Sophie Isbell

Sophie (she/her) is a recent graduate of Pace University where she received her BFA in Acting, BA in Women’s and Gender Studies, and Masters of Public Administration. For the last five years she’s tutored students as they wrote 8th grade biology reports, screenplays, PhD dissertations, and everything in between. In addition to her private tutoring, she worked as a tutor at the Pace University Writing Center and was promoted to Assistant Coordinator where she planned all writing workshops, trained new tutors, and oversaw students’ writing progress. She has a deep love for the writing process and helping people learn how to create and tell their own stories. She loves facilitating people’s writing development and supporting them to be more confident as they approach their writing. There is not a style of writing she isn’t adept in, thanks to her experience tutoring students from every major as well as writing and defending two academic theses of her own, and if you can’t tell, Sophie really loves writing! 

Sophie also works with acting students across the country directing and coaching them on monologues and scenes for pre-screens and auditions. She has in-depth training in several acting theories, including Meisner, the Alexander technique, Stanislavski, Classical, and more. She’s done extensive work with Shakespeare, Chekhov, and multiple Jacobian works, and is well versed in heightened language analysis. There isn’t a facet of acting Sophie doesn’t adore and she’s on a journey to explore everything in this wonderful field. 

Currently, Sophie is pursuing Film and TV, VoiceOver, and Theatre acting, and she recently booked her first national VoiceOver commercial for Google which she is super jazzed about! She commutes between Brooklyn and D.C. with her cat Milo, a gorgeous, buff, very fluffy, Maine Coon kitty. Her days are spent auditioning, editing her first academic journal, making pottery, developing film ideas with her writing partner, and playing with Milo. Her multiple, differing areas of study at Pace gives her a unique insight into the college application process for Performing Arts and Liberal Arts schools. She’s confident she can support anyone in being their best writing/acting/joyous self!
