In last years she developed more and more a passion for teaching. For any ages and on any levels, from bloody beginners to master students and has been all over the country teaching her technique method called RAFT for turns - '''R'''ectangle (shoulder-shoulder-hip-hip-), '''A'''rch (highest evaluation when on arch), '''F'''ocus (of own eyes) and '''T'''ight (keep tight with rectangle, arch and focus on body when moving).<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfQd1mH99F/?hl=en Sophia IG RAFT]</ref> She posted a lot of her private lessons with kids on her Instagram account. She is really good with kids and asked them the most important question: ''"Where is your confidence?"''

The kids don't realize, the show was following a script and it has nothing to do how she is actually like. Inoffically she hated competing, she said she disliked the competive atmosphere and the pressure that was put on her to be perfect. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbgVjuXQcuU Sophia Lucia Facts That 99% of People Don't Know]</ref> When Soph was somewhere between 5-10 years old she used to cry after every performance. She said she was scared laughing at and her misakes being recorded for everyone to see. Sophia had thrown away all her awards and trophies, except the Guiness World record plague and her Varna award. Yup! The "Dust Catcher Crisis" has everyone who was a long time very competitive about these useless, space stealing stuff just for ego reasons.
