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 decided to try an assessment class online (Skype), then I undertook 10 more lessons, and after this, another 10. It was totally worth it!

I have taken English lessons for many years, and I have been living in England for the last 6 years … I never imagine I could learn so much from a pronunciation point of view. In fact, I wish some of the topics explained by my teacher, Zainab, were regularly taught when learning English in other courses.

It is tough to improve, and a lot of practice will be needed … but the first step is to be aware of these rules for pronunciation, stress and intonation! I highly recommend to take any lesson, it will open your eyes (ears!). read less

Many new and sometimes unexpected rules to learn, a lot to practice - and you can actually see progress. I started to notice how others speak, what kind of accent natives use, what mistakes non-natives make, and at the same time started to listen to myself - how I can speak English better. Great course with great teachers! read less

The teachers are very passionate and will look at each student's specific issues. Weekend intensive courses are always with small groups of students, so you know you'll get all the individual help you need.
Last but not least: the service is great! Years ago I got a bunch of courses paid as a present, but I couldn't use them all at the time. Two years later, when I asked to use the remaining credit, there was no problem at all. They even let me switch one of the intensive weekend courses (which had been discontinued in the meantime) to private lessons. read less
