Even I'm in London for few years, there was a lot of new things to discover and learn. Both of the teachers ( Zeinab & Tom ) were very professional and friendly, excellent attitude. The way how they shared knowledge is one of the best I ever saw. Definitely it was worth to do it as now is over 3 months from the course and I can see real results of it! My recommendation to all of my friends and anyone who like to improve their accent, easier get on with work colleagues, be more successful with new meets and increase your chances on labour market, don’t think twice just do it! 🙂 read less

Friends and colleagues also noticed that my speech became more clear and melodic. The schedule is very systematic and thoroughly organised and Zainab is always there to help adjusting the intensity of the classes / homework to my lifestyle. There are times when my job gets too intense and I don't have enough time for regular homework - in such cases we are just having general speaking classes once in a fortnight and this is still incredibly efficient and helpful. I really love how positive, patient and encouraging Zainab is - sometimes it takes me a while to understand a particular sound and she doesn't stop until I fully get it. Without any doubt speech improvement requires very hard work, but with a right trainer the progress comes sooner than you might think. read less

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

The teacher were excellent and very patient with us students with very different background. The 4 days are not enough to learn everything but the training material provided is very helpful for self-learning and the course gave me the confidence and technique to work on my pronunciation. read less
