This is what my students wanted to know
before signing up with me

• Where are you located in Detroit?

  While I’m not physically based in Detroit, I work with students across the entire Detroit metropolitan area through fully online sessions. This includes professionals in Dearborn, Troy, Southfield, Royal Oak, Livonia, Farmington Hills, and surrounding suburbs.
  Online sessions mean no commuting, no traffic, and maximum flexibility—perfect for busy professionals working long hours or managing shifting schedules.

• Who are accent reduction classes for?

  These sessions are specifically designed for non-native English speakers who already have a good command of English (intermediate to advanced level) but feel their accent gets in the way.
  If you’ve ever been asked to repeat yourself, avoided speaking up in meetings, or felt self-conscious about your pronunciation during presentations, these classes are for you.
  I also work with:

  • Tech professionals giving demos or client presentations

  • Medical staff needing clear bedside communication

  • Startup founders pitching ideas

  • Actors and voice professionals

  • International students preparing for interviews or public speaking

• How long does it take to change your accent?

  There’s no “one size fits all” answer. Most students begin seeing and hearing improvements within a few weeks of focused work.
  Typically, clients need to focus on 8 to 12 key sounds that impact clarity the most.
  The full structured program is 12 weeks long, with one session per week and daily practice between sessions.
  Factors that affect your progress include:

  • Your current pronunciation habits

  • How much time you practice between sessions

  • Your ability to tune into and imitate new sound patterns

  • How different your native language is from English

• What happens in the first session?

  The first session is an Accent Assessment—a friendly, detailed review of how you currently speak English.
  We’ll look at specific vowel and consonant sounds, rhythm, intonation, and speech clarity.
  You’ll get personalized feedback on which sounds affect your communication most and a preview of what your plan would look like.
  Many students walk away from the first session with a clearer idea of why they’ve been misunderstood—and excited to finally fix it.

• Are online accent reduction classes as effective as in-person coaching?

  Yes—absolutely. In fact, most of my clients prefer online coaching.
  Why? Because:

  • You get the same real-time feedback and personalized instruction

  • You are welcome to record our session for later review (They are not recorded by default, and I will never record them)

  • You can attend from home, your office, or even during business travel

  • You’re not limited by geography—you get access to a top-level coach no matter where you live

• Do I need any special equipment to join?

  No fancy equipment is required. All you need is:

  • A stable internet connection

  • A smartphone, laptop, or computer

  • A quiet space
    A good-quality microphone or headphones is a bonus, especially for improving sound feedback, but not a must.

• What kind of results can I expect?

  Many clients report:

  • Clearer speech in meetings, calls, and interviews

  • Fewer misunderstandings when talking to native English speakers

  • Increased confidence speaking up at work or socially

  • More natural rhythm and intonation
    Of course, success depends on your commitment. Like going to the gym, consistency matters. Clients who practice daily—even just 15–30 minutes—see the best results.

• How do I maintain my progress after finishing the program?

  At the end of your coaching package, I’ll give you a custom practice plan so you can keep reinforcing your new speaking habits.
  You’ll also have access to:

  • On-the-go practice audio

  • AI-generated tongue twisters

  • Optional check-ins if you’d like a refresh
    Many students continue using the tools for months or years after the program ends—and report continued growth.

• Is accent reduction permanent?

  With regular use and reinforcement, your improvements can absolutely stick.

  Accent habits are physical, and once you build new muscle memory, it becomes your default way of speaking.
  Like learning to ride a bike or swim—it doesn’t disappear overnight, but occasional “maintenance” helps.
  Just a few minutes of daily practice (even reading aloud) can keep your clarity sharp.
