“Sophia is a patient and nurturing violin teacher. She is always well prepared for each lesson. She taught my son Caleb how to move his fingers faster, which helped him improve a lot. Caleb is blessed to have her as his first violin teacher!”

My daughter started taking lessons in 2013 when she was ten-years old. I chose Sophia because of her high educational background and most importantly excellent teaching skills. I have admired her patience when she is working with students. She never raises her voice, never gives up on any student and always praises their every single accomplishment, be it small or big. The bi-annual recitals for all her students are wonderful and fun for every parent to witness. When Sophia takes the stage after all her students and plays a solo to end the recital, it is motivating to students to see their teacher play!

“Sophia has been working with our daughter on improving her skills with the violin since 2015 and my wife and I could not be more pleased with the results. Mandy's confidence has grown immeasurably and she has maintained interest in the instrument, as well as continued to improve incrementally every few months. Sophia's patience with our daughter and empathetic approach has resulted in sustained interest and enthusiasm and we could not be more pleased. I would highly recommend her to any parent desirous of supplementing their child's learning of the violin and am confident that the investment in the relationship will be a rewarding growth experience.”

“It was such an amazing experience learning to play the violin from Sophia. She was always so patient and kind to me. She taught me persistence, discipline, responsibility, as well as confidence, which are not only important in learning the violin but in life. Although I no longer take lessons from Sophia, she referred me to violin teachers at my university so that I may continue learning. I am so blessed and lucky to have had her as a teacher. I highly recommend Sophia as a violin teacher!”
