FAQ
If you have any questions not covered here, please get in touch at the bottom of this page.
In your first class (most learners start with a Taster Class) your teacher will hear you speak naturally and test you on different aspects of pronunciation.
Then you’ll learn the areas that are relevant to you first. If you need work on one or two sounds mainly, we’ll start there. If you would benefit from learning the whole range of sounds and intonation, we’ll plan your course around this.
The lessons are designed for you so that your skills improve step by step after each class.
Most learners take one or two classes each week, some study intensively over a couple of days or weeks, our timetables are entirely flexible for individual training. Our teachers are available Monday to Friday 09:00-21:00, Saturdays 10:00-17:00.
Improving pronunciation involves a lot of repetition of any sounds that are difficult. This should be repeated with the audio as often as possible to build up the strength in your mouth and your listening accuracy. You’ll also normally have some exercises to do for spelling to sound, IPA, and ear training if they are relevant to your course.
Every course includes Pronunciation Studio’s course book ‘The Sound of English’ with audio and AXNting – our video course. Your teacher may provide additional materials based on your needs – we have a large archive of exercises, audio and lessons for specific requirements.
All classes are taught by Pronunciation Studio’s IPA certified teaching team Joseph, Tom, David and Zainab. Every member of the team has over 10 years’ classroom experience.
Normally students stay with the same teacher throughout their course.
After completing 8 hours of individual training (or a group course) you are entitled to 10% off future course purchases. Please use code RETURNER at checkout.
If you are already aware of your requirements and you know this training is suitable, then do go ahead and book.
If you’d like to try it first or learn about your requirements with a speech assessment, it’s recommended that you book an assessment class.
Since 2008 over 10,000 learners from more than 100 countries have improved their pronunciation skills with us.

She focuses on you and your particular needs. She gave me additional materials and tips and answered all my questions. It was more than following lessons and getting homework done; it was about focusing on what I needed. It makes the learning process more efficient, personal and also fun. The Pronunciation Studio is the best option if you live outside the UK and you want to improve your UK English pronunciation skills. read less

Administrator is responsive and effective quickly arranged me sessions. On introductory session we discussed my goals, and analysed my problem areas. While I didn't have any major issues this course contributed greatly to my clarity of speech, improved my vocal presence and make me feel more confident with public presentations. Lessons are interesting and well structured and I'm looking to take few more lessons to track my progress. I wish I had this course few years ago when just moved to London. read less

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
My tuitor was great. She helped me to build my confidence to improve my speaking with my accent and sound of English.
I had level 1 weekend class, it was really helpful! A lot of things need to remember and practice but I’m glad I did it and Tom is very experienced and patient, I’ll definitely recommend to my friends!

She tailored the lessons to the need of my weaker points. She tried to make me understand patiently. I have learnt a lot of new pronunciation points from the lessons that I didn’t take any notice before. I enjoyed every lesson with Zainab. read less

Thanks to Zainab's guidance, I can definitely feel and hear the difference in my speaking now. It's smoother, more natural, and even some Brits have commented on how my accent has improved!
Overall, Pronunciation Studio was absolutely worth the investment. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their English pronunciation! read less
Great experience. I liked the structure and the approach very much - technical and structured, clearly laying out all the rules and providing necessary exercises to practice them. Now I feel well equipped to continue practicing on my own.
I had 40 one-to-one lessons with Zainab last year to improve my accent, and later my intonation. The material provided by the studio (manuals and recordings) is accessible and well structure.

And very friendly: there’s been a... read moreI had 40 one-to-one lessons with Zainab last year to improve my accent, and later my intonation. The material provided by the studio (manuals and recordings) is accessible and well structure. Zainab is an incredible teacher, with an academic background in phonetics and all. And very friendly: there’s been a gap in my weeks after the last lesson! I had half my lessons at the studio and half remotely via videoconference. The schedule was flexible enough to intertwine the lessons with a busy professional agenda.
100% recommended for a pronunciation plan tailored to your needs. read less
