// IMPORTANT

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

[Mk.pasha]

I have watched your first video according to me you are best teacher

[Daniel.Urrutia]

It’s so funny that I am watching this video after literally 1 year since a former English teacher showed me one of your videos. I am a native Spanish speaker, so I think intonation is used quite similar in English, but I always enjoy watching your videos and listening to your pronunciation.

Btw, I am a big fan of the British accent 🫢. I live in Australia now, and it’s my second fav accent just after the British one.
