My mother is from Venezuela so I grew up speaking Spanish with her. I moved to Puerto Rico when I was 10 and there I attended school, engaged with peers, and participated in after school activities fu... lly in Spanish for a year. In high school I took advanced Spanish classes beginning with Spanish 3 honors, Spanish 4 honors, and Spanish 5 honors, then AP Spanish Language and Culture my senior year where I ended with an A+ and a 5 on the AP exam. My junior year of high school I completed the Seal of Biliteracy exam where I was awarded the Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish with Distinction. Throughout high school I went on 3 service trips to different countries in Latin America where I would facilitate English language instruction to roughly 40 non-English-speaking students and actively engaged children in dynamic, participatory learning experiences.read more

Hi! I'm Sophia I'm originally from Boston but I'm currently attending college at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California! Here at Cal Poly I'm majoring in Anthropology and Geography with a focus in I... nternational Development and Global Studies! I'm involved with different programs on campus like Model UN and the Multicultural Scholars Program! I tutor in Spanish as I'm passionate about sharing and practice my mother's native language. Learning another language is immensely beneficial in numerous ways and I'd love to help students advance their proficiency in Spanish. Aside from tutoring I love being active outside like surfing, hiking, soccer and just spending time with people. I also love every opportunity I get to travel and learn and engage with different people from different cultures!read more
