About Sofía
I am a Lecturer and researcher with a PhD in Human Geography and an MSc in Social Research Methods from the London School of Economics, alongside a BSc in Sociology. I have taught research methods at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Buenos Aires across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
My teaching covers research design, methodology, literature reviews and research ethics. I have supported students through all stages of the research process, from initial design through to dissertation writing, combining expertise in both qualitative and quantitative approaches, including statistics, interviews, ethnographic methods and mixed methods analysis.
As a Lecturer I have designed and marked a wide range of assessment formats at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the UK, including essays, in person and online exams, policy briefings, group presentations, posters and podcasts.
I am very passionate about education and I’m continuously improving my teaching practice. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, have taken several teaching training focused on active learning and experiential teaching and I specialise in guiding students into becoming independent researchers.

My lessons are practical and tailored to your project or course needs. We can work step by step through research design, literature reviews, ethics applications, data collection or analysis, depending on what you need most. I cover both qualitative and quantitative methods, including software training (ask about specific software before scheduling a session).
Sessions are structured, supportive and focused on helping you feel confident doing research, not just understanding it, with clear feedback throughout.
Lessons usually last one hour and are designed according to your level, including A-levels, undergraduate and postgraduate or any adult learners who wish to continue expanding their horizons.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Sofia has great abilities for teaching. She tries to connect the subjects with everyday examples in a way that makes them easier to understand.
I would highly recommend Sofia. She is a competent tutor who will help you build confidence in the subject. I am grateful for her professionalism and positive attitude!
As someone who saw Sofia's teaching firsthand, I would highly recommend her as a tutor. She has a real talent for making complex ideas in the social sciences clear and engaging, while encouraging students to think critically. She adapts her teaching to students' needs and interests rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her sessions are interactive, supportive, and thoughtfully designed, helping students build both confidence and academic skills.
ShrutiI've had the opportunity to see Sofía's teaching firsthand and would highly recommend her as a tutor. She has a real talent for making complex ideas in the social sciences clear and engaging, while encouraging students to think critically and develop their own arguments. What I particularly appreciate is how much she adapts her teaching to students' needs and interests rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her sessions are interactive, supportive, and thoughtfully designed, helping students build both confidence and academic skills.
ShrutiSofi is a phenomenal teacher. I have worked with her in university settings over the last few years. I highly recommend her as an educator: she is both a skilled and compassionate teacher, and her students always excel.
Sofia is a great teacher with lots of experience teaching a diverse range of students. Shes great at breaking down complex topics in accessible and creative ways.
I invited Sofía to give a guest lecture on my MSc course on AI and the social sciences at FLACSO, where she taught a session on technology and work drawing on her own PhD research. It was genuinely one of the strongest guest sessions we had. She has a rare ability to take dense, theoretically demanding material and make it clear and accessible without flattening its complexity, and she grounded the abstract ideas in concrete examples from the real world of work, which is exactly what made it land for the students. On top of that she is a naturally engaging speaker who held the room throughout. None of this surprised me given her track record: she has taught at undergraduate and postgraduate level at QMUL, Royal Holloway and UBA, and has been recognised with teaching awards along the way. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a rigorous, thoughtful and genuinely compelling teacher.
totally recommend Sofia - such a fun yet professional person, amazing teacher, the best at explaining things to students. I worked with her on a course for several years at Queen Mary University of London and you would by very luck to have her as a tutor!
