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.

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:)

I had 5 amazing pronunciation lessons with Paul, each one tailored to what I truly needed. He used great examples and exercises that made it easy to improve quickly. I could notice the difference in my speech from day one. He helped me tackle the issues I brought up and also spotted other things I hadn’t noticed. I’d highly recommend him to anyone who wants to level up their pronunciation and speaking skills.

His accent is very specific, and Paul speaks unclearly, which is quite strange for someone who teaches pronunciation, you see? I have no problems understanding English by ear, but the lessons with Paul almost made me believe otherwise. No methodology, zero knowledge of phonetics (does not even know the signs of English transcription). The course didn't work, it was a waste of money. I was also frustrated with Paul's English conversation classes: we were doing the textbook and he just didn't understand what he was doing. I would not recommend him as a teacher at all.
