Not sure which course is right for you?
Experience the power of the Serlin Method™ firsthand before you commit. In this 1-hour diagnostic session, we will identify your unique communication blocks, teach you two practical tools for immediate impact, and design a bespoke roadmap for your journey ahead.
If you’re not ready to book a Taster, or simply want to discuss your goals with one of our dedicated Customer Success Managers, schedule a free 15-minute Discovery Call.
No pressure, just honest advice on the right path for you.
Your course can be a 5, 10 or 15 session package. Each course is designed bespoke for you. You’ll receive a manual to be used alongside your sessions and you will have the full support of your coach and the LSW Head Office team during your course, as well as an online portal where you can manage your sessions.
Yes! We are not a cookie cutter one-size fits all approach. Our courses are made to fit you and never the other way round! The first step is a Discovery Call with one of our Client Success Managers so we can understand your communication goals. Then we recommend a coach that best fits your needs. In the taster or first session your coach will design a course programme tailored to your needs and goals.
Yes, if that is what suits your personal needs and will help you achieve your goals in the best way possible, then our coaches can certainly mix in elements of different courses for you.
Which course you choose is dependent on your goals as all of our courses can be personalised to your exact needs. If you’re not yet sure what you would like to focus on, then just select the “Not Sure” option when booking a Taster Session. After your Taster Session you will discuss what elements of our courses are best suited to your needs with your coach, who will then send you a course outline.
Our 5-session courses will cover all of the basics you need to transform your communication. Our 10-session courses ensure all tools can be explored more deeply as well as giving time for them to really sink in. Our 15-session courses allow you to really deep dive into the tools and techniques covered by the Serlin Method™ and give you ample opportunity to practise them with your coach.
The amount of sessions our Client Success Managers recommend completely depends on your personal goals and your learning style.
We recommend a minimum of 10 sessions for Accent Softening so that you have enough time to cover all of the sounds in neutral spoken English.
We have a unique trademarked method, the Serlin Method™, which is based on a foundation of psychology, neuroscience, performance & coaching. We teach proven communication tools that are simple to learn and yet have powerful effects. We’ve seen the results over the past 15 years and they are truly astounding. Our deeply empathetic 1:1 coaching is entirely bespoke and results-focused and built around your personal goals and budget, and designed to help you reach your highest potential.
We offer both remote coaching sessions, through Zoom, and face-to-face sessions in our central London offices (choose from 3 locations: Mayfair, Bank and Holborn). Some of our coaches offer regular weekly in person sessions (only in London) and all of our coaches offer regular sessions via Zoom. Face-to-face sessions are limited so we do recommend that you book in advance so you don’t miss out.
Our Accent Softening course is for non-native, fluent English speakers who feel their accent can get in the way of their communication. You will discover the specific ways your speech differs from neutral spoken English and locate sounds that your accent is holding tightly to. You will also work on your intonation in order to recreate the melody and rhythm of neutral English speech.
In this one-hour session, your coach will introduce two powerful tools: our Engagement Technique and Delivery Mastery tools. You’ll see their impact first-hand with a before-and-after video. You’ll start working towards clearer, more confident communication. The coach will assess your skills, discuss your strengths and weaknesses, and recommend a tailored course plan to help you reach your goals, whether that’s in 5, 10, or 15 sessions.
Elocution is for native English speakers who want to become clearer and more confident communicators. If you mumble, use fillers or drop your t’s and d’s then our Elocution course is just the thing to set you on the path to becoming a communication master!
Our Interview Power is a totally new approach to interview training that goes far deeper than eye contact and a firm handshake (which are still important first steps). We incorporate tools from coaching, performance and psychology, as well as classic interview training and bring it together in a seamless way that leads to tangible results. Our ultimate goal is to help you nail that interview and get that dream job!
Our Public Speaking course uses proven tools from our method so you can be a consistently powerful, confident and impactful public speaker and presenter. Depending on your specific goals, your coach will teach you how to write a speech that is authentic, inspiring and that engages your listeners. Learn to build connections with your audience using body language and vocal delivery techniques, both in person and online. We’ll have you up on that stage, nailing that wedding speech or pitching that idea effectively in no time.
All of our courses can be delivered virtually via Zoom with your coach. If you’re looking for independent online study, our popular Mastering The British Accent – Accent Softening and Confident Speaking 10-week online course is designed for non-native speakers and delivered via our eLearning platform. The course gives you access to videos, interactive exercises and quizzes to work through at your own pace.
The amount of sessions our coaches recommend completely depends on your personal goals and your learning style. For Accent Softening, we recommend a minimum of 10 sessions so that you have enough time to cover all of the sounds in neutral spoken English. We can cover the basics of our Effective Communication course in 5 sessions, but you have to be willing to put the work in alongside it. For our Interview Power course, you have the option to take a 2, 5 or 8-hour course.
