Welcome!
This trial lesson is only for pronunciation-focused students.
If your main goal is to improve your accent, clarity, and confidence when speaking English, this is the right place for you!

During the trial, we will:

1. Discuss your pronunciation goals and challenges

2. Do a short pronunciation analysis (so you know exactly what to work on)

3. Try a few practical exercises to experience my teaching style

4. Create a clear plan for your future pronunciation lessons

Please note:
👉 I only accept students interested in pronunciation training.
If you’re looking for general conversation, grammar, or exam preparation, this class is not suitable.

Looking forward to helping you speak English with clarity and confidence!

The only way you will see real improvement in your language is if you use it! I want to give you the opportunity to use your language in a constructive and supportive environment. 
These lessons will focus on developing your conversation skills in a variety of topics and situations.

The general structure of the lessons will follow a similar style, depending on the topic and your level of knowledge I will recommend key vocabulary and sentence structures/frames to aid your communication. We will also use real life materials such as news articles, videos, blogs etc, to build your knowledge base and opinions on the subject. During the lessons I will prioritise good communication and highlight any grammatical errors that may need further development. 

I have an abundance of materials, however if you would like to follow a particular book I am also more than happy to develop some materials to support your needs. 

I want these lessons to be useful and interesting. I want you to be able to use what you learn in class in real life situations. For this reason I will tailor my lessons around you and find the best way to maximise your time so you get the most out of your language journey. 

If you haven't already had a trial lesson with me, please book one so we can get to know each other, discuss your language goals and how we are going to achieve them.

British English Conversation level B1 and above (Intermediate to Advanced)

Sometimes your accent can get in the way of being understood. 

In these lessons we will focus on your specific idiolect to identify areas for improvement. After we will tailor an exercise program to work on specific sounds along with audio and videos to help you practice your pronunciation.

My method is based on starting with small isolated sounds, then those sounds in words and finally using those words in sentences. It is important to understand how sounds are made and breaking down the movements in order to use your speech organs in a foreign way. 

Changing your pronunciation can be very challenging, but by making small changes and with a lot of practice you will start to hear noticeable results.
