About Sophie
Hello! My name is Sophie and I run SxT Acadex: offering scientific tutoring services in person in the tri-cities within Vancouver and online. I tutor at local libraries in person however alternative arrangements can always be arranged (eg. meeting up at a nearby coffee shop instead if this is more convenient for you). Online sessions are done via Google Meet + a whiteboarding software I use.
I hold a MSc in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from SFU and have 8 years of teaching and tutoring experience.
During my senior high school years, I discovered a passion for teaching through taking a Leadership course where a teacher took me under her wing and I assisted with teaching her junior science courses. I absolutely loved it!
As I went onto my undergraduate years, I still had a yearning to teach, so I worked as a Teaching Assistant (TA) as much as possible within the Faculty of Science. After I graduated with my BSc, I worked for some time in the biotech field, and eventually returned to do my Master's. During my grad studies, I also ran a YouTube channel where I posted science education videos on key gatekeeper / challenging topics for students at the undergrad/grad levels. You can check out my channel and my teaching methodology here: (concealed information)
Upon completion, I did some more work in biotech and pharma, while also tutoring on the side. Finally I decided to take a big lead and really advertise my tutoring services and I'm so glad I did! I love seeing my students light up when they finally understand a topic they've been struggling with.

REAL TESTIMONIALS: I run a YouTube science education channel, where I create videos specifically on challenging/gatekeeper scientific topics. If you want to see an example of how I teach and breakdown hard-to-understand topics, see my YouTube channel here and read the comments from students and the positive impact I have on their learning: (concealed information)
PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH: In addition to my experience, I have also completed pedagogical research on effective scientific teaching and learning with the Institute of Teaching and Learning at SFU, in tandem with two faculty professors. I consistently score above 90% on semesterly TA evaluations as well, showing the effectiveness of my teaching and coaching.
️ COMPASSION / EMPATHY - I have volunteered as a Career Peer Advisor previously and also as a Crisis Responder for Canada's Crisis Text Line, and provided Career Coaching to several clients. By nature, I am a very compassionate and empathetic person. You will never be made to feel embarrassed or ashamed for not understanding course material. I will work to ensure you gain confidence and feel empowered in your studies and courses.
