1:1 Zoom Sessions - English Pronunciation Teacher Online

When you enrol in a Speech Active comprehensive, tailored English pronunciation course, you will also have a 1:1 Zoom session (30 minutes) that’s included in the enrolment. You can add more later if you wish. 

What’s in this awesome 1:1 Zoom session? 

– cover the language you need to use for work or study
– create a target word list audio recording for you to practice with
– get awesome 1:1 feedback
– make sure you’re clear on your priority areas for clearer, better English Pronunciation and spoken English
– ensure you’re getting the absolute more from your Speech Active online course
– get motivated!

Many people ask, why we only include one session. 

We only include one 1:1 Zoom session because each Speech Active course has been developed to give you everything you need to successfully master clear, excellent English pronunciation. 

Most people feel they get more than enough in depth teaching and practice from the online course and we also want to keep the course as affordable as possible.

We include one 1:1 live training session with one of our English Pronunciation teachers online to ensure you are on track, to answer questions and to get you motivated. 

What areas will Georgie, your online English pronunciation teacher assist you with?

With this online English pronunciation teaching session you’ll receive feedback on all areas of your English pronunciation that would benefit from improvement. These areas will include word stress, sentence stress and weak vowels (these make the rhythm and ‘music’ of English), English vowel sounds and English consonant sounds that you are leaving out or mispronouncing.

It’s likely that you’ll be mispronouncing or leaving out some vowels and consonant sounds in English. Usually this is because those sounds don’t exist in your first language. Many people need to improve other areas such as their pronunciation of word endings, consonant clusters and their use of a pronunciation of the past tense in English for example. 

Have a think about your goals – do you want to speak English more clearly? Is your goal to sound more like a native speaker? Maybe both?

It helps for your online English pronunciation teacher to know exactly what you are aiming for – so they can help adjust your target areas accordingly.

Speech Active’s unique combination of online English pronunciation video training, audio training and 1:1 teacher input gets the best results for our students.

We send you weekly emails to help you stay on track and remind you to log in and practice. 

Every minute helps : )

What Video Streaming We use Zoom for our 1:1 online English pronunciation teaching sessions  – but some people prefer to use Microsoft teams, Skype, WhatsApp or the phone. Either way, most people now have a good enough internet connection to be able to learn successfully from an English pronunciation teacher online using live video streaming. We usually  

WHY PEOPLE GET BETTER RESULTS WITH OUR ONLINE TRAINING THAN WE USED TO SEE WHEN WORKING WITH PEOPLE 1:1

The number one problem when people see English Pronunciation teachers face to face is that they rely on the teacher to point out their errors without developing the awareness to do it themselves. This is a missing link in the chain!

For many people, it’s hard to believe at first, that most students get better results from our online courses than 1:1 training. But when we explain why – they understand.

There are 2 main reasons why people get better results with online training than 1:1. 

The first reason is that with online training they engage more often. More regular practice means more improvement. With an online course like our, people practice with their video or audio each day or every few days at least. They are practicing more often – this gets vastly better results.

To change speech habits that have been in place for many years, regular practice is needed – daily practice is ideal. People who practice in the lesson with their teacher and then don’t do much between then and their next lesson won’t improve much at all. 

The second reason our students get better results from an online English pronunciation course is that in face to face sessions, MANY students rely on the teacher to point out their errors and to monitor their speech. It’s human nature. They aren’t actively listening and monitoring their own sounds and speech patterns. 

If they don’t learn to do this themselves, they don’t transfer their skills to outside the lesson room. In other words, they still make the errors in presentations and talking to their boss and they don’t realise, because they’ve been relying on their teacher to pick up their errors.

Our courses are designed for you to develop the essential skills of monitoring and controlling your own speech. This is what makes our training are so successful – you’ll  build the skills needed for developing your spoken English over the long term.  With our courses – you learn these essential skills.

 To improve pronunciation skills, you need to be able to control the sounds you make. If you are not aware, you cannot change and control them. 

With a Speech Active course we help you to become the master of your own pronunciation – so you can continue to improve your spoken English and pronunciation skills for years and years to come.  We want you to be speaking with your colleagues, managers, patients, clients and friends with confidence.
