“The 1 on 1 lessons are a real highlight. Dr. Sophia has some kind of magical eye, that she can notice the tiniest hand, wrist or shoulder movements even through the web-camera(!). She has an amazing diagnostic ability to find the source of your problem. She does not give up until you "get it", as she is very confident of her methods. And once you do get the correct motion, it is very satisfying and encouraging experience.” - a composer and violinist

“To transform any player's technique in a matter of days and weeks needs an extraordinary teacher like Sophia. She has a unique ability to diagnose issues and figure out ways to fix them quickly. Combined with this ability, her patience and strong desire to help her students achieve the very best results and become great string players is what distinguishes her from other teachers.” - Venkat, violinist
