Hello, I’m Sona, a specialist in Second Language Acquisition, with a strong focus on intercultural communication, advanced grammar, and British English pronunciation.
As a postdoctoral candidate with over a decade of industry experience, I provide expert training in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), tailored Language Coaching for Corporate Clients, and Professional Editing & Proofreading for business documents, including websites and corporate materials.
I do not offer translation services—please refrain from requesting them.
Let’s work together to refine your professional communication and enhance your global business presence.My lessons & teaching style
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.
To enhance the learning experience, I utilise Google Docs for real-time collaboration, incorporate Cambridge level descriptors, and offer comprehensive progress tracking with structured 5-, 7-, and 9-week learning plans. Homework assignments are an integral part of my methodology, typically combining audiovisual components with written tasks to reinforce learning.My teaching material

Sona is a real professional. The lesson is interesting and dynamic. She is always ready to help and answer any questions that arise, including in Russian, if I don't understand something.
