Sofia

Hi my name is Sofia I’m from the Wirral and currently studying dentistry in Leeds. I am 20 years old and understand how difficult school and sixth form can be, I aim to help studies like my self to make learning easy. I had tutors myself growing up and found some can regurgitate information without helping the students understand in their own terms, something I successfully avoid. I like to swim, play tennis and most importantly have a fun social life along side my difficult studies! My main personal passion is history, that I am very fond of. I’ve had many achievements but had to work very hard to get there, having applied for dentistry twice and taking a gap year in the process I’ve learnt how to manage applications well and stand out at interviews! I have worked for a year in customer service for NS&I, dealing with difficult and unexpected situations with financial worries and bereavements has taught me how to deal effectively in hard moments and enhanced my listening skills and empathetic nature. These are invaluable skills I’ve gained as with education, exam seasons can be very stressful and frustrating with student’s potentially loosing their motivation to study. Studying should be seen as a fun way to learn more and emphasis our brains power, something I’d love to help students develop in their academic journeys.
