COVID-19 is no obstacle to learning lipreading online.
However, facemasks have been the bane of our lives for quite a while now. Being deprived of lip shapes, expression and nuance denies so much information. It's time to either refresh our knowledge of visible lip patterns, or start to learn the...

In our lip reading lessons, we primarily focus on visible lip shapes. These are patterns on the lips which we can see with relative ease. However, some lip patterns are very difficult to see (unfortunately!)
With a little bit of application and expert 1-1 training, you can learn to spot cues that...

I looked many times for a lipreading tutor over the past year and was unable to find one in the US but was lucky enough in one of my searches to find Daryl Joyce in the UK and have been working remotely with him for several months. He is experienced, knowledgeable, professional and also able to bring some fun to the lesson material. Lipreading isn't easy but Daryl breaks it down in ways that allow me to be successful with each lesson and to see myself advancing. After a few months I am moving up into intermediate material and have a new sense of hope that I can actually cultivate this skill. I would highly recommend Daryl for private lipreading lessons!

My lipreading tutor was excellent - he always planned ahead for the sessions and tailored it for my interests and needs. As I was also learning lipreading at an advanced level and hope to teach this skill myself in the future, he was very helpful in demonstrating good teaching techniques. He has a really good sense of humour and is patient and kind in every lesson, there's no need to feel embarrassed at all if you make a mistake. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning lipreading with him and look forward to booking more lessons in the future.

Brilliant. This site was actually recommended to me by another lip reading teacher! Can’t think of a better way to learn to lip read than this. One to one. One He starts you off gently. teaches you the basics, you’re off and you’ve barely noticed it... Lessons are actually tailored to you. You never feel pressured - it’s fun and (thank goodness) you learn at your own speed. If you get a word wrong he explains how and why it’s easy to make the mistake before carrying on .. He’s patient and got a sense of humour. He slowly increases the difficulty as the lessons go on but by then you’re more confident and the challenge is fun. I love these lessons and he’s an excellent teacher."
