About James

I trained as a speech coach before specialising in English pronunciation, so I work from sound production upward rather than asking you to imitate and hope.

The goal is never to erase your accent. It is clarity: stress, rhythm, and the handful of sounds that actually cause misunderstandings in your speech.

  • Sound audit in lesson one to find your five highest-impact fixes
  • Minimal-pair drills tied to words you use at work
  • Sentence stress and rhythm work using your own recordings

What we work on

  • Clarity diagnostics

    Identify which sounds genuinely reduce your intelligibility.

  • Stress & rhythm

    Where the beat falls in words, phrases, and questions.

  • Presentation voice

    Pace, pausing, and projection for talks and demos.
