Hi, I’m Adrian and I am here to help you sound more native!
I have a linguistics degree and my specialty is accent reduction. I've been a speaker at international language conferences and create video courses on American English pronunciation and accent. I’ve helped people from all sorts of professions improve their accent and I can help you too!

I started taking accent reduction training with Adrian just over a year ago. In that short time, I can say with 100 percent confidence that he is a superb teacher and an expert in linguistics.
His style of teaching encourages creativity and creates a space where it is safe to make mistakes and learn.
Adrian has a growth mindset and constantly creates new content so that his students can learn more effectively.

Adrian is the best accent coach, I've ever had. Every lesson I learn something new, not only common things but also some little things that I haven't noticed before. And these little things help me to sound more like a native. And I really appreciate that Adrian always corrects my mistakes, not every teacher on Italki really pays attention to it. Thank you very much, Adrian :)
