Zona Sofono

My name is Zona, and I am a PhD student who also teaches at university level. Teaching is something I genuinely enjoy, especially helping students grow in confidence and feel comfortable using English in everyday situations. I understand that learning a language can be intimidating, so my lessons are designed to be supportive, practical, and encouraging.

My teaching approach focuses strongly on communication, speaking, and real-life use of English. I believe students learn best when they feel relaxed and understood, so I create a safe space where mistakes are part of the learning process. Lessons often include guided conversations, vocabulary building, pronunciation practice, and clear explanations of grammar when needed. I adapt the lesson flow based on your level, goals, and how you learn best, whether you are a beginner or an advanced speaker.

I have experience teaching and working with students from diverse backgrounds, which has helped me develop a patient and flexible teaching style. I pay close attention to how students express themselves and gently guide them toward clearer and more confident communication. My lessons are interactive rather than lecture-based, and I encourage students to speak as much as possible.

Whether you want to improve your conversational English, gain confidence for work or studies, or simply feel more comfortable expressing yourself, I am here to support you. My goal is not only to help you improve your English, but also to help you believe in your ability to communicate effectively.
