Hello! I’m Sonia — a native English speaker from the United States and an English communication coach for professionals and motivated learners. Drawing on my background in journalism and editing, I help students sound more natural and self-assured in English. During our sessions, I provide supportive guidance, gentle real-time corrections, and help you build vocabulary and grammar that fit your real-life communication needs. My sessions are engaging, supportive, and tailored specifically to your goals.

I hold a BA in Journalism and an MBA, and I bring over 22 years of experience in journalism, copy editing, business, and professional communication. My background has given me a deep understanding of how clear communication works in real-world settings.

While attending university, I served as a conversation partner for international students learning English as a second language, helping them practice speaking and improve their confidence in everyday communication. Today I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching focused on fluency, natural pronunciation, and practical communication skills for work, travel, and everyday life.

In my professional career as an editor, I have coached coworkers and interns on how to write more clearly, communicate effectively, and present ideas with confidence.

Many people studying English already know grammar and vocabulary but still feel hesitant when speaking in conversations. My goal is to help you think in English, speak clearly, and communicate with confidence in everyday conversations as well as professional situations such as meetings and interviews.

My lessons are conversation-focused, supportive, and practical. Instead of memorizing rules, we practice real situations so you can speak more naturally and confidently.

In our lessons we can focus on:

• Conversational English
• American pronunciation
• Workplace communication
• Job interview preparation
• Meetings and presentations
• Clear, professional writing
