About Me

Hello, my name is Sona Baseian, and I am a professional English Language Coach. Whether you’re looking to improve your speaking, writing, reading, or listening skills, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. As a generalist English teacher, I cover all aspects of the language, tailoring lessons to suit your individual needs and goals.
My approach is dynamic, interactive, and student-centered. I believe in creating a comfortable learning environment where you feel encouraged to ask questions, practice freely, and make mistakes along the way — because that’s how learning happens!
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to perfect your English, I will work with you to build your confidenceMe as a Teacher
As your English teacher, my approach is all about making learning enjoyable, effective, and personalized. 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.My teaching material
