RP Accent Training: Improve Your Professional Communication Skills with Online or In-person Lessons

Do people often fail to understand you even though your grammar is correct? Do you wish to speak English with a more native-like accent that is easy for people to understand?

A Complete Program

For a comprehensive learning experience, my teaching approach incorporates three essential elements to facilitate accelerated progress.

 

The Feedback Loop: INPUT — OUTPUT & CORRECTION — REPETITION & INTERNALIZATION

Input Mechanism: Complete Course Materials

The student engages with the full course materials independently. This allows them to familiarize themselves with the sounds of British English, aiding in their preparation for upcoming lessons.

Output & Correction: Private Lessons

During individualized 1-1 lessons, the student the receives guidance on articulating sounds. The teacher carefully leads them through the positioning of articulators using carefully prepared drills, correcting errors to ensure precision. While this process may be gradual, accuracy takes precedence, and speed develops through consistent practice.

Repetition & Internalization: Daily Training Program

With a solid understanding of sound articulation, the student can now focus on internalizing the process through the Daily Training Program. This program comprises prerecorded repetition exercises utilizing timed and spaced repetition, helping build muscle memory effectively.
