Sophia Qiu

Student Mentor

I am a rising junior at the Bronx High School of Science, and based in Flushing, Queens.

I have grand hopes and dream of even grander ambitions. In our unforeseeable future, I aspire to be a great polymath and engineer of the arts and the world.

Special skill: I can play guqin (古琴)!I love learning languages, dancing, oil painting, fashion, buildings, and neuroscience. What I am not fond of are the smell of petroleum, warts, and any kind of jeans. 

I am here to tutor ELA because I believe in the power of literacy and language! Let’s work hard together!

I want to be a mentor because I am concerned about the decline in children’s literacy nowadays, and fear that they will grow up unable to interact with the humanities which are a crucial part of our existence. Literacy enforces critical thinking, a vital skill which can help children grow up to be creative, independent thinkers. I wish to connect children with literature more, too, since a love of reading can take them places, figuratively and literally.
