Clear Speech Coaching レビュー 7

Tom is a great coach who offers high-quality training sessions that helped me, as a native Spanish speaker, overcome several misconceptions and difficulties I had when speaking English.

The customized sessions helped me improve different aspects of pronunciation and connected speech.

Some of the areas we covered that I found especially valuable were:

-Consonant sounds such as “r”, “s”, “sh”, “j”, and “dr”/“tr”
-Intonation and using a wider pitch range
-Understanding the vowel space
-Increasing my awareness of word- and sentence-level stress

Letting him know my specific concerns, goals, and preferred learning style made a big difference, and this is one of the reasons his sessions worked for me. I would certainly come back for further improvement.

I really enjoyed the British accent coaching course with Tom. The lessons were personalised and practical, especially the feedback on my own recordings.

I noticed improvements in my vowels, word stress, intonation and rhythm. I also feel more confident and easier to understand when speaking English.

Tom’s teaching style was clear, supportive and easy to follow. I would recommend to anyone who wants to improve their British pronunciation!

Tom has been my accent coach for a few months, and the experience has been incredibly rewarding. While my English pronunciation was already quite solid, I wanted to take it a step further and sound more like a native speaker—specifically with an American accent. I was curious about what truly makes the accent sound the way it does.

Even though Tom is from the UK, he tailored the sessions so well that I often forgot he wasn’t American. His knowledge of the language and of regional accents in the U.S. is impressive, and he explains everything in a clear and engaging way.

What I appreciated most is how he combined insight with practical training. I learned how much accents depend on how you use your tongue and speech muscles, and I now feel a much stronger connection between my mind and the way I speak. It has made a real difference in how natural my accent sounds.

Tom is also very flexible in his approach. When one method didn’t suit me, he quickly adapted and introduced exercises that worked much better for me, which made the sessions both effective and enjoyable.

I can highly recommend Tom to anyone who wants to improve their pronunciation and feel more confident speaking English. It’s not just helpful—it’s genuinely fun.

Tom is professional and helped me a lot with professional and daily communication. We had lessons for 2 years.

I've had lessons with Tom for almost 2 years. The accent training lessons were nicely tailored based on your own native language background and for your need as well. We practiced a lot on different vowels and did a lot of exercise with recordings. The feedback on the recordings is very valuable and very much detailed. We zoomed into these recordings and analysed the diffs between us and iterated on them. My feeling is that Tom's linguistic background very much helps with this kind of training in a very professional way.

After these lessons, I feel I've learnt a lot about what you can do to make your accent different and definitely more confident and aware of my way of pronouncing.

Unfortunately because of lack of personal time I had to stop the lessons but I really hope I can resume the lessons with Tom and continue exploring accents.

I’ve had several lessons with Tom over the past few months, and my son also had a lesson with him.

I took a pronunciation course with Tom for a few months this year and was really happy with his approach. He tailored everything to my needs. I have a strong accent and struggle with intonation, often stressing the wrong words, so he taught me a simple hand‑movement technique, opening my hands like a flower on the important word, which helped me a lot.
Those small, personalised strategies made a real difference. I highly recommend him.
