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 the Naperville and Surrounding Areas
This is what my students wanted to know
before signing up with me
Do I need to be in Naperville to take classes?
Nope! We’re 100% online. Whether you live in Naperville or anywhere else in the U.S., you can join from your laptop or phone.
How long does it take to improve my accent?
Many clients start noticing improvements in their speech awareness after a few sessions. Most reach noticeable clarity improvements by weeks 10-12, especially if they follow the daily practice plan.
Is the goal to sound like a native speaker?
Not necessarily. The goal is to be understood easily and speak naturally. Many clients end up with a more neutral or “international” American accent—without erasing their background.
Have you worked with people from my country?
Most likely yes! I’ve worked with speakers of Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, French, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Korean, and many others. Each plan is adapted to your native language’s phonetic patterns.
Will this help with public speaking or interviews?
It can help, but it’s not the only deciding factor. Many students join because they’re preparing for interviews, leading meetings, or giving presentations. We’ll practice for those exact situations together.
What do I need for online lessons?
A quiet room, good internet, and a phone or computer. A quality microphone or headset helps—but it’s optional.
What’s the cost of accent reduction training?
