Standard
Southern
British accent
My accent is often referred to Standard Southern British (SSB) English. It’s mostly spoken in the south-east of England. SSB is the probably the most recognised English accent in the UK, and perhaps even outside the UK.If you live in the UK or are planning to move to the UK, and want to understand and be understood by everyone, then SSB is the pronunciation you want to learn. And if so, this course is also for you!

About me
Hey, my name is Sandro. I’m an English teacher and content creator.
I’ve been teaching for over 12 years and have helped thousands of students to speak English with confidence, clarity and ease.
You may know me from my social media channel English with Sandro. If you’ve watched any of my videos, you know I like to keep everything clear, short and effective. And, when possible, funny too 😀
My pronunciation course is like that too! After all, it’s still me teaching you. Trust me, I know the challenges and thoughts you might have when you need to speak English out loud. I’ve seen it in so many students and I’ve felt it as a language learner myself.
My goal has been and still is this: to teach you to sound more clear and fluent in English.
I’ll teach you all the tips and tricks that you need to improve your English pronunciation, but I also know learning and speaking a language is about confidence. This is why I spend a lot of time building your confidence so that you can progress in English on your own.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
