This is a personalised 1:1 pronunciation course designed to improve how you are understood in English. It combines practical English teaching with evidence-based techniques from speech and language work, giving you a structured and targeted approach to pronunciation.
Course structure
You will start with a full assessment to identify your key pronunciation features. After this, you will receive a brief report and recommended learning plan, including the number of lessons needed. Lessons then focus on your specific areas, with clear, practical work to help you improve your pronunciation and communication.
You will begin with an initial assessment, either online or in person. This helps identify the specific sounds and patterns that affect your clarity.
Based on this, you will receive a personalised report with clear goals and a recommended number of sessions with expected outcomes.
Each 60-minute session focuses on your individual needs.
You will work on:
You will also receive simple exercises and tips to help you continue improving between lessons.
Sessions are flexible and can be taken online or in person.
The number of sessions depends on your goals and starting point. We usually recommend beginning with a minimum of 3 sessions (3 hours total).
This allows time to:
You can then continue with further sessions to build consistency and confidence.
This new 1:1 pronunciation programme is delivered by Nicole Walsh, a qualified Speech and Language Therapist and experienced English teacher.
This combination is rare, and it brings a wider range of tools to pronunciation work. Nicole is able to approach pronunciation not only as a language system, but also as a physical process. This allows her to identify specific issues more precisely and provide targeted, practical solutions.
Drawing on both fields, Nicole supports learners to understand how sounds are produced, how patterns affect clarity, and how to make consistent, lasting improvements.
Many learners have already tried to improve their pronunciation through listening practice or repetition. These methods can help, but they do not always lead to clear and reliable change.
Nicole’s approach is more specialised, structured and individual. Each student begins with an assessment to identify the sounds and patterns that most affect their clarity. From there, a personalised plan is created for the following sessions.
In sessions, students work on:
There is also a clear focus on communication, helping students use their pronunciation more effectively in real situations. The aim is not to change your accent. The focus is on clarity and intelligibility, so you can be understood more easily and speak with greater confidence.
Lessons are delivered one-to-one, either online or in person. This allows Nicole to adapt each session to the learner’s needs, with regular feedback and clear direction for improvement.
For many learners, pronunciation is the final barrier to confident communication. With the right approach, it is possible to make meaningful progress.
This course offers a more specialised and targeted solution, led by a teacher with expertise across both language teaching and speech and language work.

IH is the best English school.Posted on Google Elba Vega28 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted this school on the recommendation of an English teacher from my country. I had an excellent experience with the school, because from the first day you could see the concern for their students. They evaluate you and place you in the appropriate grade level. You progress, and when appropriate, they move you up a grade. The teachers are excellent and dedicated to their students' learning.The staff will also be concerned about your needs. They promote an environment of respect and learning independent of the differences of each student. I only regret not being able to stay longer. I recommend this school without a doubt.Posted on Google 賜正憲22 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience at IH Manchester. All of the teachers were very supportive, and the classes were both practical and enjoyable. The school also offered a lot of opportunities to practice English outside the classroom, which really helped me to build my confidence. I’m very grateful for my time at IH Manchester and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their English in a friendly and professional environment.Posted on Google inna Grebeniuk21 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

An Amazing Place to Learn English When I first arrived, I couldn’t speak English, and at first, I felt a bit lost. However, thanks to the classes, the opportunity to talk with people of different levels, and the support of the incredible staff, I made great progress. Now, I can communicate in English with confidence. If anyone is looking for a great place to learn English, I highly recommend International house in Manchester. Everyone is very kind and understanding, always ready to help, whether it’s with studies or any personal needs. I never imagined that learning English could be so much fun, but they made it possible. Thank you so much for everything! I hope to visit again in the future and speak even better English!
