I am a dedicated online language specialist with over a decade of experience in international education, teaching English as an additional language (EAL) across diverse cultural contexts. Formally, I have a degree in English and a Master's in Education, with a PGCE in International Education. With a strong foundation in plurilingual curricula and a global mindset, I design and deliver student-centered lessons that emphasize functional language use and academic success, particularly within the IB framework. As your English teacher, my approach is all about making learning enjoyable, effective, and personalised. I believe that each student learns in their own unique way, so I tailor my lessons to suit your individual needs, interests, and learning pace.

I combine a variety of teaching methods to keep lessons engaging and relevant. My teaching approach is student-centered yet structured and guided. I provide an initial learning trajectory, which remains flexible and adaptive to individual needs. I work closely with learners across all proficiency levels, leveraging their strengths while scaffolding their language development to ensure steady progress.

Sona is an amazing teacher! She provides invaluable feedback and creates a supportive space for practicing real-world English. I loved how she tailored the lessons to my specific needs, especially focusing on pronunciation and speaking flow. I now feel much more confident and prepared thanks to her practical advice. If you're looking for the best guide to improve your English, I highly recommend her!"

The lessons were very useful and well-structured. We practised english conjunctions with clear examples and exercises. The teacher explained the grammar in a simple way and helped me understand how to use these phrases in real sentences
