Five sessions
A focused intervention around your highest-impact features.
Private accent and pronunciation coaching for advanced English speakers.
Sound more native.Speak with greater control.
One-to-one coaching in Wrocław for executives, public speakers, actors and professionals who want their English to sound more natural, precise and deliberate.
Choose a focused five- or ten-session programme designed around the features of your English that have the greatest impact on how you are heard.
What can change in five sessions?
Two or three high-impact features of your speech — identified, trained and integrated into your English.
Your first five sessions focus on the areas that make the greatest difference to how your English is heard. Depending on your speech and goals, that might mean particular vowels or consonants, word stress, rhythm, connected speech or another feature of your accent.
Ten sessions
More time to refine pronunciation, rhythm and connected speech, develop consistency, and apply the work to professional or performance situations.
A defined programme. A clear focus. Further coaching only if you want to take the work further.
Positioning
Native-like does not mean losing your voice.
You already speak English. Vocabulary, grammar and fluency may be entirely in place — and still the pronunciation, rhythm or accent may not quite reflect how you want to be heard.
Sounding more native is not a demand that you become someone else. It is the work of developing the features that make spoken English feel natural and effortless to listeners:
- Vowel and consonant systems
- Word stress
- Sentence stress
- Rhythm
- Intonation
- Connected speech
- Reductions and weak forms
- Voice quality
Your English is already strong. Now refine the way you sound.
For whom
For people whose voice carries responsibility.
The coaching is designed for advanced speakers whose English is already a working language — and whose voice is part of how they lead, present, perform or persuade.
Executives & leaders
For people whose voice is part of their professional presence — in boardrooms, negotiations, interviews and international meetings.
Public speakers & presenters
For speakers who want greater clarity, authority, naturalness and vocal control in front of an audience.
Actors & performers
For performers preparing a British accent, a regional dialect, a character voice, an audition or a role.
Entrepreneurs & founders
For people presenting ideas, leading teams, appearing in media or communicating with international clients and investors.
Academics & lecturers
For professionals who need to communicate complex ideas clearly and naturally to international audiences.
Advanced English speakers
For people who already speak English confidently but want to sound more native-like in everyday and professional communication.
Coaching paths
Three directions. One individual programme.
The path is chosen with you, not applied as a template. The first session maps your voice and the work begins at once.
Make your English feel more natural.
Reduce first-language influence. Refine pronunciation, rhythm, stress and connected speech.
- Vowels and consonants
- Word and sentence stress
- Weak forms and reductions
- Connected speech and intonation
Choose the British English you want to speak.
Standard Southern British — contemporary RP — or another clearly named British accent.
- SSBE / contemporary RP
- Vowel quality and linking
- Target intonation
- Named in session one
British English has never been just one accent.
A particular regional or social variety, chosen deliberately.
- London / Estuary
- Yorkshire, Geordie, Scouse
- West Country, Scottish, Welsh English
- Other defined varieties
High-stakes speaking
When your voice is part of the performance.
The work can be shaped around the moments in which the way you speak matters most — a keynote, a pitch, an audition, a role. It is not acting training, unless you are preparing an accent or a part.
Keynote presentations
Conference talks
Investor pitches
Interviews
Media appearances
Leadership communication
Public lectures
Auditions
Rehearsals
Filmed or recorded performance
Important meetings
Negotiations
Pricing
Private coaching, clearly priced.
Pricing reflects individual preparation, detailed analysis, personalised materials and feedback between sessions. This is specialist work, not hourly tutoring.
What you receive
- Individual sessions of up to 50 minutes
- Speech analysis from session one, with IPA mapping
- A personalised PDF training plan, updated throughout
- Targeted exercises and model recordings of the coach’s voice
- Three short recordings of your own each week
- Listening and plan updates between sessions
The fee covers the coaching, preparation, personalised materials and work between sessions — not simply time spent in the room.
The session
Sessions are scheduled for up to 50 minutes. If productive vocal work has reached its natural limit earlier, we stop. The aim is useful practice, not filling the clock.
Practice between sessions
You receive model recordings, targeted exercises and a personal training plan. Each week you submit three short recordings, so practice stays consistent and progress can be followed between sessions.
Method
A programme built around you.
There is no generic pronunciation syllabus, because no two speakers have the same pronunciation profile. The work is analytical, practical and cumulative.
-
01
Map
Session one is recorded. Your current vowel and consonant system is mapped using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and the sounds that need work are named.
-
02
Begin
Accent work starts in that same session, immediately after the assessment. There is no waiting for a later lesson.
-
03
Train
The coaching targets high-impact sounds in your own speech — not a generic accent template.
-
04
Practise
You receive homework and recordings of the coach’s voice. You send three recordings of your own each week, for accountability and monitoring — not for grading.
-
05
Update
Your personal PDF training plan is reviewed and updated throughout. Recordings continue in every session.
Why this work
Not another English lesson.
This is not general English tuition or conversation practice. It is private specialist coaching in pronunciation, accent, spoken delivery and the way English is heard.
- IndividualBuilt around your speech — never a group syllabus.
- SpecialistPronunciation, accent and delivery — not general English.
- Between sessionsA living plan, model recordings, and practice that is actually followed.
The coach
Alexander Gaskell
A British native English speaker, based in Wrocław, working with advanced speakers who want greater control over how they sound.
Alexander is an experienced English educator, with years of training and experience specifically in pronunciation, accent and spoken delivery. The coaching is individual, analytical and practical.
The coach speaks Polish. That is particularly useful when working with Polish speakers: the phonetic differences between Polish and English, and the patterns that transfer from one language into the other, can be addressed with precision rather than guesswork.
The first session
We record you. Then we begin.
Session one is not a trial, and it is not sold separately. It is the opening of the programme you have booked.
- Your speech is recorded
- Your current vowel and consonant system is mapped using the IPA
- The sounds that will change how you come across are named
- Accent work begins in the same session
There is no separate assessment to book. You enquire, a five- or ten-session programme is arranged, and the work starts in session one.
Session one
Assessment, then accent — in the same hour.
Recordings throughout. Homework from the first week.
