Accent Reduction & American English Pronunciation Coach | CELTA-Certified | 14+ Years Experience I specialize in American English pronunciation and accent reduction for intermediate and advanced learners who want to speak clearly, naturally, and with absolute confidence. As a native speaker from California and a Cambridge CELTA-certified instructor with over 14 years of experience, I don't just tell you what to say—I teach you the physical mechanics of how to say it. My lessons are highly structured, practical, and tailored to help you eliminate persistent errors and build lasting habits. What We Focus On: We look at pronunciation from two angles: the individual sounds and the overall rhythm of the language. Sound Production: Master vowels, consonants, and difficult clusters (R, L, and TH). We utilize the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and focus on the exact positioning of your lips, tongue, and jaw, so you understand the mechanics behind every sound. Prosody & Flow: This is the real secret to sounding natural. We dive deep into rhythm, word stress, sentence intonation, connected speech (word linking), and native reductions to give your English its proper flow. My Teaching Style: My sessions are results-oriented and entirely supportive. I provide all learning materials beforehand so we can maximize our time together. Through real-time feedback and targeted analysis, I help you break down language barriers so you can communicate with clarity, precision, and ease.

До занятий с Мейсоном я больше года пытался заниматься самостоятельно, изучая каналы на ютубе и используя приложения вроде Elsa. Однако именно занятия с Мейсоном позволили мне значительно улучшить мое произношение. Во-первых, Мейсон очень хорошо ориентируется в типичных ошибках русскоговорящих и может доходчиво их объяснить их как через теорию, так и через практику. Во-вторых, Мейсон дает множество подводящих упражнений для особо проблемных звуков, так что вы не будете биться как рыба об лед и сможете постепенно освоить сложные звуки, у которых нет близких аналогов в русском языке. В-третьих, Мейсон довольно гибок в своих занятиях, вы можете разбрать любую интересующую вас тему, разнообразить уроки различными видео и текстами на ваш вкус. Наконец, я рекомендую занятия с Мейсоном тем, кому важен результат. Если вы готовы регулярно заниматься, то вы очень быстро увидите эффект от занятий.

特别享受Mason老师的课程,在愉快的课程中不知不觉就提高了发音的水平,现在看美剧都能get到他们的发音细节了,经过不断的练习,假以时日成为national不是问题。Mason让我对学习英语有很大的进步和转变,最大的转变就是让我觉得学习英语是一种享受,而不是当作一个任务.

Even though I haven't had a lot of lessons with Mason, I want to share my experience. Mason doesn't expect you to repeat the sound or the word as it should be after him or right after the explanation, but he gives practices and exercises that make you say the sound yourself without even trying to say the target sound. His explanations and corrections are detailed, but not too excessive. They’re only relevant. He’s also aware of the struggles of non-native-English speakers, and even if those are the struggles of people whose native language sounds are completely different. He notices what you're doing wrong and leads you. I find practicing with him really encouraging. I like the homework practice he gives that I can do by myself. After only 1 lesson and a week of practice on my own (2-3 times) I hear a huge difference between 2 similar sounds and I hear myself saying these two completely different too. That's only a start, but I truly believe in my success of sounding adequate/great!

I have been practicing with Mason for months now. He opened up to me a world of things in American English Pronunciation that I couldn't imagine. I am 100% satisfied with our constant work ! Mason is the best teacher ever, enlightning, clear, dedicated and fun. He is always available to help you out and is focused on your weaknessess. I have been improving day by day thanks to our classess, that cover all the most important pronunciation aspects. My conversational skills and my accent have experienced a great improvement. I can't wait for more lessons together ;)

I've taken 5 lessons with Mason so far, and I highly recommend him. He has his own teaching approach and comes prepared with his own materials. Across our lessons, he has focused on vowel pronunciation, stress, linking words, and vowel reduction. He gives great suggestions on how to practice and improve these skills — including shadowing and fun exercises, like imitating an ambulance siren to practice stress. He's also flexible about adjusting the pace of the class to fit my needs. One thing I found especially intriguing is how he weaves his knowledge of music into his teaching. He's excellent at explaining mouth position and resonance for vowel pronunciation. After just a few lessons, I can already distinguish between sounds I previously couldn't tell apart (e.g., "feet" vs. "fit"). On top of all that, his classes are never boring — I'm often amused by his dry, sarcastic humor.

Mason’s a fabulous teacher for those looking to polish their pronunciation. It’s only been a few classes, but I can tell that he’s highly knowledgeable and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve to help you nail an accent. Besides, Mason’s effortlessly funny and breaks complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way. Super thrilled about our upcoming classes because they’re always full of valuable insights! Thanks so much!!!
