Kids and teens: confident English through stories

About me
Sound clearer, slow down and own the room.
My background is in theatre and voice coaching, which is unusual for an English teacher and very useful for you. We work on the physical side of speaking: breath, stress, rhythm and the specific vowel sounds your first language makes difficult. I record short clips so you can hear your own progress, and I give you a two-minute daily drill that fits into a coffee break.

Marcus found the two sounds I had been mispronouncing for years. Recordings make the progress obvious.
