Students' Testimonials
  • I was fortunate to meet someone like Sonya. Truly fortunate, because she managed to break all my stereotypes about “learning a language - it's not for me, so it doesn't work.” She helped me overcome my self-doubt and get through a period of stagnation.
    Today, I am delighted to study, my level is growing, we are preparing to take the FCE exam, and I laugh at the prejudices I once had. I can say that Sonya is a wonderful exam preparation specialist. We work systematically with each part, addressing all the pitfalls.
    I highly recommend this teacher to you! I express infinite gratitude to Sonya and am not going to part with her, I am going further!

  • For several years now, I have been studying at Advanced English and Exams. I am currently on my third course at this school, and I can confidently say that these are the best online courses I have taken! Our teacher is one of the most competent and responsive instructors I have ever had! She meticulously prepared each lesson, selected materials, and structured them in a way that allowed us to practice the language as much as possible. I especially liked that we practised the material we had learned in the format of exam tasks, which gave us an idea of what exactly is being tested in the exam. I was very pleased with the course planning and the amount of homework. I felt comfortable working independently on the materials for a week and then practising them in a group session.

  • I really liked the description of the study programs; it seemed like the learning would be effective. There are plenty of speaking lessons, expanding vocabulary, and we covered complex grammar topics in which I have become much better at understanding and using in speech.
    Thank you very much! You are a great teacher, and we are so lucky to have you!

  • I would also like to thank our teacher. She is a very sensitive and attentive person. Sonya could always explain the difference between very similar lexical units, help choose the right word, and explain everything related to grammar. Our interaction with the girls during the discussions did not go unnoticed: we were carefully guided and given valuable advice on conducting discourse.
