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 the Sacramento Metro Area
This is what my students wanted to know
before signing up with me
Where are you located in Sacramento?
All coaching is done remotely via Zoom, so you can join from anywhere in Sacramento or nearby cities. Whether you’re in Midtown, Natomas, Rancho Cordova, or beyond, you’ll get the same personalized experience without needing to travel.
What industries do your students come from?
I work with professionals across many industries in Sacramento—tech, education, government, medicine, consulting, hospitality, and more. If you work with people and want to communicate more effectively in English, this is for you.
How long does accent reduction take?
Each person is different, but most students focus on 8–12 key sounds that have the biggest impact. You’ll usually notice changes in your awareness and clarity within a few sessions, and larger improvements over the 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.
Is this coaching only for people with strong accents?
Not at all. Some of my students already have great English and only want to refine specific sounds or improve how they come across professionally. Whether your accent is strong or mild, if it’s affecting how you’re perceived, I offer a free accent assessment where we can identify which sounds we could work on in your specific case.
Are online accent reduction classes really effective?
Yes—many students find them more convenient and just as impactful as in-person sessions. You get real-time feedback, screen-sharing exercises, and the ability to practice in your own environment.
How do I maintain my results after the program ends?
You’ll receive personalized audio tools and practice techniques to use long-term. Many students continue improving for months after the program ends, and you can always schedule check-ins later if you’d like.
Is this suitable for all English levels?
Accent coaching is an elective training that fluent speakers benefit from the most (B2 level at the very least!). If you’re still a beginner, you would probably benefit more from regular English lessons where you can improve your grammar and vocabulary, before deciding to work on your pronunciation. Accent coaching should be your “cherry-on-top”.
What’s the cost for Sacramento students?
