Standard British English pronunciation tuition and accent reduction

From 84.62 $ /h

As an experienced, university and CELTA qualified native teacher of English (and other languages), I specialise nowadays in pronunciation teaching and accent reduction, helping students towards a more standard British English delivery. If you speak English but find you are often asked to repeat yourself, if you would like to blend in more with other English speakers at work or if you are called upon to give lectures or presentations in English, I can help you gain confidence and speak with clarity and conviction. Zoom and similar platforms are in fact excellent for pronunciation teaching, and consequently I find myself teaching students from many walks of life right across the globe. My lessons are as interesting and fun as I can possibly make them and I take infinite care to adapt my methods and materials to the individual requirements and needs of each student.

About Me

Online teaching through Zoom or Skype is brilliant for accent reduction and pronunciation lessons! So, if you are finding you lack confidence in your English speaking skills, worry about your accent or keep needing to repeat yourself, now is an ideal time to seek professional help - tailored specially for you - towards a clearer, easily understood Standard Southern British accent or conventional Received Pronunciation. Once you find yourself speaking with assurance and confidence, you will quickly come across as the person you really are. As a CELTA qualified, English and foreign language teacher with many years experience both in schools and as a private tutor, I offer one to one private tuition to adults - online these days - from my dedicated teaching room in the heart of London. My goal is also to make these lessons fun and of specific interest and assistance to you, the individual student. I also offer editing of presentations, dissertations, articles etc and targeted tuition for the IELTS exams, specialising in writing tasks 1 and 2 (General or Academic) as well as the speaking component. My methods are right up to date. In addition to helping with general English, I install a sure knowledge of the 45 different sounds of English – that’s right 45 – and, where helpful, their various phonetic symbols. (There are only 26 alphabet letters, by the way!) At the same time, I use short videos and transcriptions, advertisements, story telling, humour, games, diagrams, muscle exercises, texts, poetry, conversations and dialogues to practise the melody and stress of British English and make sure you acquire excellent presentation skills. The very first lesson will acquaint you with the 45th sound, the schwa /ə/, the most common vowel sound in British English but one that until recently has all too often been neglected. From there you will learn how to stress and destress words in sentence chunks, how to modulate the pitch of your voice, how to convey extra meaning simply by altering your intonation. Ear training is very important and listening skills are given as much attention as speaking through use of games and audio texts. For any of you particularly anxious to improve your general English skills, I aim to teach these as needed through the medium of pronunciation lessons.

I am very generous with my time. I also cannot stress highly enough how important it is that you put in the extra revision work for each lesson at home. Specially prepared handouts and audio material plus recordings of each lesson are supplied as email attachments. Still not convinced? Send me an email preferably stating your first language and a few details about yourself and what you wish to achieve or give me a ring (remembering to leave your number in your message please) and we can discuss your needs. I have taught all sorts of people and all sorts of nationalities privately and in language schools for many years and many of my students have continued sessions with me for months, even years, at a time.
Stay safe, stay focused,

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

I help adult learners speak English more fluently, naturally and with confidence.

This course is focused on real communication, not memorisation or complicated grammar rules.
You will practise speaking from the very first lesson and learn how to express your ideas clearly in real-life and professional situations.

This class is ideal if you:

understand English but feel blocked when speaking

translate in your head and lose fluency

need English for work, travel or international communication

My teaching approach is practical and communication-based.
We use real-life situations, guided conversation, simple explanations and active vocabulary practice.

My goal is to help you speak English clearly, naturally and with confidence - not to make you perfect, but effective in real communication.
