About Me

Hello! I love to help my students improve their pronunciation! It gives me a really good feeling to help my students. :)Me as a Teacher
I have a very calm and encouraging teaching style. It's very important to me that my students feel comfortable as it will help them learn pronunciation much better. :)My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method is as follows:
Step 1: Choose one sound to improve. There are 44 sounds in American English, and the most important to pronounce accurately are: the "R" sound, the "short i", and the "short a".
Step 2: Learn how to create the sound. Know what your tongue and mouth should be doing.
Step 3: Drill the sound with the IPA until it is comfortable.
Step 4: Learn the most common words that use your target sound.
Step 5: Practice simple sentences using the most common words.
Step 6: Advanced practice (paragraphs, minimal pairs, tongue twisters etc).
Step 7: Test the sound again. Do you still need more practice?My teaching material

Easily one of the best sessions I’ve had so far. Sylvie is an amazing and patient teacher. She gave constructive feedback and customised the learning plans based on my needs. She went above and beyond for a trial session. Grateful to have found her!
