing tutor!
