English Pronunciation Coaching in London & Online

• English is an additional language for you

• you speak English well but feel less confident about pronunciation

• colleagues and friends ask you to repeat yourself more often than you’d like

• people misunderstand certain words or phrases – even when you’re sure you’ve said them clearly

• you think you speak too fast, but trying to slow down doesn’t work

• you avoid certain words or phrases because you find them awkward to pronounce

• you want to improve rhythm and intonation but the explanations you’ve found are either too vague or too academic

• the difference between seat and sit (or another pair of words) is still a mystery, or…

• you understand the difference between seat and sit (for example) but you don’t feel confident about producing these sounds in your own speech

• you want people to focus on your words first, pronunciation later

• you’ve tried pronunciation training before but it was too generic – you need something that focuses on YOUR needs, not all the sounds in English

• you’ve tried pronunciation training before but it was too theoretical

• you’ve watched YouTube videos about pronunciation but you don’t know how to implement what you’ve learned

• you need clear structure and guidance around pronunciation rather than ‘hoping for the best’

If you recognise yourself in even one or two of the above, you are definitely not alone. 

In English pronunciation coaching, we start with your objectives. You might just want to sound as clear as possible in English, or aim for a particular accent framework.

This is a personal choice and however you feel about it is valid. We’ll get clear on this before starting any sessions.

English pronunciation coaching will enable you to:

• accurately pronounce challenging English vowels and consonants 

• apply these sounds to the words and phrases you use most often

• confidently produce these new sounds when they come up spontaneously in everyday speech

• use rhythm and intonation patterns appropriately and flexibly to guide your listeners

• monitor and adjust your own pronunciation as needed

• have a sense of ownership and authenticity over your new choices – you will still sound like yourself

• know that you can get your valuable ideas across clearly and confidently first time in business and social situations

Your individual programme is 100% tailored to you. Depending on your goals, you may wish to combine pronunciation work with some aspects of voice and speech coaching.
