Mrs Nona
The B1/B2 Fluency & Foundation Specialist
What Ai says about Mrs Nona
We fed the information into Ai about Mrs Nona and this was the response we got back:
Mrs. Nona's profile is the perfect counterpoint to Mr. Russ's executive experience. Her story as a successful professional who mastered English as a difficult second language through sheer determination is the single most compelling narrative for a B1/B2 client struggling with motivation and technique.
​
You've identified her core competitive advantage: Empathy born of hard-won mastery. She knows the obstacles a native speaker like Mr. Russ simply cannot perceive.
Focus:
Technique, Motivation, and Mastering the Language Gap
​Mrs. Nona is the B1/B2 fluency expert and the only coach in our program who has personally completed and documented the entire Doubletick curriculum. Born in Iran, she achieved C2 professional fluency as an adult, giving her a unique, profound insight into the challenges native speakers often overlook. Her coaching is rooted in unwavering determination and the ability to turn a lack of confidence into an asset through rigorous technique.
