About Sophie
Hello!
I set up and perform in improvised comedy shows. I’ve worked in several countries in Europe and Asia, performing, directing and teaching. I design and deliver improv comedy classes and courses for my own company, The Rhetoric, and for Hoopla, the UK's largest improv school. I host shows at London’s first improv comedy theatre.
In 2025, I directed the film, Committing the Kiss, in collaboration with Makoff Productions.
When I was a workplace mediator, I had a success rate of 93%, and I taught others to mediate at work. I have a Cambridge certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and have taught hundreds of people from around the world to speak with professional confidence. I have a Master's degree in voice skills, allowing me to pinpoint where you can get the best from your voice.
I work with clients from tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Traveloka, the UK government, local councils, doctors, lawyers and university lecturers, academics and admin teams, start ups and solo entrepreneurs.
I was born in London, have lived in a few countries in Europe and Asia, and came back to live in London again, near Greenwich, where time is made in big batches and shipped out all over the world.

Impromptu speaking skills are vital for today's fast-paced workplaces. You don't have the time to learn a script by heart, nor write it all out and certainly no time to worry about it.
The most effective leaders talk to their teams off-the-cuff because they know what they want to get across, how to win over their listeners and the best use of impromptu structures.
I know from personal and professional experience that authentic, engaging, sparkling speaking skills can happen without a script, without stressing and without years of preparation.
Rhetorical language patterns, storytelling and a great voice are skills, they can be learned.
Your underlying assumptions about yourself and how well you're going to speak as a leader are mental habits, and habits can be changed.
Here's what I offer:
The Foundations - Reset Your Feedback Loops
- Breathing for presence
- Using your voice box for tone, projection and stamina
- Developing your focus to command stressful situations
- Hypnosis for deep, permanent confidence
and
The Conversation Protocol - Authentic Engagement with your Audience
- Persuasive rhetorical patterns
- Storytelling structures and techniques
- Timing, pausing and delighting an audience
In your free, 45-minute trial session, we’ll clarify your goals, look at what might be holding you back, and start your transformation into an authentic confident speaker

Sophie has a powerful magic wand that helped me to be confident to prepare an introduction video for the TedTalk application. As a non-English native speaker, I'm always worried about 1) my pronunciation that might bring some misunderstandings, and 2) how to really address my points clearly and concisely through my speech.
After 5 sessions with Sophie who carefully listened and empowered me with her professional skills and her compassionate personality that helped me to believe in my own voice that is worth being heard, I completed the application by using all the techniques she taught. .
I very much enjoyed and was satisfied with all these transformational and playful sessions with Sophie. All that I learned is not only for the TedTalk application this time but will also last in my career. Thank you so much Sophie.
If you are looking for a coach to help you to speak with your own power though your voice, Sophie is highly recommended.Recently Sophie and I worked together. Sophie is very engaging and knowledgeable. She guided me in my Voice session with ease and confidence but in such a way that I felt totally in her trust and able hands. I was blown away with the insights she gave me to reflect on and understand about myself. I feel more confident in how I approach things with my presence and understand why I may do things in a certain way. I am forever grateful to her and the time we spent in this session. I would highly recommend working with her.
I had English lessons with her back in 2013. She's kind, knowledgeable and patient. Whenever I had a doubt, Sophie's name pops up in my mind. She's an asset.
The way Sophie teaches is very creative and empowering. My favourite way of Sophie’s teaching, which is also very challenging, is she always tries to challenge me and get me out of my comfort zone in order to elevate my English skills to the next level. I was very motivated by her teaching and now I am bold enough to speak in public in English. Thanks Sophie!
Be bold and be challenged, your English will be levelled up sooner than you expected if you choose Sophie!
Hi Sophie, thank you so much for making English lessons so much fun. Best English lessons I've ever had. You fully understood what I need to pronounce my words better and you were the first who explains how to improve my English more than just learn more words and improve my grammar. Would come back to you any time!
Sophie has had a great role in my journey in learning English. She always made the lessons so enjoyable, it was a pleasure attending them. Also, she was capable to transfer her acting skills into teaching and giving us tips on how to improve pronunciation (still so grateful for this). I can guarantee you that with her you’ll be highly satisfied
