“I had the privilege to take a number of private lessons with Olga. I reached out to Olga after I came across one of her amazing books. In a nutshell, she is amazing and very effective. First of all, I learnt a lot about my speech and accent after a careful assessment that Olga administered.  Then, we worked on every issue in detail. Olga provides easy to follow explanations and also makes sure to let me speak a lot and then comment and correct. Just several lessons led to very substantial improvements. I recommend Olga to anybody who would like to master their English pronunciation, accent, and articulation without any reservations.”

“Dear Olga,
I wanted to follow up and extend my heartfelt gratitude once again for analysing my speech and pronunciation. Your expertise in elocution and English pronunciation has been immensely beneficial to me. The detailed feedback and practical tips you provided will surely make a positive impact on my speaking skills in the future.
Your clear and constructive insights have given me the confidence to continue improving my pronunciation. I truly appreciate your time and effort in helping me.”
Rafael Crego, an English teacher from Spain

“I am a native English speaker. But I decided to take elocution lessons in order to soften my Australian accent (and a nasal drawl that came with it) and acquire Received Pronunciation (RP). But elocution, as I knew, is not just about accent. I also wanted generally to maximise the power and expressiveness of my voice and to achieve my full potential in public speaking. This is particularly important to me because I am a barrister and so my voice is one of my main tools of trade.

I began with the excellent books and apps in the ‘Get Rid of Your Accent’ series. I then decided to take my voice training to the next level and seek out one-to-one tuition. Since I was so impressed by the approach in ‘Get Rid of Your Accent’, it made sense get in contact with one of the co-authors, Olga Smith, who, I saw, was also in the business of giving personal lessons.

Since taking up lessons with Olga Smith, it is no exaggeration to say that the change in my voice has been dramatic. I have now not only mastered all the sounds of RP, but eliminated bad (or at least suboptimal) habits in my speech, and my voice is more powerful, authoritative, expressive and interesting. There are huge benefits to one-to-one tuition and professional feedback on the idiosyncrasies of one’s voice that it affords. But beyond this, Olga’s particular approach and method is excellent and unique, for the following reasons.

  • First, the standard she sets is high. She uses traditional teaching methods employed to teach RP and speech in the top English drama schools to training actors (resulting in the rich voices and polished accents of top British actors, both past and present). I have researched other elocution providers and the conventional modern approach seems to be to water-down these high standards (perhaps driven by fashionable ideas that too high standards offend against egalitarian ideals). It seems that Olga’s traditional methods of elocution teaching are very difficult if not impossible to find elsewhere (at least outside drama schools).

  • ·Secondly, she really knows what she is talking about. She is very perceptive to the nuances of speech when giving feedback, and very knowledgeable about the techniques to make the voice powerful and expressive, and about methods for learning and acquiring new habits.

  • ·Thirdly, lessons with Olga are always enjoyable, with fun (and often funny) speaking exercises.  She has a warm and engaging personality which creates a real rapport between teacher and student.

I unreservedly recommend Olga as a teacher for anyone who is serious about improving their speech and achieving high standards with it.”
