Hi, I’m interested in lessons to improve my clarity, reduce accent and eventually sound more British. Do you offer online lessons?

When I learned English it was strange because my natural accent was this one, the British accent... I still don't know how this is my natural accent since I'm Mexican, but maybe is because I had trouble with the "r", so you could say the Schwa sound saved me.

I had a rude CEO who tried to school me on my accent.....at meetings, he would draw me out and challenge the way I pronounced certain words. He was a complete jerk. I wanted to ask him how he pronounced "Folk Off"

My mother was raised in England and then emigrated to Canada. I was born in Canada and now as an adult, many people ask me about my 'accent'. It's so funny to think I have an accent, however I retain much of the British vocabulary: The boot, flat, underground and phrases such as, "give me a ring". I'm so glad I still have so much of my late mum in me! Love the British! Cheers from Canada

Thanks a lot. You've explained British pronunciation more precisely than other teachers. I love British accent but my pronunciation is more inclined to American English than British English as I am mostly exposed to American English because of media.
I was relentlessly searching for the differences between American and British English.
I intend to appear on IELTS exam very soon. Could you please make a video on British writing style (focused on spelling)?

In British English, flap T seems to exist. I’ve watched BBC speakers and noticed people using it in linking, for example bit of, let us, and it is. Is that correct, or am I hearing it wrong?