All clients receive a PDF version of their manual attached to their welcome email. Hard copies are posted straight to you and included in the course prices.
If you live outside the UK, we will ask for payment to cover the cost of the postage.
Yes, 100%. Our coaches are best thought of as communication personal trainers. We can give you the tools and methods you require to transform your communication from work-in-progress to absolute master but, you need to be ready to put in the work to reach your goals.
Yes, our amazing coaches will set you homework between sessions. This usually takes the form of short and regular exercises that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine.
Most clients notice an immediate improvement after the Taster Session, where you’ll record a before-and-after to see the changes. Your communication journey with LSW involves four learning stages:
By the end of your course, aim for conscious competence, where you can use new skills with focus. Eventually, these skills become second nature, like driving. After mastering one aspect, you can tackle other communication skills, such as handling spontaneous questions. Your journey continues beyond the course, with access to discounted sessions as part of the LSW family.
This is really dependent on the individual child and their communication needs and goals, we usually review this on a case by case basis. We usually work with children aged 10 years old and above. If our coaches and director agree, we can make exceptions and coach children younger than this. Generally, children are so influenced by many external factors at a young age when it comes to their accent so we tend to recommend a minimum age of 15 for accent work. We usually recommend children have a go at some genre of theatre class first as this can help with confidence and communication – we particularly recommend LAMDA courses.
The Serlin Method™ looks at what we do when we are communicating at our best, physically, verbally and tonally – encouraging you to always put your best self forward. When supporting you to go to the next level in your communication, we work in three areas; how you speak, what you say and what your body says. It is simple, accessible and stimulating.
Although we work with lots of non-native English speakers, we do not teach the English language. You need to be either fluent or near-fluent in English in order to take any of our courses.
We offer three kinds of coach – Head, Principal and Senior.
Our Head Coaches hold decades of experience, are thought leaders in authentic communication, whose clients include CEO’s & C-Suite executives.
Our Principal Coaches have been working in the field of communication for upwards of 10 years.
Our Senior Coaches have at least three years experience in personal and professional coaching.
Both Principal and Senior coaches support clients who have management and leadership communication challenges such as increased gravitas and authority, connection and rapport, leadership presence and charisma.
We offer both remote coaching sessions, through Zoom, and face-to-face sessions in our central London offices (choose from 3 locations: Mayfair, Bank and Holborn). Some of our coaches offer regular weekly in person sessions (only in London) and all of our coaches offer regular sessions via Zoom. Face-to-face sessions are limited so we do recommend that you book in advance so you don’t miss out.

Our 1:1 courses can be completely bespoke and tailored to you. The Taster Session is a chance for your coach to identify your specific communication goals, and the challenges. Most people notice an immediate difference after just the initial Taster Session, so imagine the transformation at the end of 15 hour package.
If you are a non-native speaker then please know that you don’t have to compromise your identity to have true ownership over the language, the aim is not to become accent free, the aim is to show through the way you speak that you know how to operate and utilise the language like a pro. Our clients find that working with us on Accent Softening helps them speak in a way that boosts their confidence by reducing mistakes and misunderstandings – we want you to get all your amazing ideas out there as clearly as possible.
We don’t teach English grammar. Our coaches will correct you when you speak but this is not a language course so you’ll need to already speak either fluent or near-fluent English to do the course.
Our Principal Coaches, Gilly and Jamie, have experience working with people who stutter. While clients often report an improvement due to our powerful communication tools, it’s important to note that this is not a guaranteed outcome as our coaches are not speech and language therapists.
Our Principal Coach, Gilly, has experience working with people with a lisp. While our clients report improvements in their speech, our coaches are not speech and language therapists. You may wish to focus on Effective Communication with some sessions on the S/Z sounds to improve your communication across the board.
A Taster Session is a 60-minute session with one of our coaches (you can choose to have it in-person in Central London or remotely via Zoom). Your coach will listen to your goals and then teach you some incredibly powerful tools that you can use in your communication straight away. Your coach will also be able to assess your current skill level and recommend a course plan to achieve your goals, which is either 5, 10 or 15 sessions. A Taster Session with a Senior Coach is £175, with a Principal Coach is £235 and with a Head Coach is £295.
A free Discovery Call is a 15-minute call with a member of our incredible Client Success Team. You can use this to discuss the communication challenges you are coming up against, what your goals are and how our courses can help you. These calls are designed so that we can better understand your goals, priorities and values, ensuring we’re recommending a course that feels like it was made just for you.
In this 60-minute session, your coach will give you the full rundown of every single sound of neutral spoken English and where you currently are in relation to that sound. You’ll also learn our really powerful Engagement Technique, which will transform your clarity and ability to engage using some very simple steps. From there, your chosen coach will recommend a personalised 5, 10 or 15 session course plan for you depending on your goals.
