About Me

After finishing my Bachelor’s degree as an English teacher in Russia, I decided to travel the world to immerse myself in real-life language practice and further develop my English skills. For the past 4 years, I’ve been traveling across Europe, living in Amsterdam, several cities in Belgium, and now in Italy, where I’m currently learning Italian.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in teaching English as a Foreign Language from Russia, where I built a strong foundation in language education. To further enhance my qualifications, I completed the 168-hour Level 5 TEFL Academy course, gaining advanced skills in teaching English to non-native speakers. Additionally, I achieved a 7.5 score on the IELTS Academic exam.
Over the past 5 years, I worked as a private tutor for multilingual learners. My diverse experience enables me to adapt to different learners’ needs and create engaging, personalized lessons.
Learning English can open doors to so many opportunities, and I’m here to help you achieve your goals! Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, ace an exam, or boost your confidence in speaking, I’ll guide you every step of the way.My teaching material

I wasn't sure what to expect and how I would react because I am a shy person, but I couldn't be happier of how the lesson went. Sofie is a great teacher and her personality really calmed me down especially at the beginning and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Sofie!

I truly have no words to express what a wonderful teacher Sofie is. In such a short time, she helped me gain confidence in English and noticeably improve my listening and speaking skills. I’m certain that in the months ahead, I’ll continue to grow even more with her guidance. I highly recommend her—her kindness, dedication, and genuine passion for teaching make every lesson special.
