About Sofia
Adobe Certified Expert | BA | MSc
Multidisciplinary Digital Artist & Educator
I have over 13 years of working experience in Design, Photography, Virtual Production and Media, allowing me to maintain a wide variety of skills that assist in supporting students and professionals involved in the Creative industries. Currently, I'm doing freelance work, tutoring, researching, and teaching MSc Design at the University of Edinburgh.
Since I started teaching in 2013, I have taught other educators, art directors, creative professionals but also students of all ages (5 to 75!) and abilities, including individuals with learning and behavioural difficulties. Moreover, I have delivered bespoke training for design teams in companies such as Warner Bros. Discovery, BBC, SKY, WWF, NHS, ILGA, Roche, The National Gallery and several Universities and Colleges.
Since 2015 I've continuously been one of the very few Adobe Certified Instructors and Experts. Because of my comprehensive knowledge of Adobe techniques and digital media theory, I received a series of certifications from Adobe, such as Educator Specialist in Visual and Video Design, Digital Imaging and Digital Creativity Expert for classrooms, Expert in Digital Media and Creativity Training and Adobe Education Trainer, accrediting me to train other educators.
I have achieved an MSc in Design and Digital Media (with distinction) from the University of Edinburgh, where I chose to work with 3D, Motion Graphics, VFX, UI/UX, Video Game Design and AR/VR. I specialised in VR experiences made with Unreal Engine and particle systems.
I have also achieved a 1:1 BA (Hons) focused on Photography and Audiovisual Arts, where I had the opportunity to experiment with different forms of visual and digital art whilst specialising in Architecture Photography and Image Editing. Moreover, I hold a Digital Photography certificate from the University of Harvard.
My latest experience is focused on delivering lessons and lectures in Design and Digital Media as well as my freelance projects.
Above all, I have successfully employed a motivational approach when teaching and found that this led to many positive student outcomes, such as developing their creative thinking. A key part of my career is helping students reach their full potential, which I work towards by focusing on creative and critical thinking when teaching.

Perfect! Learnt more than I had expected and enjoyed the lesson
Perfect! Sofia is awesome! On top of being very friendly and polite, she is very knowledgable and makes sure I retain each of the skills she is teaching before moving on to the next one. Definitely recommend!
Perfect! Sofia's lesson was a fantastic introduction to a new software - she was really clear, patient and made sure to explain the fundamentals in a way that gave me tools to continue working on my own.
Perfect! Sofia, is professional, reliable and knowledgable. She wants to see students succeed and is so patient when teaching the material. She is compassionate about the work she does, and she will explain things in a variety of ways until you understand. I am so thankful for Sofia and the time and effort she puts in to tutoring. Sofia is honest, and will tell you exactly what you need to do to succeed. Thank you Sofia for the best experience I have ever had with a tutor !
- Sofia's response :Gabriella is such a great student and person, really glad we got to work together!
Perfect! Sofia is an amazing tutor. She is very patient, thorough and skilled. She brought me to an advanced level of understanding within a very short space of time, and has greatly inspired me to achieve outstanding art with her passion and enthusiasm. I was pleasantly surprised by her teaching methods, as I suddenly understood concepts that I could never quite grasp. By teaching me the basics, from resolution to colour profiles to basic Photoshop features such as Layer Masks and Smart Objects and Filters, I finally felt that I was capable of becoming an accomplished visual artist. I have been inspired to learn as much as I can in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, and I feel that this is now possible thanks to Sofia.
I can now read articles and books and watch tutorial videos and follow them with ease, as I understand the underlying concepts and have a firm foundational grounding. I heartily recommend Sofia as a tutor.- Sofia's response :It was really a pleasure working with Obai!
Perfect! In the words of my son ‘she’s nice, smart and relatable’
Perfect! Sofia has superb technical knowledge, all the settings, commands and any kind of spec you need to know! This has been a game changer for me. She knows all the software inside out and when I approached her with very specific questions, she was able to give several options/answers on how to execute things. Sofia has been super helpful in every way! Very approachable and kind. Also, I love the fact that she's a really well rounded creative, a photographer and a pro create lover and many other things! It's been so great to have feedback and help with very specific questions. I will definitely book more sessions as new projects come in. Thank you very much Sofia!
- Sofia's response :It has been very great working with Sasha, always friendly and excited to learn new things!
Perfect! Subject expert...
Sofias remote sessions assisted my son over a number of months to develop his skills on Adobe Creative Suite tools to support his A-Level Media Studies course. The specialist insights Sofia provided to him on Adobe software will be particularly important as he finishes his A-Levels then beyond in university and career.
Sofia has a friendly style and accommodated new calendar requests, even providing lessons later to align with school commitments. We were glad to have had her availability for longer than we had initially envisioned - so very much appreciated the flexibility throughout.
Subject : Adobe Premiere Pro
Outcome : Better capability with A-Level projectsPerfect! Sofia is very knowledgable in her field. She is very encouraging and good at what she does. She offers appropriate advice and gives you different options that will suit your situation and requirements. She is very personable also and I felt comfortable to share any concerns, ideas or questions I had.
- Sofia's response :Krista is a delight to teach and talk to!
Perfect! Highly recommend Sofia
I am a Media and Communications student. I have been struggling with creative projects and written work since the very beginning but Sofia is very thorough and made my life easier immediately. Sofia is very passionate, helpful, honest and very knowledgeable while you can feel that she really cares about her students. Sofia didn’t only help me with the academic projects but she offered her Adobe expertise in helping me achieve high standards of work. Sofia is my long-term tutor and I would like to continue learning from her until I have a range of high-level design skills. The quality of her online sessions is also great. I would definitely recommend Sofia!

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I attended the Advanced Photoshop training which was excellent, Sofia was very intuitive to my needs and also adjusted the course to my needs. I would highly recommend Sofia as an instructor with comprehensive knowledge of the Adobe software.
As a complete beginner, Sofia took me from never having opened illustrator to having a huge range of new skills, with unending patience. Hugely recommend! Sofia was very knowledgeable about how to apply the skills she taught in moving through a career using Graphic Design/Photography and Visual Media in general.
During October 2017 I enrolled in Photography, Desktop Publishing and Networking for Creatives courses hosted by Streetvibes on which Sofia was my tutor.
In addition to the skills that she helped me develop, Sofia is the most wonderful mentor and person, more than willing and able to give help, support and offer advice on work and life issues.
I can't thank her enough for how she has helped me grow in confidence and understanding.View more recommendations
