Sonya has helped me realize my dream of getting into my Ivy League dream school! Her pure heart, interesting unique personality and thoughtful perfectionist approach is what makes her so successful in helping other students all around the world to reach their goals and use their potential to the fullest. She has taught me how putting my thoughts on paper in a structured and creative manner can have a mind blowing effect on the reader. She has also shown me ways of how to use my language more precisely and sharply by telling my own story and using my own voice and style. I am beyond grateful for all the advice she had given me and I would recommend her to anyone who ever wants to improve their writing skills, master their standardized testing scores, write outstanding college essays or simply get a priceless advice from a real specialist. Sonya doesn’t only teach and show the way but she inspires in the ways I didn’t know existed.

I’m a student from Russia, roughly 1,5 years ago I decided that I should continue my education in the United States and study at one of the American universities. My dream was to get into one of the Ivy League schools. Obviously, as a part of my application process, I had to take SAT General test. I’ve done some self preparation and scored 1450 - 700 for language and 750 for maths, and 5-2-6 for an essay on my first sitting. As it wasn’t quite enough for my target universities, I decided to find someone who would be able to help me improve my language score.
That’s when I started working with Sonia. She thoroughly explained all the necessary concepts, showed me how to do tasks efficiently and where to pay extra attention. We also practiced a lot with essays, Sonia explained me how to properly structure the piece and which points to stress on the most.
Just after 3 months of preparation with Sonia, I was able to score 1590 on my second sitting and 6-6-6 for an essay. Recently I’ve been admitted to Columbia University class of 2023.
I believe that Sonia’s expertise, commitment and personal approach played a crucial role in my preparation, allowing me to score very high on SAT and to eventually get accepted to my dream school, and I can recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their skills of reading and writing in English.

Sonya is an amazing person who made my way to UC Berkeley. She was the person to help me with editing the essay, preparing for the SAT and TOEFL. I wouldn't get in one of the best computer science universities without Sonya's help. I believe she is the best writer in this world because the way she expresses her emotions on a piece of paper is enchanting!! I honestly wish her luck in all her endeavors. 6/5!!!!!!!
