Are you struggling with pronunciation? Sick of getting confused looks whenever you speak English?
You’re not the only one. Pronunciation is one of the most difficult parts of English. There are a lot of difficult and unique sounds in English that don’t exist in other languages.
If you learned English at school, you probably didn’t learn anything about pronunciation. But there’s so much to learn when it comes to pronunciation!
In this is a full and extensive course on pronunciation. I will personally help you fix each and every one of your pronunciation mistakes, as well as helping you get closer to sounding like a native speaker.
It’s honestly unbelievable that no teacher has ever taught you about pronunciation properly. It’s no wonder you’re struggling.
I guarantee I can help you improve your pronunciation, at worst, just a little bit. And at best, a complete transformation of your pronunciation.
The course involves both practise as well as theory that can help you understand how English pronunciation actually works.
On bottom of all that, I will give you professional and personalise feedback on exactly what YOU need to improve to get the band score you want to achieve.

Pronunciation theory: (50% of the course) You will learn important pronunciation theory topics such as: The Schwa sound, stressed syllables, mouth positions & air flow, connected speech, intonation and lots more
Pronunciation Practise (50% of the course) We will do a large range of different practise exercises to improve your pronunciation. These include: Recording your voice and analysing it, shadowing exercises, minimal pair exercises, reading out-loud and being corrected during normal conversation.
We will identify your biggest pronunciation problems and focus on them, practising them over and over again until you get it right. .
Even if you are somebody who has continuous, serious pronunciation problems, I believe I can help you improve.
If you like, I’ll help you get closer to achieving a British accent
You will learn how to pronounce the consonant sounds first, then we’ll move on to the trickier vowel sounds (Man – Men, Bone – Born, Seat – Sit)
Definitely. At the very least, you will learn about pronunciation theory. At best, you’ll see big improvements in your pronunciation.
Yes of course. I’ll help you understand exactly which important sounds make up a British accent and how to get closer to British accent yourself.
Pretty sure. Your brain is constantly making new connections. Even if you’re someone who naturally finds correct pronunciation a big challenge, it’s always possible for your brain to make new connections, and therefore improve your pronunciation!
At worst, in the pronunciation workshop you’ll at least learn a huge amount about pronunciation theory which is incredibly interesting in itself.
That’s ok. No matter your overall English level, I can help you to improve your pronunciation
There is a lot of useful theory that goes along with pronunciation. The IPA (international phonetic alphabet), stressed syllables, the schwa sound, connected speech, intonation, mouth positions and air flow.
Learning about each of these things will help you understand, not only English pronunciation, but the pronunciation of all languages
This is where we actively practise and improve your pronunciation. There are many useful ways of doing this such as: Recording and analysing your voice, shadowing exercises, minimal pair exercises, reading out loud and having your pronunciation corrected in normal conversation
