Student Testimonials

Join hundreds of satisfied accent-reduction clients from all over the world.

“I took a one-year course to improve my British pronunciation and reduce my native tongue accent. Tough intense lessons (as they were on a weekly basis) turned into great outcomes! John is a very talented, patient and enthusiastic teacher. He pointed out my main struggles and we worked on improving and in some cases on a completely different way of pronunciation. I can’t stress enough how much more confident and happy I feel now. Even though I’ve been living in London and working in English for many years, those silly mistakes couldn’t be spotted by me, however they do make a big difference! Thank so much again!!”

“John's approach to accent reduction is really working for me. John is offering 1. a straightforward and efficient approach to accent reduction 2. an amazing patience in listening and great skills in hearing and analysing what does not sound English 3. a no-complacence policy, demanding but that gets results 4. flexibility in arranging tuition time. If you are looking for more theory or using phonetic spelling to correct your accent, or an hour of fun time and jokes...this place is not for you...and there is no miracle, you'll need to work every minute of this hour with him...but if you want results, it pays back.”

“John is a very professional, knowledgeable and responsible coach. His course help me to learn how to pronounce vowels in British English. The course has a great structure as well. John is very professional and he could spot my problems easily and correct me. He has a broad knowledge of how people from different backgrounds speak English incorrectly. And he always pointed out as a Mandarin speaker, what do I tend to pronounce wrong. He has been my coach for around 9 months now and I speak more and more like British.”

Meet John

Hello, I'm John, the creator of SpeakBritishEnglish. I began teaching British pronunciation at a small school in Tokyo in 2009. Then I started my own school in London while completing a degree in Music. I now live in Asia, and conduct one-to-one British pronunciation lessons online. With today's internet speed this works just as well as meeting in person, and is much more time-efficient for students. I approach pronunciation training like music. My first goal is to help you develop an ear for the British accent so that you start to hear English more like a native. Second, I aim for you to break bad habits and develop the muscle memory to be able to produce the fundamental sounds of British English correctly. Finally I aim to help you integrate what you have learned into your everyday speech. I look forward to helping you with your accent.
