I specialize in helping professionals and serious learners develop clear, natural American English through focused accent reduction and pronunciation coaching.
With 15 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist, I work on American accent refinement, pronunciation precision, rhythm, and intelligibility so you can communicate confidently in professional and high-stakes situations.
My approach is structured, practical, and results-focused. If your goal is to improve English pronunciation, refine your accent, and elevate your professional communication clarity, you’re in the right place.Me as a Teacher
I’m supportive, attentive, and practical in my approach. I pay close attention to how you speak and help you understand exactly what small adjustments will make the biggest difference in your clarity. My lessons & teaching style
Our lessons are structured but relaxed. You’ll always know what we’re working on and why. I believe real progress comes from focused practice, clear feedback, and consistent repetition.
My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable experimenting with new speech patterns while building confidence step by step.My teaching material

2008 - 2010
Master's - Speech-Language & Hearing SciencesIn 2010, I earned a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, where I gained advanced training in diagnosing and assessing communication challenges across diverse populations. This program emphasized the importance of cultural and linguistic differences in how people communicate with a strong emphasis on bilingualism.
2006 - 2008
Bachelor’s - Speech-Language & Hearing SciencesI hold a bachelor's degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, which gave me a strong foundation in human communication. I studied phonetics, language development, speech disorders, and audiology—building a deep understanding of how speech and language work. This background plays a key role in how I teach pronunciation, grammar, and accent reduction in a clear and effective way.

Amanda is amazing!!! I came to her for accent improvement and I learned so much already after one lesson! You can tell she knows what she's doing. Gave me so many great pointers. Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to more lessons and I'm sure I'll see the progress very soon with you.

My son really enjoyed his first class with the speech therapist Amanda. He felt comfortable right away, and I could already see how engaged he was during the session. Amanda has a warm, professional approach that makes learning both fun and effective. We’re excited to continue the lessons and confident that our son will make great progress with her support. Highly recommended.
