Accent Reduction for non-native English speakers (USA or UK English)

Welcome! I specialize in aiding non-native English speaking professionals with accent reduction. I can help you learn either the American or British English accent. I'm also able to aid a client in public speaking skills if desired.

I am a native American English speaker (born and raised in the USA), and I am a professional private voice instructor. I have several years experience teaching languages and specialize in English diction. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Music Education: Vocal Performance and therefore have the ability to cater my lessons exactly to each individual student's needs. I specialize in developing a keen, discerning ear, and connecting that identification of sound to slight physical alterations that can make a big difference for you in your daily professional and social life.

I can help you communicate more articulately and efficiently. First I help you achieve the correct recognition and production of the speech sounds necessary for English. I will then help you use correct intonation patterns, stress, and rhythm in conversational speech. Accent Reduction will help you speak more clearly, freely, and directly.

Feel free to send me a quick message, and we can set up a lesson. I look forward to meeting you!

Great teacher that helped me a lot in a short amount of time!
She is very thorough and professional. No time wasted and a lot of work done in 45 minutes.
I hold a BM in Secondary Choral Music Education from Brigham Young University, wherein I was awarded the Barlow Music Endowment. I have been a private voice instructor, choral director, and professional opera and choral singer for over 12 years, and have taught throughout the United States and France both privately and at specialist schools such as the Children's Choir of Paris. I have performed with premier vocal ensembles on tour throughout Europe, as well as with the 8-time Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Symphony Chorus. I have over twelve years of experience conducting adult and children's choirs in various community and ecclesiastical capacities. I offer singing lessons (classical and contemporary) to all levels and ages as well as musicality, ear-training, diction, sight-reading, dictation, and performance skills. I am patient and nurturing. I understand how daunting vocal lessons can be, and will work at building your self-confidence as well as a good technique. As your vocal instructor, I will help you to set goals that develop your unique instrument and bring out your own personality. I believe that singing is an important form of communication, and will use my experience to help you to deliver a performance with integrity and meaning. Above all, it must always be a joyful experience.

Simon
Language Learning Coach - Learn HOW to learn a language, use it with ease and have great conversations
“I feel stuck” These words I hear again and again, from beginners to advanced. The majority of students who come to me are frustrated. They spent many years studying languages at school. They’ve spent both their time and lots of money. Only to find themselves still struggling to form a sentence. Still struggling to be able to understand a native speaker. If you’re here then I’m assuming you share some of these same struggles. You get confused trying to memorize grammar rules, remember vocabulary, and makes sentances. You don’t know how to learn every day. You get distracted and then you feel too tired to keep going. Believe it or not, I’ve been there too and to be honest, it sucks to have another language is to possess a second soul Charlemage Now, I want you to trust me on your language journey Imagine finally knowing exactly what to do when you sit at your desk to learn a language. Imagine knowing how to learn grammar, how to remember vocabulary and make it stick, how to speak, and how to write beautiful sentences. Imagine going on holiday somewhere and interacting with locals. Laughing, eating, dancing and living life in a different language.

English lessons with a qualified ENGLISH SPEAKER from England, all levels, A-Levels IGCSEs IELTS...
Qualified English professor from England, I have a BA and MA in Linguistics (English). I am also qualified for the IELTS/TOEFL exams, IGCSEs A-Levels. I can also correct your written work (university thesis...). I adapt my lessons according to the level and needs of the student. We will work together on grammar, reading, speaking and listening. I will correct your pronunciation and I can give you some lessons based on phonetics. If you wish, we can also work on more specific subjects such as business, medicine, literature, interpreting etc. I travel a lot but that doesn't stop me from giving the lessons via webcam, very appreciated in general by the students (the notes written by the teacher are saved in the conversation, possibility to share the screen for interactive activities, no need to run to the teacher's house 😉 ). You can always try a course and judge for yourself (30 min or 1 hour). All the students who have had the lessons with me on Apprentus have repeatedly booked the lessons (as well as my former student Justine who had her lessons during the Covid and at that time, I was stuck abroad ;-) ). Recently, I had the pleasure to see my student improving from 20% to 90% on her English writing exam after only a few lessons. She has been taking lessons with me for almost a year and would like to continue her lessons. 😊 Still not sure whether the course is for you? Send me a message and I'll be glad to get back to you! See you soon ! 😊

Mina
English teacher with plenty of experience and patience
If you want to learn English language, I am here to help you. It is not difficult as it may look, but you have to be persistent if you want to reach your goal. Let me show you that English classes can be fun and studying can be interesting. I'm an English teacher for more than six years and I have plenty of experience. At the beginning of the course, studying material is particularly selected for each student depending on their level of knowledge. After the type of course is determined, focus is on the weak spots and improving whatever skill a student is lacking in. Speaking is always emphasized. In class students can suggest other materials, books etc and ask for lessons they want to study. Asking questions is always a good thing and cooperation between teacher and a student is crucial. If you agree, contact me and start your English course today! I'm looking forward to helping you learn English!
