pronunciation frustrations?
No one should be excluded because of their accent. I believe you should be judged based on what you say, not how you sound.
Why Accent Reduction Works for Non-Native Speakers
Think of this not as replacing your natural accent, but as adding a feature to your communication toolbox. It will reflect who you are in your native language more effectively into English language.
Accents can be modified, and many people can learn new speech patterns with proper training and practice. Actors do it all the time when preparing for a new role.
Our standard program spans 12 weekly sessions, providing a structured foundation for accent improvement.
The Science Behind Your Accent
Your accent is simply muscle memory. As you pick up your first language, your brain learns how to move your jaw, lips, and tongue to form sounds. These movements became so automated that you don’t even think about them.
English has its own unique movements, just like any other language. The problem is, your brain is defaulting to what it already knows – your first language’s muscle movements.
This is the same muscle memory that you use to walk, move, swim etc. but it’s located in your face.
The good news is – muscle memory can be retrained at any age with the right approach.
The 3 Steps That Make All the Difference
1
Schedule a FREE Consultation
We’ll analyze your speech patterns to identify which of the 44 sounds in English are affecting your communication. Most students I work with focus on 10–12 core sounds, enough to noticeably improve clarity.
2
Personalizing the Plan
Your plan will prioritize the specific sounds that may help you progress more efficiently – so that you can be confident in any situation.
3
Become a Confident Speaker!
Your goal will be to practice those target sounds hundreds (sometimes even thousands) of times per week, reinforcing the muscle memory needed for clear and confident speech.

This is what my students wanted to know
before signing up with me
Are you located in Madison?
While I’m not based in Madison, I regularly work with professionals from the area via Zoom. Sessions are 100% online, making them flexible and convenient for your busy schedule—no driving, parking, or commuting required.
How long does it take to improve my accent?
Many students start noticing improvement within the first few sessions, especially if they practice regularly between lessons. Significant results typically take 10–12 weeks of focused effort. The more consistent you are, the faster you’ll improve.
Can this really work if it’s online?
Absolutely. Video calls allow for high-quality audio and visual feedback. I can see how you form sounds and give immediate corrections. Most clients even prefer the flexibility of online sessions—they can learn from anywhere.
Is this only for people in tech or healthcare?
No—this coaching is for anyone whose accent is limiting their clarity. My clients include educators, real estate agents, grad students, customer support specialists, and public speakers. If communication matters in your role, this can help.
Do I have to completely lose my accent?
Not at all. Many of my clients maintain a gentle trace of their native accent. The goal isn’t to “erase” your voice—it’s to make it clearer and more natural-sounding in American English.
What should I practice between sessions?
You’ll receive a weekly practice plan with custom exercises, recordings, and feedback. Most students practice 30–40 minutes per day. It’s not about cramming—it’s about daily repetition and building new muscle memory.
