Hi, my name is Paul and I am a specialist in both accent reduction (helping you to be clearer and easier to understand) and in developing a modern standard British accent (think Tom Hiddleston or Gemma Chan).
I am currently based in Prague, and prior to my teaching career, I worked in finance and as an actor.
Me as a Teacher
I starting teaching English in 2017 and since then have taught many hundreds of different students from teenagers to older adults, in groups and individually, from A1-C2, in-person and online, covering business law, general English grammar, vocabulary, writing, listening and speaking.
But the thing I love most is to coach people to change their accent. I have so much fun in lessons and I'm passionate about developing my own skills and knowledge, as I help my students to develop theirs.My lessons & teaching style
Conversation with me is friendly, respectful, hopefully intelligent and funny sometimes too. I will correct any significant mistakes I hear, but I will also join in with topic as well.
Pronunciation exercises include technical instruction, and mirroring (trying to copy my sounds) as well as freer practice using pieces of writing that I like.My teaching material

Paul is amazing! He always prepares to lessons and can help you with your mistakes.
Also, he knows a lot of different things, so it's interesting to discuss something with him. And to get more useful words:)

This was my first lesson with Paul, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. He was very competent, put me at ease, and explained everything clearly and precisely (which is really not easy when it comes to pronunciation).

We worked on the rhythm and intonation of a paragraph, and it turned out very well. Paul was patient and really helpful.
