Her students and their families have become her friends and family. Her work has extended to leisurely activities such as enjoying holidays, birthdays, school plays, 5ks, helping to move students into their college dorms and even enjoying Europe graduation trips with her students. Sophie’s deep relationships with her students allows her to teach and mold positive learning behaviors in a manner which is child-center, individualized, fun-focused and long-lasting. Collaborating with family members and her own team, she is adept at maximizing the strengths of her students to best enrich their minds and souls.

She is excited to bring together this team of educators, therapists, coaches and care-providers and to work side-by-side with these professionals who are motivated to improve young lives through facilitating educational and enrichment opportunities.
