I have good English writing & speaking proficiency, however, pronunciation is a different beast. The high price of the courses was my biggest consideration, but I decided that it's worth the investment. I took Level 1 & Level 2 group course + several private sessions.

Level 1 course: 10/10
It teaches you 45 sounds of English. It will be fascinating to learn that you've been pronouncing several words wrong your whole life. My teacher, Zainab, was brilliant. She identified the sounds that each person had the most trouble with and gave homework to practice accordingly. This course is worth every penny if you want to improve your English pronunciation.

Level 2 course: 3/10
To be fair, I only attended 2 out of 8 classes in this level. I missed 3 because of business trip and I missed the other 3 because I decided that it's not worth my time. Level 2 teaches the intonation in sentence. The lessons are unnecessarily long and repetitive. The teacher also wasn't as passionate as Zainab. He let go mistakes and didn't ask us to repeat the sentences with improvements.

1:1 sessions: 10/10
Although expensive, 1:1 sessions worth every penny if your teacher is Zainab. "Teachers who love teaching help the students love learning" - that's what my dad, a teacher for 35 years, always said. Zainab is definitely a living example of this.
I found 1:1 sessions were much more effective & efficient because Zainab personalised the lesson according to my pronunciation strengths and weaknesses. In hindsight, I should have booked Level 1 course and several 1:1 sessions rather than booking Level 2.

I hope this review is useful for those who are considering to take pronunciation course. In few years, you'll regret not doing it earlier! read less

I did the full immersion course of 1 week. Very interesting and sometimes very surprising. Sometimes I had the idea that I had to learn to speak English all over again. Thumbs up for Zainab and Tom! read less

Just after the first few lessons, I noticed a huge difference in my pronunciation and understanding of what native speakers are saying to me. Each subsequent lesson opens my eyes wider and wider - until now I thought I knew English quite well, but my teacher Tom in Pronunciation Studio teaches me what I have never been taught in any other school - how to properly pronounce all the sounds specific to English. Such lessons are needed for anyone who cares about great English pronunciation and accent. read less

Now I can read phonetics and check it in the phonetic dictionary and pronounce perfectly which is important for me as I am Spanish and we have different sounds with vowels and consonants. I recommend to definitely try out a class and you will see! read less
