About Nicole

With my background in theatre as a trained actress in Speech & Drama at the prestigious Arts Educational Schools, London, I love to work with the voice and how it presents. As a certified tutor with a Level 5 diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, these worlds go hand in hand because it allowed me to work with many different international accents. Through this I was asked by many of my students to specifically work on their pronunciation and smooth out difficulties from their native accent to speak English well. These tended to be more advanced speakers and I thoroughly enjoyed this aspect of language and communication and have since specialised in these lessons of accent reduction/softening.

In a relaxed and comfortable environment I will take you through how to create the sounds of modern Received Pronunciation to enable you to speak clearly and confidently in English. These are bespoke lessons created for your personal goals. I use the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) so you can become familiar with symbols to enable you to become more independent when reading English in the future. Having trained as a professional actress and singer I know how important it is to use and understand the voice. The speech muscles are exercised and this allows an ease with which to produce the tricky English sounds which you may be struggling with. These elocution techniques will be implemented into phrases and sentences which you can practise at home which really lets you progress to the next level in each lesson. Throughout we will cover rhythm of speech, connected speech, word stress and intonation. These will all feel natural to use when understood and practised. My lessons are one hour and you will be provided with audio files to easily play and repeat after when at home, along with PDFs of that particular lesson. Courses of 5 or 10 sessions, have a lower rate than that of a single session.

  • Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

    I was born in England, so am a native!
  • Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    Charles Dickens - he describes cold weather and winter so well.
  • Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behavior in the language that you particularly like?

    Bloody hell! It's expressive and can be very satisfying in the right context.
  • Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    Because I've learnt it from birth and the only one I speak! (Always intending to learn another......)
  • What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

    The different spellings for the same pronunciations
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

    The discovery of reading books as a child and disappearing into a world of your own. Enid Blyton was a favourite because of her magical tales and ability to create such great cliff hangers in each chapter, so you couldn't put it down! I read many of them to my own children and they still held the same anticipation for them. I think the greatest gift is to be able to read and go to a different zone in your head.
  • How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

    I am always grateful and so impressed that so many people around the world take the time to learn English. It's very humbling when travelling and different cultures and people speak my language to me.
  • What makes you a Superprof in language?

    I love English and thoroughly enjoy sharing the sounds of modern RP to be said correctly. Which is why it's a joy to coach motivated people who want to embrace English speech and pronunciation.
