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.

Serving All of Calgary (and Beyond)
This is what my students wanted to know
before signing up with me
Is accent coaching as effective online?
Yes—my clients often prefer it! You get real-time feedback, recordings, and weekly accountability—all without commuting through Calgary traffic or adjusting your work schedule.
Will I lose my identity or natural voice?
Absolutely not. The goal is to make your English clear, not to erase your personality. You’ll still sound like you—just easier to understand in Canadian English contexts.
How soon will I see results?
Many students report noticeable improvement in their speech awareness in just a few weeks. With consistent practice, most reach their clarity goals within the 12-week program.
Is this only for French or Spanish speakers?
Not at all! I’ve coached speakers of Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Russian, Korean, Farsi, and many others. Your plan will be tailored to your language background.
What if I already speak English fluently?
Great! Fluency and clarity are not the same. Even fluent speakers can be misunderstood due to pronunciation. This program helps you bridge that gap.
How much time do I need to practice?
At least 30–40 minutes a day is ideal. Think of it like working out—you build “muscle memory” in your mouth by repeating the right movements.
