About Soren
I hold a degree in Education and have spent the last 3 to 6 years teaching English to adult and professional learners, both online and in person.
Teaching isn't a side activity for me — it's my main expertise, which means every lesson is built on a genuine, focused understanding of how adults actually acquire fluency, not borrowed from a textbook or improvised on the fly.
Over the years, I've worked specifically with professionals who need English for real-world performance: meetings, presentations, interviews, and client communication. I bring the same level of preparation and seriousness to every session that I'd expect from any professional service — sessions start on time, lessons are planned around your specific goals, and progress is something we track together, not something left to chance.
You can expect clear communication, punctuality, and a structured approach from our very first lesson. My goal is simple: that you leave every session more confident, more fluent, and closer to using English the way your career actually requires.

My approach is built on one simple belief: you don't get fluent by studying English, you get fluent by using it. Most adult learners I work with already know more grammar than they think — what's missing is the confidence and reflex to use it in real time, under real pressure: in a meeting, on a call, in an interview, presenting to a room. So my lessons are speaking-first. I keep theory and grammar explanations short and targeted — just enough to fix a specific problem — and spend the majority of class time on active speaking practice: real conversations, role-plays of actual work situations, and structured discussion on topics relevant to the student's field. I correct in the moment, but I don't interrupt fluency to chase every small error — I track patterns and address them in short, focused feedback so the conversation keeps moving. I also use authentic materials rather than generic textbook dialogues: industry news, real emails, presentation slides, or transcripts that students bring to me from their own work. The goal is always the same — to close the gap between "knowing" English and "performing" in English. A typical lesson plan. A standard 60-minute session usually looks like this:
Warm-up (5–10 min): Free conversation to assess energy, recall vocabulary from the last session, and ease into speaking mode.
Focus block (15–20 min): A specific business skill — leading a meeting, negotiating, giving feedback, writing a concise email — introduced through a short example or model phrase set, not a lecture.
Applied practice (20–25 min): Role-play or simulation directly tied to the student's real work context (their industry, their actual upcoming presentation, a real email they need to send). This is where most of the class time goes.
Feedback and wrap-up (5–10 min): Targeted correction on the 2–3 patterns that came up most, plus a short, specific task before the next lesson (not generic homework — something tied to their actual job).
