Testimonials

The Smiths English promise of delivering high quality lessons ''Anywhere, Anytime'' sits very true with my experience of taking lessons with Francesca via Skype. I am a professional woman living in the States who speaks English as a second language. Although I speak English with much clarity and fluency, I have always wished to discover my ''English voice'' and have always wondered how I would have sounded with a true British accent had I been living in England from an early age. Through much research, I discovered Francesca's site and after having viewed some of her video lessons, I became convinced that she would be the perfect elocution teacher for me. However I was not quite sure whether taking lessons via Skype would be just as useful as having lessons in person. My concerns proved to be completely unfounded as I have benefited greatly from my online Skype sessions with Francesca. She has the keenest hearing and a superbly-trained ear for picking up the sound and voice issues in her student's speech. From the very first words you speak with Francesca she gets busy on identifying the sounds which need polishing and improvement and prepares a study plan to meet your specific needs. The clarity and the ease at which my lessons have been conducted, makes me almost forget that during the lessons we are in two different continents. Francesca is the ultimate professional with such a delightful personality that makes taking lessons with her an enjoyable, fun and interesting experience with true results even after the first session. I thoroughly recommend taking online lessons via Skype with Francesca at Smiths English.

I have always wanted to work on softening my accent and I was pleased when I found Francesca. She proved to be an excellent teacher! I particularly liked her patience and her creativity; how she was able to explain the same thing in many ways until I totally got it.

She not only taught me how to pronounce words clearly but she helped a lot with grammar questions as well. She continuously checked me, pointing out the strong and weak points in my speech, making it possible to work on the things I needed the most.

As a result of our lessons, my speech has become significantly clearer and I gained more confidence. I now find it easier to speak in front of other people because I am no longer afraid that they will not understand my accent.

I would definitely recommend Francesca to anyone who would like to learn to speak more clearly!

I have contracted Francesca on many occasions in the last three years to provide bespoke English tuition to my clients. The feedback has in all cases been extremely positive, emphasising Francesca’s unfailing professionalism, enthusiasm and reliability. Francesca has always been totally flexible in adapting the tuition to cover a wide range of abilities, backgrounds and requirements and in fully satisfying all of my requirements.
