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
Where are you located in Minneapolis?
While I’m not based in Minneapolis, my coaching is 100% online—making it easy for working professionals in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas to get the help they need without commute or schedule disruption.
Who are accent modification classes for?
Professionals, speakers, actors, and job seekers who want to sound more natural and be understood more clearly. Accent training can help you communicate more confidently in business, presentations, interviews, and social situations.
How long does it take to change your accent?
Each student is different. Most focus on 8–12 key sounds over a 12-week program. Progress depends on your current and desired proficiency levels, the amount of practice you put in outside of lessons, and your natural affinity for this kind of work.
Do you have experience with speakers of my language?
The language or regional dialect you grew up with may determine the specific sounds you are struggling with, but I tailor our lessons to suit your individual needs. I’ve worked with clients from almost all continents and major languages, helping them achieve their goals.
Is online coaching as effective as in-person training?
Absolutely. Using video calls, I offer real-time feedback and exercises tailored to you. Plus, it’s more convenient and flexible.
How much should I practice?
Consistent practice is key to making progress in accent reduction. Daily practice (30–40 minutes) is ideal for progress. You’ll also get audio tools to help you stay on track, and hear a native speaker pronounce words.
Do I need special equipment for online accent reduction classes?
All you need is a stable internet connection, a computer or smartphone, and a quiet space where you can focus on your sessions. A good-quality microphone and headphones can enhance your experience, but they are not strictly necessary.
