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. 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.
My teaching approach integrates in-depth phonological, phonetic, orthographic, and syntactic instruction, tailored to support learners at various stages of language acquisition. I create my own resources and work closely with students to ensure steady progress.
Me as a Teacher
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 focus on creating a supportive and interactive environment where you feel comfortable participating and making progress. I combine a variety of teaching methods to keep lessons engaging and relevant.
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.

Sona is an amazing teacher! She’s kind, patient, and always explains things clearly. We work on grammar, do exercises and homework, and practice speaking in every lesson. I’ve really improved thanks to her.

Sona always listens with interest and gives feedback. She also suggests alternative words. I am very happy with the way she teaches. She is very pleasant to talk to. I have learnt a lot from her and look forward to more lessons with her.

Sona is an excellent teacher who is perfect for students serious about improving their conversational English. She tailors her lessons to her students' levels and interests, creating a relaxed atmosphere in which they can speak freely. Her lessons are enjoyable and informative. She identifies common mistakes and teaches related expressions through natural conversations.
