Sophia has been my son's tutor and truly one of his best friends for the past six years. She has changed his life, turning him into an avid reader and inspiring him to have a love of learning. She doesn't just teach, she has a remarkable way of befriending youth. My son started working with Sophia in kindergarten and he is now entering middle school. It's amazing that she has been a positive role model for him for most of his life. We're always so impressed by her intelligence and kindness.
