I could respond by asking: how long is a piece of string? But this is a vague response that deflects from the question. So I will get to the point and simplify it as much as possible. The short answer is that anyone seeking change should be willing to invest at least £1,000, or more specifically £1,150.
£1,150 will get you 20 private one to one lessons and lifetime access to the complete course and the Daily Training Programme.
This equates to 13 hours and 20 minutes of study time with me, your teacher, 15 to 30 hours that you will spend on the Daily Training Audio Repetition Programme, and approximately 60 hours that you will spend on the Complete Course.
In total, you will have spent just over £1,000 over the course of six months, which is actually quite a bargain.
There is no minimum or maximum number of lessons, but part of the problem is trust. No one wants to invest £1,000 in a programme that is not going to drive results. And it is not just about the money, but the time spent doing the exercises. Calculating the cumulative hours of both time spent with your instructor and the time you would have spent studying the materials on your own over the course of six months, you would have spent more than 100 hours on the programme.
Now, scientifically, they say that it takes at least 100 hours to develop basic competency in anything. That does not mean all your accent problems will be solved after 100 hours, but you will be in a much better position compared to before.
I usually advise students to take at least ten lessons to see any change and twenty lessons to see significant changes. But as I said before, this does not mean that your accent or pronunciation will have drastically changed overnight. It means you will have a lot more confidence and a much clearer understanding of what changes need to be made and how to make progress in the future, which you perhaps did not have before.
My course is like a launch pad to help you get to where you want to go, and if you follow this mindset, you will make excellent progress in the future.
£1,150 for a six month course of 20 one to one lessons, combined with a 15 hour self study audio repetition programme and a 60 hour digital course with virtual lectures, is a bargain. I can only offer this at such a price because I am passionate about what I do. I created this course from a place of genuine desire to build a programme that would actually help people with their accents.
