“This course is for people who are aware of their limits in English pronunciation and are ready to work on them. It helps to spot the most problematic issues for every student and gives real instruments for improvement. I personally liked the course because it was very practical, well structured and comprehensive and very well organised. In only seven lessons we surprisingly covered all the program and I left the class with a feeling of deep satisfaction for what we’ve done.”

“I took the course and it was pure joy. Emma has a passion about English sounds that is contagious. It was also extremely useful. I strongly recommend it.”
Enrique. Engineer. Spain. June 2010
“Everything was perfect. There was a very good balance between exercises/lessons,games etc. Pronunciation is hardly taught at school because it requires huge attention from the teacher. These workshops represent a rare opportunity to learn how to speak neutral English. The teachers give plenty of time to each student, are very professional and not only correct us but also teach us a way to learn by ourselves once the course is finished. This is a great course I would recommend to every one of my friends.”
M. Lebbar. Investment Banker. Morocco. Intensive June 2010
“It’s been an eye opener in terms of discovering some of my weaknesses of understanding the importance of the communication flow. I’ve learnt some subtleties that I couldn’t even think of which are essential for making my self understood. The examples and exercises were interesting and very enjoyable. Coming from a scientific background it’s refreshing to be introduced in this way to the art of good speech.”
M. C. Scientist. Spain. Intensive June 2010
“Very effective. I’ve got plenty of clarifications and a clearer picture of what RP is. The LSW course has given me a very clear idea of how the English language works and what RP is all about. My speech is now more accurate, it flows betters and I feel more confident when speaking in English. My message comes across better and communication with others is more enriching for everyone.”
S. Fernandez. Journalist. Spain. Intensive June 2010
“Excellent course. I would recommend it to a friend.”
Luciana M, NHS Office Manager. Brazil. Intensive June 2010
“It has been excellent. I have definitely learned a lot and it has been fun too.”
Silke. Germany. May Intensive 2010
“I found the course is really helpful and effective in terms of the recognition of vowel sounds and RP. I found that it is interesting to know people from different backgrounds and their process of speaking in English. The course helped me in getting more confident in speaking and presentation at my work. I would definitely recommend any friends to take the course!!”
Miho. Japan. May 2010
“I recommend this course to all Italians who want to live and work in England. We have never been taught this in Italy even though we study a lot of grammar and spelling. That’s why British people look at us with blank expressions. They are not being snotty. It is difficult to understand us. This course really helped me a lot to understand why sometimes I wouldn’t be understood.”
Samantha. Paralegal in Patent Office. Italy. May 2010
“I had a great experience with Emma and Sarah. I feel more confident to use my English in front of foreign people. It helped me to understand where I am wrong and teach me how to change it! It was also a lovely atmosphere.”
Gokce. Turkey. Post graduate student. May 2010
“I have enjoyed it fully. You know how to make learning fun and pleasure. This course was the easiest and most enjoyable way of learning a British Accent! I will miss it a lot! Thank you for showing us the colours of the words.”
Rositsa, Administrator. Turkey. March 2010.
“The workshop was value for money. The content and teaching was of a very high standard. My weak points were highlighted and ways of improvement were explained clearly. “
Hugo, R. Web programmer. France. April 2010
“Having lived in the UK for 40 years I struggled with my pronunciation. This course gives a good foundation to build and consistently improve your communication. To get maximum benefit it is very important to practice and review your class notes. Without hesitation it is the best priced course in London. Excellent tutors with full awareness of individuals needs. Emma and her colleague Sarah are exceptional.”
Illesh. India. IT Consultant. March 2010.
” I am looking forward to continuing my journey towards better speech both by self practice and higher level workshops. The seven week course from London Speech Workshop was extremely useful to me. The work was clearly laid out in the first class and the instructor systematically covered all vowel and consonant sounds which helped me identify where I was going wrong. A great surprise and added bonus of the course were exercises on effective communication. There was a focus on information, word stress and public speaking. I really like the course and would recommend it to everyone who would like to make a different to his/her life by the power of effective communication.”
A.A. India. Financial Analyst. March 2010
” I was surprised at how much you can learn from the first lesson and how quickly you can notice immediate improvement, incredible! Emma is an absolutely capable and friendly teacher who knows how to explain things in detail perfectly. I would recommend this workshop to anyone wishing to learn more about the English language sounds, It’s a fantastic workshop and great experience!”
Igor, English School Director. Spain. March Intensive 2010
“Great attention to each individual. Great course material. Great value for money. It is one of the most life changing courses I have ever attended.”
R. C. Analyst. India. March 2010
“It’s a friendly and lovely workshop. I was confused about vowel sounds and mixed up British and American English. However, after the seven week course I can pin the RP sound down and know how to speak British English to English people.”
