About SpeakBritishEnglish

Master Modern RP with the online accent-reduction course & private pronunciation lessons

SpeakBritishEnglish is an English pronunciation training platform offering an online British pronunciation course and one-to-one online accent-reduction lessons. 

The online course is unique in that you get to submit video assignments and receive individual video responses from John, with expert feedback on your pronunciation and tips for how to improve. You also get loads of lectures, exercises, examples and quizzes.

One-to-one lessons include full access to all online materials. You can pay monthly or save up to 80% with a one-year commitment. In these lessons you will learn Modern Received Pronunciation. We will examine your accent in depth and develop exercises that target your specific pronunciation mistakes. These lessons are ideal for adults and teenagers and children over 10, whether in the UK or elsewhere in the world. 

John is based in Asia, so he's available to UK students from early in the morning until the mid afternoon and available to East Asian students until the late evening.

Meet John

British Accent Coach, Specialising in Modern RP

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.
