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.
