I've been teaching pronunciation for six years. With each year I've learned more and more about the many nuances of the American accent, and how best to teach it to students from all parts of the world. I have a lot of confidence in myself and in my approach.
My general teaching method involves repetition within sentences, targeted at your priority corrective sounds. We'll also practice mimicking native speakers through videos, so that you can begin to observe the accent, absorb it, and sound more native.

If you're looking to pick up the American accent, you've found a great teacher! There are lots of patterns, nuances, and practice methods I'll share with you.
Most Americans are unaware of their own speech patterns. I've taken the time to study them, and would like to show you them. The accent can be achieved. But it takes practice.
Changing your accent is all about repetition. Just like practicing an instrument, it has to get into your muscle memory, to be of use to you in real life.
I have years' of experience doing this, and know the American accent inside and out.
Derslerim ve öğretme tarzım
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!

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.

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.
