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.
