Very productive lessons! Every time they are very prepared and topics are discussed before the lessons. Sophie has a strong knowledge of data science field. I Definitely recommend if your goal is practicing in IT talking or more specific- data science/analytics area

Sophie is really helpful and she can teach something about job interviewing. The lessons help me not only in terms of english, but also with thinking about the questions and preparing the answers.

Questions about Sophie

Sophie is a UK-based data engineer and English coach at Mockly. She has a first-class BSc in Mathematics from Cardiff University, a 120-hour TEFL certificate from Gatehouse Awards (2017), and has taught English since 2018. She has worked in financial services and has sat on the technical side of interview panels.

Tech interview English — HR screens, STAR stories, coding and system-design walkthroughs, live mocks — and business English for tech professionals. She also helps match CVs and applications to UK and European standards, and corrects how you say numbers, metrics, and technical syntax. You get live corrections and written feedback after a full session.

Book a free 30-minute Google Meet from this page. No card and no subscription. You talk through the roles you want and practise a short interview-style prompt in English.

No. A session package adds credits you can use with Sophie or Tom anytime in the next 12 months. Each paid booking uses one credit.

Sophie is from Berkshire, in south-east England, and is based in the UK. She speaks neutral British English (RP). She coaches over Google Meet, so students book from the UK, US, EU, and elsewhere in their own timezone.

The first 30-minute trial is free, with no card. A full 60-minute session is $50 (one credit). Session packages of 5, 10, or 20 credits cost less per session and can be used with Sophie or Tom for 12 months.

Yes. Sophie coaches both equally — HR screens, STAR stories, coding, SQL, Python, and system design. You pick the round when you book.

Either. Sophie and Tom coach the same sessions: behavioural and technical interview English. Book whoever you would rather work with. Session credits work with either coach.
