One of my greatest strengths as an accent coach, and as a person, is my ability to see the forest for the trees. As your teacher, the first thing I'd do is diagnose which of your non-native sounds, speech patterns, or vocal settings, would improve your accent by a measure of 90%--once fixed.
We'll then concentrate on addressing and refining those specific elements. The other 10%, we can deal with secondarily.
ฉันในฐานะผู้สอน
I've been teaching pronunciation for the past 7 years, and I honestly don't have a singular conceptual philosophy to sell you on. However, I know a lot about pronunciation and accents, and without a doubt, I can help you with yours.
As a good accent coach and instructor, it's my job to comprehend and process all the little details that go into the vocal production of the American accent; and to provide you with what's most important for the improvement of your own accent. Presenting it all to you in an easily digestible way.
That's essentially what I do.
บทเรียนและรูปแบบการสอนของฉัน
1) I'll listen to your pronunciation as we talk. Believe it or not, this is the BEST way to diagnose what's going on with your accent. If we want to fix your accent for use in real-life conversations, then we need to diagnose your accent issues, within a real conversation.
2) We'll work together on the most glaring issues in your accent. If you can't make the sound, I'll help you to produce it.
3) Once the sound is produceable, we'll use repetition of it within sentences, to get it into your muscle memory. Repetition is crucial for muscle memory retention. We'll also shadow (mimic) native speakers in series, movies and podcasts. I'll be giving you continual feedback as we progress.

If you are looking to reduce your accent and sound like a native English speaker, Josh is outstanding teacher here on italki.
He has learned a lot and he is aware of how your native language patterns affect your English, no matter what country you are from. He is a great communicator and passionate about different accents, languages and how people speak. While you are reading your favorite article or doing pronunciation practice exercises, he can perfectly hear, recognize and find a way to fix every odd sound, incorrect rhythm or a pitch.
I would definetely recomend working with Josh to anyone who's been strugled with pronunciation for a long time, or had already been assumed he sounds quite well enough. You'll discover lots of new and interesting things about how you sound, get fluency and levelup your communication skills in English.
Thank you!

Great session. Josh shared some new techniques to improve on the accent, things that had never been shown to me by any other coaches before. Josh certainly offers a real opportunity to make further progress with his lessons.

Thanks a lot, Josh! Your lessons were really eye-opening (or rather ear-opening) for me! I learned so much from you. Including the nuances I had no idea about.

Super helpful, highly recommended.
Josh told me about lots of very interesting rules of pronunciation that I had no idea about. And the most useful part is that it's not just random tips I can find on YouTube, but it's exactly what I personally was pronouncing wrong.
Also, it's not just "don't say this, say that instead." Every recommendation is supported by the terminology (that I can google) and materials from a textbook.
