Passage Sessions
Your Written Diagnostic Report showed you where the friction is.
Now you know which sounds are getting in the way and why they matter for how clearly you come across.
The question is what to do about it.
Working through the passage together
Passage Sessions are three live sessions where we work through your diagnostic passage - the same text you recorded - paragraph by paragraph.
This isn't drilling sounds in isolation. We work through the text as a piece of writing: what the words mean, why the writer chose them, how the rhythm of the sentence shapes the pronunciation. Comprehension and pronunciation work together. When you understand what you're reading, the sounds come more naturally - and the changes last because they're connected to something real.
Each session is 45 minutes. One paragraph per session.
What happens in a session
We read together. I listen for the sounds your report identified - and for anything new that comes up. When something needs attention, I stop and explain what's happening: where your tongue is, how the air moves, what your mouth is doing differently from what English expects.
Then we practise. Sometimes that's repeating a word until the sound sits right. Sometimes it's a short drill built from real vocabulary - words you already know, rearranged so you're producing the target sound in every possible combination. Sometimes it's stepping back and understanding what a word actually means, because comprehension changes how you say it.
Between sessions, you get a written homework document covering the sounds we worked on. Practice sentences built from the most common English vocabulary, minimal pairs to train each sound in context, success criteria so you know what to listen for, and a reference page on how to make each sound if you need to come back to it. A few minutes a day across the week is more useful than one long session.
Before and after
After the final session, you re-record the diagnostic passage. We compare your score with where you started.
You hear the difference. The data confirms it.
What this is for
Passage Sessions are for anyone who wants to work on their pronunciation with live feedback, real conversation and a measurable result at the end - whether you've had a Written Diagnostic Report or you're starting fresh.
Haven't had a Written Diagnostic Report? You can book Passage Sessions directly. In our first session you'll read the full diagnostic passage so I can hear what's getting in the way, we'll work on the first paragraph together, and you'll leave with homework based on what I heard.
Three sessions. £325 total.
Going further
Some clients want to keep going after the three sessions. A longer-term development programme is in design - details on request, or we can talk about it when we're working together. Each path is shaped by what your sessions revealed.
Questions
Do I need a Written Diagnostic Report first?
No, though it's the easiest way in. If you've had a report, we start from what it found. If you haven't, you can book directly: in our first session you'll read the full passage so I can hear what's getting in the way, and we'll start work that same session.
What if my report only found one or two things?
That's fine - and quite common at higher levels. Fewer patterns means we can work in more depth on each one, which typically produces a bigger shift in how you sound.
Can I do the sessions online?
Yes, all sessions are online via Zoom. You'll need a quiet room and a reasonable internet connection.
How far apart should the sessions be?
One per week works best. That gives you time to practise between sessions without losing momentum.
What happens if I want to keep going after three sessions?
We can discuss the 6-month programme, or you can book another set of Passage Sessions with a different diagnostic text. The approach adapts to where you are.
The report comes first.
£95 - one recording, one report, a clear picture of what's getting in the way.
