All this changed once I started my lessons with Paul. I have discovered Paul to be great to work with, his teaching method was eye-opening, from understanding the techniques behind the pronunciation of each sound (how the mouth muscles are used in sound creation), to implementing the weak forms in daily speech, which made my general speech much more fluent. Ever since we started, he was great at picking up the areas that I needed to work on, providing constant feedback, pointing out those that needed more attention, so I could practice on my own in-between sessions. His feedback came not only during our lessons, but also after each session, and for each threshold that we passed, providing summaries for everything that we had covered.

What I appreciated the most was that he is very patient, methodical, and supportive, the lessons were always interesting, motivating me to practice more on my own as part of daily routine. I would absolutely recommend Paul, not only for his vast knowledge in phonetics but also because he is very good in monitoring progress and coming up with personalized materials to work with. I am very happy I chose him to help me improve my speech clarity, as I am now a lot more confident in my communication skills.

1. Paul’s lessons are all one-on-one, and he always prepares his materials in advance catering to each student’s needs. He spotted problems that I hadn’t been aware of all these years and helped me correct them. 2. Paul is very knowledgeable not only about theories of English phonetics but also practical tips on how to improve pronunciation. He can answer any questions that I ask and help demystify the vagueness of English pronunciation. 3. He is very friendly and his lessons are carried out in a relaxed atmosphere. He always treats me with respect and shows great patience in helping me with the problems that are difficult to fix.

I feel I have made great progress and find my self speaking more naturally and confidently. Improving your pronunciation doesn’t happen instantly; it takes time and effort, but Paul’s lessons can make the process much easier, quicker, and enjoyable.

It took a long time, and Paul showed incredible patience trying to make me sound more natural, but the results exceeded all my expectations. I have reached a decent level, and it had a huge impact on my confidence and fluency. I continue my sessions with Paul, planning to become a BBC announcer after retirement.

Paul has been by far the most approachable, honest and knowledgeable of all my accent coaches – and the only one who has internationally recognized published materials! He will give you accurate feedback on the areas where you can improve – which will be unique to you – and he will provide you with plenty of exercises to work on i

You can also use his excellent published materials to work on your targets between lessons.

If you really want to improve your pronunciation, Paul is definitely one of the best coaches to help you.

Paul demonstrated impressive professionalism in pinning down, and then eliminating, the various structural issues that made me sound foreign. Then he took on the Gargantuan task of identifying and addressing all the small, non-structural issues: the many individual words the incorrect pronunciation of which had been entrenched in my speech.

After a year and a half of work that has taken dedication on both sides, the improvement is tangible, and it is bringing results. I am impressed, satisfied, and grateful, and I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone looking to improve their accent - including those who have only a thin, elusive whiff of foreignness about their speech.
