I am an English Language Coach, in addition to which I specialise in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingual Curricula. I have numerous years experience in EAL, and navigating bilingual curricula .Following several years working both in both the private and international Education sector both in the United Kingdom, Asia, and in Europe. I teach children, young adults and professionals.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YEARS OF SUCH FANTASTIC STUDENTS- HOWEVER UNFORTUNATELY SOME PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEY CAN OVERSTEP THE MARK.Me as a Teacher

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.

I am taking business English lessons, and we are working with specialised learning materials. Sona is precisely addressing my request to improve my fluency and expand my vocabulary. After each lesson, I am left with notes that I can work on independently. I would also like to highlight her excellent sense of humour :)
