SophieTeacher

Sophie has helped me to improve my English through her discussion lessons for over a year after I moved to work in an English-speaking country. She has a very wise balance between correcting your mistakes and letting you speak so you become more fluent and gain self-confidence. She is friendly and professional at the same time. Her discussion topics and questions make you think more critically and express simple and complex ideas. She has a good mix of topics that range from serious to more relaxed, and you get to choose from those. She is great if you want to take a few or many classes, as she will always find new stuff to discuss.

Studying literature with Sophie is such an absolutely fantastic experience for me. She treats me as if I were an intellectual being, asking critical questions about the text and encouraging me to think deeply beyond what is written. Thought-provoking indeed! I have always loved to read and took some literature courses at uni but did not do well. Never have I met such a remarkable teacher who pays close attention to pushing me as far as I can go like her before. Highly recommended! And don’t forget to read the text before class to get the most out of the discussion!

Many, many thanks, dear Sophie for your always support, help, and time :) I'm very grateful for all your suggestions, and explanations in my letter for the University. I cannot thank you enough for everything, but even more importantly your friendship :) It means so much to me and I really appreciate it :) I'm looking forward to seeing and meeting you soon, maybe in Italy :)

I have improved my confidence communicating in English. She offers topics from economics/science/politics, all with outstanding depth. She asks for your opinion on complex issues and listens respectfully. These lessons have also broadened my perspective on the world.

Literature classes with Sophie, always with gentle and respectful attitude, are just delightful. All the important questions are asked and answered. Reading at my comfortable pace with Sophie's guidance is a pleasure.

Very nice and inspiring .
