Sofia is a very patient teacher. She tailors lessons to your individual goals and works at an effective pace for learning that pushes you to your potential without making you feel frustrated about things that may take time to grasp. She's a great teacher overall.

I think Sofia is secretly one of the best tutors/instructors you can get on Italki. I've had numerous lessons with many different people, but she is so much fun to learn with. She adapts to your learning level, which really makes listening and understanding an ENJOYABLE task instead of a monstrous challenge. She's incredibly easy to talk with and the lesson time flies by when practicing with her. She's intelligent, knows about many different cultures, and can easily talk with you about a number of different topics. After your initial icebreaker class, she develops activities for you to practice at your level with her, so you really don't even realize you're learning when in class with her because it's so effortless and natural. I generally don't leave italki reviews, and part of me doesn't want to because I don't want to compete for her schedule haha. But she's so fantastic at her craft I simply couldn't help but boast about her. You're in great hands with this teacher
