I've been working with Allen for several months and I am still amazed by his professional level and attention to the details he is paying during our lessons. He is not only able to explain the norms of English, he offers the set of professional tools to work with in order to improve your language level. This includes the set of web lessons, AI-based engine for practice and assessment even when you are not in session. Allen has strong professional background, which allows him to explain in the details how any particular sound is made when we speak because everything matters: tongue position, lips, intonation. Usually I am able to find correct sound after his first explanation after trying to find it myself for long time. So Allen is going far beyond of what I could desire when it comes to real work with one's accent. Absolutely worth it. In addition, he is just a nice person with great manners.

Concerning "Rhythm, Intonation, and More" Wonderful NEW course/lesson. Allen teaches (and/or coaches) with such a passion that gets you utterly engaged in everything he does. I'd say a wonderful complement to the "Pronunciation Course".
