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. ### How do I book a free trial with Sophie? 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. ### Do packages only work with Sophie? 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. ### Where is Sophie based? 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. ### How much does a session with Sophie cost? 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. ### Does Sophie coach behavioural and technical interviews? Yes.
