Meet Our Coaches:
Molly Jones
I've travelled around the world; visited 15 countries; stood on 6 continents; lived in 3 countries and won't be finished exploring until I've reached space. I love to travel, read, learn languages, cook, and eat delicious food!
I prefer to teach with a communicative approach, using conversation based teaching to encourage students to use the vocabulary they already have. I have extensive experience working with multicultural classrooms ranging from 1-20 adult students. I've developed class specific program manuals, conducted monthly courses for explicit curriculum, and have led many interesting and unique English courses and teacher development workshops like: English Through Yoga, English Through Film, and English Through San Francisco (a guided tour). I am looking forward to continuing working with passionate English language students!

Sophie Lawson
I've been writing English content and teaching English as a second language since 2008, with a focus on Professional English. I lived in Paris for 5 years where I taught at a private business school and became the head teacher after one year. I was responsible for corporate clients as well as designing content, lesson plans, and communication materials.
Over the years I've learned to adapt to my clients' needs to be able to provide them with the absolute best methods suited to their particular learning style. In addition, I strive to make each class relevant by tying the lesson into their daily and professional lives.
Additionally, as a writer, I have helped many of my clients find the precise language they need to convey complex ideas or tell a compelling story. When not working, I enjoy analyzing the English language in books and on the screen, constantly playing with words and thinking of how things could have been said better.
I'm confident that with my experience, enthusiasm, and compassion I can help you achieve your English goals!
