Accent and pronunciation specialist 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. 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. 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.

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 is an excellent pronunciation class. Paul is very helpful and meticulous, and he provided thorough, detailed feedback. English pronunciation is very challenging because it includes a set of sounds that are quite different from those in my own language, but he made everything easy to follow and understand. I really appreciated his clear explanations.

It was a great class because Paul Oliver has a clear and supportive teaching style. He is organised and makes an effort to evaluate students' strengths and weaknesses. Thank you.
