The British RP accent is known as the Queens English. It is not used much in society today but it does feature more frequently in movies and on television shows so it’s worth taking a shot at it.

There’s nothing like a last minute job offer that includes an accent…when you’re not prolific with accents.  Luckily I found Sarah on IG, drawn in by her enthusiasm and rapid fire accents.  She did not disappoint.  Not only does she have a great technique for getting you into an accent quickly, you can tell she is invested in you doing a good job.  Looking forward to working with Sarah again on the next accent.

I can testify to the effort Sarah put into helping me in the course. I was about to give up on the course due to hearing difficulties, but Sarah decided to provide a way to help me overcome my challenges. I am better off now and feel good about what I’ve learned from her class. A good teacher is someone who won’t give up on you.
