I am half way through my Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree and I can proudly attest to often utilizing the skills I gained in working with Sonia over the years. Sonia came into my life during high school . Her methods worked naturally as she ever so clearly and patiently explained the steps to problem solving whilst exuding such positivity and compassion. Sonia is dedicated to the success of her students and she is truly an all-encompassing, wonderful human being. I called on her most recently for guidance in achieving the necessary scores on the GRE for entrance into my graduate program. Years later, she remains thorough and insightful as she assisted in tackling my test-taking anxieties with her strategies and organized approach. Suffice it to say that I would most definitely not be where I am today if not for Sonia.
Sonia, your guidance and constant support means more than words can express. I am beyond grateful that you came into my life. You are a treasure and I would recommend your services for any struggling student like I once was, or anyone who might be looking to boost their academic potential.
I am forever thankful for you.
My son worked with Dr. Bauer to prepare for the SAT. She taught David in a very methodical way which allowed him to learn vital strategies and techniques that he could apply during the SAT. Dr. Bauer is very patient and was very attentive to my son's individual needs. He even contacted her after the SAT so he could get extra help on his AP physics exam as well. My son was accepted into an accelerated BS/MD program. If you are looking for someone to strengthen your child's math skills and see real results I highly recommend Dr. Bauer.
I was relieved to find her— Sonia was patient, compassionate, clear, and incredibly insightful in finding exactly why and how I was misunderstanding concepts— and she was remarkably effective in correcting me without making me feel discouraged. My friend and I ended up being the only ones in our class to get A’s as our final grades for the class.
My friend told me Sonia was “the best” and I can’t agree more! I highly recommend Dr. Bauer for anyone who is looking for competent, compassionate help for their children!

I had never had an online tutor and I was unsure how easy the communication would be. But after our first meeting, my fears were put to rest. I would highly recommend her, and I am so thankful someone recommended her to me!
I remember being terribly stressed about a quiz that counted towards a significant portion of my overall grade but Ms. Sonia was able to help me earn one of my first A's in my physics class. Also, I was beyond terrified to utterly fail [the lab practicals] because of what past years students had said but Sonia gave me the pointers and confidence I needed to do well on them. I thank her for all of her patience and her willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that I got the grade I needed and wanted.
Before tutoring with Sonia I was confused with the subject material and particularly anxious. Sonia quickly put me at ease with her clear and thorough teaching methods and her warm and compassionate demeanor. Sonia is an extremely thoughtful and dedicated tutor. Thank you so much for all of your help, Sonia! I could not have had this success (A- in statistics) without you!
[Sonia] was a dream come true for someone who was very close to failing Junior year math - I had a 33% in Pre-Calc. I was able to get my grades from 13%’s to 100%’s on every quiz and test, ending the semester with a B+. Sonia was the perfect tutor for me, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

Experiencing that first [Physics tutoring] session with Sonia was like lifting a 400 Ib. gorilla off my back. She had the answer to every one of my questions; balancing broad explanations with detailed precision. All with a trademarked, welcoming disposition.

Dr. Bauer is really an amazing tutor. She goes above and beyond when it comes to making sure that her students understand the material well and are comfortable and excited about learning it. She turned a subject (physics) I never thought I would want to learn into something I looked forward to every week. She is SO kind and patient. I really could not have possibly asked for a better tutor! :)

Dr. Bauer is an extremely kind, generous, and intelligent person. She explains difficult topics in very much detail in a comfortable, easier perspective for the student. Dr. Bauer goes the extra mile if you ever have a doubt and does not hesitate to explain until you fully understand the topic. She was my rock during my undergraduate and graduate studies and I am delighted to have met such a fantastic person who always encouraged me to pursue my education and challenging classes.
Thank you so SO much for all your wisdom, patience, and sweetness. Even when things seemed bleak you encouraged and buoyed me up with you calm, understanding and supportive way. My time here has been greatly enriched by your presence. Much love and much thanks.
After a few sessions with Dr. Bauer, my understanding of the material skyrocketed. Despite sometimes feeling discouraged that I just couldn't understand the material, Dr. Bauer remained patient and persisted until I finally grasped the concepts. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with precalculus or calculus like I did.
