About Veronika
Hello, I'm Veronika!
I'm a TEFL certified teacher. I've got over a decade of experience with 1-on-1 teaching of general English, including several years of experience teaching the Modern RP/General British and the General American accent to students of all ages and levels. With a background in music, I can hear the smallest of nuances when a student is struggling to produce a particular sound, an intonation pattern, etc.
EDUCATION and WORK EXPERIENCE:
- Master's Degree in English Philology
- Qualifi Level 5 Diploma in TEFL
- courses for accent coaches
- general courses on British dialects
- creating content and audio for pronunciationstudio.com
ME:
Since my motto is 'Do what you love, love what you do' 🩵, I've managed to combine my two great passions; music and English, and made a career out of it!
When I'm not working, you'll find me out running, or at home singing, playing the piano or the guitar.
GUILTY PLEASURE: Coronation Street and coffee (in this order)

IS IT FOR ME?
- Does your accent prevent you from speaking with confidence?
- Are you an ACTRESS/ACTOR preparing for casting?
- Are you an ESL tutor and your students have better pronunciation than you do?
- Are you a proud owner of a C2 certificate, but get uncomfortable when foreigners and native speakers have difficulty understanding you?
- Do you still confuse "course" with "curse" or say "sink" instead of "think"?
If you can relate to even one of these, you've come to the right place! Thanks to my extensive experience and a trained musical ear, I can help you with your accent (be it a foreign or a too-strong native one) and help you communicate more clearly, build confidence in speaking or improve understanding.
WHAT WILL YOU HELP ME WITH?
- with pronunciation (so, what's the deal with "course" and "curse", then?)
- with voice placement (how come the English and Americans sound different? )
- with your anxiety when speaking (you won't have to hide behind your children when on holiday! )
- with preparing for a role (Are you a British actor who needs the General American accent for a role? )
- with listening (do you ever wonder WHY you find it so hard to understand natives?)
METHODS USED:
- I work mostly with my material, which I record audio for myself, but also with various websites, textbooks, and recordings with native speakers ️
- material is always uploaded in Google Classroom
- we'll do drills and train your muscle memory (yes, accent softening is like learning how to ride a bike or play a musical instrument)
- we do shadowing (imitate native speakers), we speak, we play with various recordings and music in a language!
LESSONS (60-min):
All lessons start with speaking; I evaluate your progress and check how much you've practised outside of class. Then, warm-up exercises follow; these usually include things we worked on previously (sounds, stress, intonation, etc.) tongue twisters, or consonant clusters. After that, there’s the main body of the lesson. At the end of each lesson, there’s either speaking (practising of what we’ve just learnt) or shadowing/mirror reading. Each lesson is TAILORED to the student’s needs and can differ.

When I first read about Veronika, I knew she was the right teacher for me. Her lessons are enjoyable, engaging, and well-structured. She has an incredible ability to identify exactly where I'm struggling and knows how to help me improve. Not only does Veronika speak with an impeccable RP accent, but she also has a real talent for teaching it. Thanks to her guidance, I've made noticeable progress, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their pronunciation and spoken English.
Veronika is not only a professional who loves her job. She is kind, supportive, and always able to find the best way to explain exactly what you need to learn or improve.
I’ve been working with Veronika for a couple of weeks, and even in such a short time I can feel a real difference. We’re focusing on American accent training, and I’m honestly amazed by how precisely she hears every tiny nuance in my pronunciation.
Her lessons feel personal, well‑structured, and genuinely enjoyable. She gives me great materials and excellent recordings I can use to practice at home, which makes it much easier to stay consistent and actually hear my progress.
What I appreciate most is how quickly she understands what’s happening in my speech. She can immediately tell what I’m doing wrong, why it’s happening, and how to fix it. Her explanations are clear and patient, even when we’re working on subtle details like tongue placement, tone, rhythm, or the overall feel of the accent.
Veronika is warm, encouraging, and incredibly skilled. I genuinely look forward to every lesson. I’d recommend her to anyone who doesn’t want to settle for “I speak English well enough,” but wants to sound natural and confident — especially in those moments when a native speaker’s first reaction tends to be: “Where are you from? You have an interesting accent…”See more recommendations
