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.

Proudly Serving Ottawa, Ontario (and Beyond)
This is what my students wanted to know
before signing up with me
Do I need to be located in Ottawa to work with you?
Nope! All sessions are 100% online, so you can join from anywhere in Ottawa or beyond. I’ve worked with clients in Canada, Europe, and Asia—all from the comfort of home.
Will I lose my cultural identity by doing accent coaching?
Absolutely not. The goal isn’t to erase your identity—it’s to help you be more easily understood. Most clients keep the personality in their voice but develop greater clarity and fluency.
Is this program suitable for French speakers in Ottawa?
Yes. I’ve worked with many bilingual (English/French) speakers. In fact, many French-speaking clients in Ottawa and Quebec benefit from refining English stress, vowel sounds, and rhythm.
What language backgrounds have you worked with?
I’ve coached speakers of Arabic, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Farsi, Russian, French, Korean, and more. The program adapts to your unique language background.
How soon will I see improvement?
Many clients notice improvements in speech awareness within the first few sessions. With consistent practice, most achieve their goals in 8–12 weeks.
How much time do I need to commit per week?
Outside of our 1-on-1 sessions, I recommend 30–40 minutes per day of guided practice for the best results.
What are the technical requirements?
You’ll need a Zoom-capable device (phone or computer), a stable internet connection, and ideally, headphones with a mic.
