RP Accent Training: Master Received Prounciation
Do you speak with perfect grammar, yet people still struggle to understand you?
You are not alone. Many professionals possess a high level of academic English but fail to leave the right impression due to poor intonation and articulation. Whether you are negotiating a high-stakes deal or delivering a presentation, clear communication is an asset you cannot afford to ignore.
I don’t just teach English; I recalibrate your motor skills. My goal is to give you the necessary tools to achieve a native-like British RP accent. I provide a logical, step-by-step structure that strips away the mystery of pronunciation and focuses on the physics of speech.
How We Work
I do not offer “casual conversation” classes. My 40-minute private lessons are designed for maximum effectiveness and efficiency, utilizing accelerated learning techniques, timed repetition, and shadowing to build new neural pathways.
Course Highlights
- The Physiology: Understand the interconnection between the articulators, lungs, and diaphragm.
- The Code: Decode the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to visualize sound.
- The Mindset: Learn to think like a native speaker for effortless communication.
- The Muscle: Develop the muscle memory required for British resonance.
- The Nuance: Differentiate between similar but distinctly different vowels.

RP accent training for Americans (actors & narrators) is also available.
A Complete System for Accent Transformation
For a comprehensive learning experience, my teaching approach incorporates three essential elements. To get results, you need all three working in harmony.
The Feedback Loop: INPUT — OUTPUT & CORRECTION — REPETITION & INTERNALIZATION
1. The Input Mechanism (The Theory)
The Complete Course You study the mechanics independently using my video course. This is your textbook. It allows you to master the definitions and theory of British English at your own pace, ensuring that you arrive at our lessons prepared.
2. The Correction Mechanism (The Surgery)
Private Consulting During our 1-on-1 sessions, we stop talking about theory and start fixing the mechanics. I will diagnose your specific articulatory errors and manually correct your positioning. We prioritize precision over speed.
3. The Internalisation Mechanism (The Gym)
The Daily Training Programme Once you understand how to make the sound, you must drill it until it becomes a reflex. The Daily Training Programme is a series of audio exercises using spaced repetition. This builds the muscle memory required to speak without thinking.
