Confident Conversation and Pronunciation
How satisfying would it be to look as intelligent and relaxed in English as you do in your first language - and to feel as confident!
English lesson content designed for you
Many Speak Better English clients are professionals or executives who are moving towards exactly that goal; the role of the English language tutor then becomes to develop interesting, relevant materials to help you practice English conversation and expand your vocabulary so that you can express yourself spontaneously and precisely, no matter what the situation and take your professional English or business English to the next level..
Pronunciation and accent reduction
A major part of confidence in speaking another language is having clear, accurate pronunciation. It will change the way you feel and how people view your English ability and react when speaking to you, so their face changes from a confused look to a smile! It can change your life, improving your English pronunciation! A private native-speaker tutor can help you pronounce sounds and words correctly and monitor your progress with feedback and self-study exercises to practice in between lessons. Areas covered include:
- the 44 sounds of English
- clear pronunciation of difficult sounds
- word stress and sentence stress practice for strong and weak sounds
- focus on intonation and rhythm
- learn how to link between words for a native-speaker sound and fluency
Regular lessons to progress
Regular training sessions with a friendly, experienced and committed private English tutor will provide the structure needed for the repeated practice you need to improve your English language skills -but rarely actually do on your own!

Melbourne scientist, Melvin Lee, presenting his team's product at the Australia-China Entrepreneurs 'Pitch Night at the Melbourne Town Hall in October 2016. After one-on-one coaching by Speak Better English tutor Sally Landers, Melvin delivered one of the three successful presentations, resulting in a trip to China to find investors, a market, and manufacturers for his team's product, Synermatic, a "smart" system for healing diabetic wounds.
Simon Crunden, a public and private sector businessman born in Queensland, commented:
" I am a consultant...I had always struggled with the basics of good writing - where to use a comma, hyphen, semi-colon, apostrophe, etc. ...After a few sessions [with my SBE tutor], my understanding of how to use grammar improved dramatically. It has opened up a whole new world to me, unleashing capabilities I never knew I had. "
Business Writing
How can I improve?
You may have great ideas, but if you don't write them well, these ideas may come to nothing. SBE English teachers have hundreds of years' experience between them, teaching people how to get their ideas across to their audience!
Learn the building blocks and mechanics of English:
- You might need to refresh your grammar so that you can feel confident that your emails don't look unprofessional to your colleagues and clients.
- Perhaps you need some advice on how to structure emails, reports or write tenders for funding, where so much depends on your skill to persuade your reader that you know what you are doing!
- Or it could just be that you have difficulty with correct word choice in finding the words or combination of words to say exactly what you mean.
We can help with all these things, whether you speak English as a second language, or were born in Australia. And when you build these skills, you won't need us anymore!
