I make the best use of technology in my lessons. I use screen-sharing so that I can explain language points to you during class. It's just like having me sitting beside you in your own home or office, though we can be thousands of miles apart!
My Advanced Pronunciation Course is for students who want an intensive course of study to improve their English pronunciation. Students who want a less intensive learning experience can choose my Conversation Classes instead.

Before every Pronunciation Class I will send you a Class Preparation Pack that will include the following:

• A full explanation of the part of pronunciation we are looking at in the class.
• Listening activities so that you can hear examples of the pronunciation points being discussed.
• Exercises to help you understand the pronunciation points.

The Class Preparation Pack is an Adobe Acrobat file with embedded multimedia.

After completing the Class Preparation Pack you will have 30 minutes online Intensive Pronunciation Class with me based on the content of the Class Preparation Pack.

You can buy individual classes, though most of my students save money by buying a package of classes.

Book your classes at the times and dates that suit you - depending on availability of class times.

There are class times available on the booking calendar 7 days a week. You are sure to find a time that suits your busy lifestyle.

These classes cost a little more than Conversation Classes because they involve considerably more work on my part, and form part of an intensive pronunciation course in British English.

The Advanced Pronunciation Course consists of 60 individual classes. Each class has an extensive Class Preparation Pack and 30 minutes of online practice with me using Skype and screen sharing. Each Class Preparation Pack gives you detailed information and listening materials for the particular aspect of British English pronunciation that the class is looking at.

The course begins with a comprehensive look at the varieties of English, the phonetic chart and regional accent variation. Subsequent classes introduce the student to all aspects of pronunciation including, consonant clusters, stress in words and phrases, stressed and unstressed syllables, fluent speech features, speech units, intonation, conversation management using intonation, and tonal modulation in formal settings.

By the end of the course, the student will understand why and how spoken English differs from written English and will be able to reproduce all English pronunciation features. Not only does the student improve their pronunciation markedly, but they also improve their ability to understand spoken English, due to their improved understanding of linking sounds, ellipsis and near ellipsis, missing consonant sounds, syllabic consonants, weak and strong forms, and all other aspects of spoken English.

After completing the work in the Class Preparation Pack, the student then spends 30 minutes with me online putting what they have learnt into practice. This is the key to improving pronunciation as only a teacher who understands the mechanics of English pronunciation is in a position to correct student errors. I use screen sharing to fully explain any necessary points during the online class. A typical class with the Class Preparation Pack and the online component will take around 60-90 minutes to complete, depending on the student’s ability and motivation.

If you are interested in the Advanced Pronunciation Course, you will need to book an Introductory Class through your Linguaspectrum Membership Page. There is a nominal fee of €3 for this 30 minute Introductory with me online. This fee makes sure that you can use PayPal or Moneybookers without any problems. I am a trusted merchant with both payment processors. During the class I will have an opportunity to find out your current level of English and demonstrate how the online classes work. You will have the chance to ask any questions that I have not covered here.
