Sonia K
Sonia has helped one of our ESOL students finally achieve their Functional Skills Level 2 English, after many attempts and months of stress. Sonia was kind, patient, and took the time to teach her the underlying English skills, such as grammar, rather than just teaching to pass an exam. Thank you, Sonia!
