Nice to meet you!

I am Dr. Aicha Sonni, coach and expert in mind optimisation, dedicated to empowering women to thrive in all aspects of life. As a mother of four with a background in teaching mathematics, my personal and professional experiences inspire me and have shaped my coaching skills.

I am also passionate about mentoring students, particularly girls with neurodiversity, to unlock their full potential. As a neurodivergent individual, my own learning experiences allow me to connect deeply with my mentees, helping them embrace their unique strengths and develop academic resilience.

My academic journey includes a PhD in Mathematics Education from the Centre for Education Studies at the University of Warwick, where I focused on the affective domain of mathematics education. I am fortunate to frequently deliver talks at international conferences and contribute to books related to fostering mathematical resilience and overcoming mathematics anxiety.
