"Matt's friendly and professional teaching approach puts me at complete ease during lessons. He is very patient and offers me a tailor made lesson based on my strengths and weaknesses. I have every confidence in saying in the next few months my accent shall improve under his teaching. I would strongly recommend his teaching to anyone who needs a good teacher and a bit of comedy to keep you entertained during lessons!" Aldrich Sawbwa (Sawbwa Consulting) and Kung Fu Fitness founder from the Far East.

 

"I have had classes with Matt in RP pronunciation for more than 8 months and have been very pleased with the result. I have found Matt through internet without any previous recommendation when I was looking for an accent tutor. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but Matt turned out to be an excellent teacher. Matt has a great talent for accents and a very good ear for slightest shades of sound. He is able to detect very fine deviations from the “right” way of pronouncing words and is always working to achieve the “perfect” sound rather than simply “acceptable”. I really like such high standards. Matt was very flexible at his approach trying to find the best method of teaching that was suitable to my particular situation. Matt helped me understand not only the mechanics of RP pronunciation but also the “philosophy” of it, the general approach to sound formation and intonation that is different from my native Russian or American accent in English that I had before. Matt’s knowledge of German and his ability to perform many different English accents help him a lot to understand potential difficulties a foreign student can face trying to make English sounds. I have learned a lot about English language in the way it is spoken and started to appreciate it much more. After 8 months of classes with Matt, I have noticed a significant improvement in my accent. Before, I was not able to speak with British accent at all. And now (although I still would like to keep improving) I see a great difference. Beside my progress in RP English, I also started to distinguish different UK accents and even got a better “conscious” understanding of various peculiar American sounds. In general, I am very pleased with my classes with Matt, I would be very happy to continue improving my accent with him further. Matt is very serious and thorough in his attitude as well as patient and flexible to meet students’ needs of convenient time place." Olga Antimonova, Metals markets analyst, Russia.

 

"I’ve had lessons with Matt for a year now and they have been great. He’s helped me neutralize my accent and acquire a modern RP sound. His approach will differentiate depending on your needs, so basically, he caters for you. You have the first lessons in which he basically listens to you and from then onwards he'll cover vowels, consonants, intonation, etc. He’s a patient teacher and welcomes your input and any ideas you might have (text you’d like to read for example). It’s been an enjoyable experience and he makes you feel at ease, which is essential when you are leaning anything new." Constanza Ruff Actress Mexico.
