“I went to the UK for my studies and stayed there for four years. I always wanted to pick up a British accent. But I was upset by the fact that it was actually difficult for me to pick up the accent in the beginning. Sometimes it was even difficult to understand conversations spoken in certain accents and I felt like I couldn’t speak English at all. Therefore, I asked Matt for some help with my language issues. We had lessons once a week and I started to see the improvement after a month or so. Not only that, I managed to understand the majority of conversations I encountered in the UK. With Matt’s help I also became more aware of my English pronunciation and was able to pick up the RP accent (or so-called BBC English) efficiently. The lessons definitely helped me to articulate more clearly and others could understand my English better than before. Having had the lessons, I now feel more confident in giving a presentation in English at work. I am happy that I have had the chance to work on my accent with Matt. The skills that I’ve learnt from him are useful and extremely worthwhile.”

“I have been in the UK for almost 12 years, but English pronunciation was always a problem for me. I found Matt online and I had 6 months of speaking training with him. In the first 2 months, I noticed minor improvements. Matt was very patient with me and explained what the training process involves and the fact that it takes time to make significant improvements. However, about 4 months later, my colleague told me my speech is a lot clearer than before. I have built up the confidence in my English speech and I really appreciate Matt’s help on this and his patience in in teaching me.”