Tammy. Marketing consultant. Taiwan. January 2010.
“This course is a ‘must’ for anybody thinking on improving his/her pronunciation. Emma’s approach is spot-on, covering both general and personal aspects in a very effective way. From day one you can start to notice the change. I strongly recommend London Speech Workshop for anyone who is considering improving his/her speech.”
L. Deprez, Computer Software Engineer. Spain. November 2009
“After completing the course I feel more confident. It was very beneficial that we were practising how to make the sounds, and doing interesting exercises made it easier to learn them. I can recommend this course to everyone. It makes life easier if people understand you straight away.
I. Toth, Horticulturalist. Turkey. November 2009
“One of my old English friends told me that he understood me without using his deciphering machine…and asked me whether I was living in the UK again. As a general rule in consulting, we improve performance when we have a good diagnosis and a right methodology. Over 8 weeks, we identified what was wrong with my accent and how we could improve it. Thanks to the methodology, we worked to root out the accent issues. Even if I don’t yet have the native English accent, I made a leap forward in this direction.”
B. Lescot, Computer Analyst. France. November 2009
“After a long time of searching for an accent softening course, fortunately I found London Speech Workshop. Although I was aware of my heavy accent I did not know how to overcome it. Emma was so helpful and patient during the classes. Workshops were really well structured and instructed in a friendly environment. I highly recommend Emma’s enthusiastic teaching to everyone who has problems with their accent. My recruitment agency have found the accent course so efficient they have recommended the workshop to other people.”
G. Altan, Researcher. Turkey. November 2009
“Emma is a great accent coach. Her direction will add depth and colour to your English communication skills, and you will learn to how to pronounce perfectly in British English and build connections with others through the active use of intonation. I highly recommend her workshops for professionals! So thank you, Emma, and I wish you all the best.”
Y.X, Management Consultant. Japan. October Intensive 2009
“The course has been very effective for me. I can produce sounds now which I could not do before.”
Heidi, Nanny. Germany. September 2009
“Emma has certainly helped me feel more confident and comfortable in my role as a wealth adviser in the world of the high and ultra-high net worths. I’m amazed at how much more influence words seem to have when delivered correctly. The lessons were efficient, well structured and I genuinely feel I made progress at each one. I don’t speak RP all the time but it is a great tool to have in the bag.”
D. Nelson, Wealth Adviser. England. August 2009
“My experience at the London Speech Workshop has been extremely rewarding. After two weeks of private tutoring, I could notice a difference on the clarity of my speech. I’ve become more aware of my accent, rhythm and intonation; and that awareness has played a major role on my confidence to speak in public. Emma’s guidance and method have effectively helped me to improve my communication’s skills.”
P. Martins, Managing Partner, InvestGroup Brazil. July 2009
“I loved this course. It has helped me to identify all the different mouth shapes needed for pronouncing each vowel and consonant sound. Now I am able to speak more clearly and people can understand me better.”
Mei Yin Lee. Physiotherapist. Malaysia. June 2009
“I am very happy I found this course. It has made me feel more in touch with the culture. It has also empowered me in terms of communicating.”
M.A. University lecturer. Spain. June 2009
Whether you’re tackling rudimentary elocution exercises or authentic pieces of classical English literature. Emma has a profound, and above all, wholesome understanding of the English language she’s working with. In my case, as understanding the semantic level of the text is as important as the lexical one, it’s invaluable to have a teacher like Emma who has a meticulous ear not only for coming to grips with the special difficulties in pronunciation and toning down the accent but also for doing work on a deeper level with the rhythm of English words and sentences.”
Aleksi, PHD Student at SOAS. Finland. May 2009
“I found the instruction very helpful, for the first time I was able to understand how to form the correct mouth shape for words I had always had difficulty with. Also, techniques such as knowing how and where to place stress in a word or sentence has given me more confidence in how I approach the English spoken word.”
K. Ashton. Malaysia. Postgraduate Student. May 2009
“The London Speech Workshop Accent Softening course is a small group course where you can get the individual attention almost the same as a private class. Emma was very precise and accurate in pointing out the difficulties of each student and clearly explained the right articulation and how you can reach the perfect sound. Emma knows how to create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere where you not only can improve your speech but also your listening by working with your colleagues. It is also worthwhile to note that the London Speech Workshop provides high-level material to practice English pronunciation at home.”
C Menezes, PhD student, Camberwell College of Arts. Brazil. May 2009
“I would definitively recommend private classes with Emma. Our sessions focused on the points that I really need to learn in order to improve my accent and communication, which saved me considerable time. She also proved to be very patient and knowledgable, key characteristics in a good private tutor.”
R. B. Business Executive. Brazil. March 2009
