It's not usually helpful when somebody shouts! Upping the volume does not assist the lip reader. Far better to focus on making nice, clear lip shapes and ensuring that you are in good light. It doesn't harm to check understanding, either!

It takes time to become a proficient lipreader, it doesn't happen in a few sessions. Having a dedicated, private tutor will accelerate your learning, meaning you can put this useful skill to work sooner rather than later.

When we are learning #lipreading, we do not have to concern ourselves with spelling (which comes as a relief to many). We are much more interested in the shapes the sounds make on the lips.

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."

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.
