When I first reached out to Jamie, my goal was to feel more confident in speaking and pronouncing words, so I could create my own videos and post them on social media. Before we started, I didn’t feel confident presenting at work or speaking on camera or in voiceovers, partly because I had the mindset that my English speaking and pronunciation were really bad.

A lot has changed since I started working with Jamie. I’m much more aware of how to pronounce words correctly, especially the "th" sounds. In addition, my rhythm has improved, and I’ve realized that correct pronunciation is not that difficult. It is more about overcoming a perfectionist mindset that kept holding me back.

After 12 weeks, speech to text caption tools can now detect almost 95% of my pronunciation correctly, compared to just about 65% before. This has helped a lot with video content creation and in my coaching career.

Jamie’s coaching was fully customized to my pronunciation issues and personal goals. He took the time to understand my background and mental blocks, which made me feel heard and supported throughout the journey. The homework was tailored to my goals, and he reviewed it meticulously.

He was also very generous in sharing knowledge and resources, which made me feel like a VIP. Jamie is one of those rare coaches who truly loves his job and generously shares his expertise and delivers massive value.

If you're like me, where English is not your native language, and improving your English pronunciation is one of your bucket list goals, I highly recommend hiring Jamie as your coach. What you will gain is not just correct English pronunciation, but also the confidence you build along the way. That confidence helps you rediscover your self worth and realize just how many new possibilities open up once you overcome your fear of speaking English.

Thank you!

Before coaching, my goals included being able to hold extended conversations about more complex and abstract topics, and I felt I didn’t have enough confidence to speak English, especially in a professional capacity.

I have noticed improved fluidity, massive mindset shifts on several different fronts and overall increased confidence in my ability to attempt to discuss any topic.

This has had a huge impact on how I view my linguistic and communicative ability — a confidence I hadn’t had before, but am certain I could carry over to my personal and professional life.

I massively appreciate all the thought-provoking questions Jamie poses and how they have managed to challenge me into properly thinking through ideas before expressing them. I believe there has been genuine acknowledgement of my interests, ideas and the type(s) of topics I find interesting and stimulating.

Jamie’s feedback on my pronunciation has also been most instructive and proved necessary, e.g. in areas such as intonation and word stress.

His overall temperament is very cool, calm, and collected, in every sense of the word. That is precisely what learners are looking for in a coach, as it helps them build confidence in him and, in time, themselves.

To anyone considering working with Jamie — I’d say that his coaching is most useful, his delivery is brilliant, and his subject knowledge when it comes to pronunciation is impressive. His coaching is a great choice if you are looking to find your confidence, refine your pronunciation and/or change your relationship with English and consequently, with yourself.

When I started sessions with Jamie, my main goal was to build confidence in public speaking in English. I wanted to improve my pronunciation and fluency, specifically in British English, so that I could deliver HR-related content clearly and confidently to a global audience at work, and through video content on social media.

Before our sessions, I didn’t feel very confident in public speaking, and I hadn't tried recording any videos because I wasn’t confident about my pronunciation and speaking skills in English.

After 12 weeks, I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my pronunciation. My speech has become more fluent and has developed a natural British sound, and these changes have played an essential role in shaping my personal brand. While I have always been confident in my HR expertise, I can now express and deliver content in English much more naturally and effectively. My speech sounds clearer and more understandable to a global audience, and I am also much more confident in my public speaking and in front of the camera.

I've received a lot of positive comments about my presentations and communication skills from colleagues and local employers.

When guests from the UK meet me in the hotel, they often ask if I used to live in the UK, and they highlight how natural my English sounds. I’ve received many compliments from my video content audience as well. I’ve felt really happy and proud to hear this feedback.

The consistent WhatsApp support has also been very helpful and reassuring, and I appreciate that he responds so promptly and with such a high level of attention. Even during tough work deadlines I feel supported, as Jamie makes sure to arrange lessons according to my schedule.

Jamie’s qualities as a person are excellent as well. He is a true professional, and is very knowledgeable in pronunciation and public speaking. He is very friendly and kind, which created a comfortable and enjoyable environment, so I always looked forward to our sessions. He has a great sense of empathy and truly understood me, and he understands cultural differences easily, thanks to his international mindset.

Working with heads or professionals in any business can be challenging, and satisfying them is not easy. Thank you for everything and for your dedication. Working with you has not only improved my public speaking skills, but has also positively influenced my confidence, personal brand and career goals, and I have now successfully realised my video content projects in English.

Thank you so much!

The thing I was most surprised by in working with Jamie was the high quality of materials that he provided. Jamie gave me full access to his online pronunciation video course, and I was very pleased with these materials that he provided. I didn’t think that this kind of quality material would be included in coaching, and I feel like I got more than what I paid for.

With Jamie’s guidance, I knew exactly what to work on each week between our sessions. I appreciated being able to use the videos and shadowing material whenever I had time between coaching sessions, and I believe that this made me progress faster. I also appreciate having access to them forever, in case I want to review anything in the future.

The biggest effect of working with Jamie has been on my confidence in speaking. This is especially important for me as I live in the UK and I need to use English all day at work. Before, when I wasn’t as sure how to pronounce things, I had a tendency to be quieter in some situations in English.

I feel like I’ve discovered my own voice in English, or another version of my own voice, and I’m excited to continue and see what happens in the future.
