Are you interested in learning the sounds and rhythms of American English?
Get started with a 30-minute Accent Analysis.
In college, I had a "Southern" accent, and I needed to learn how to speak in a neutral American accent. I wanted to play any character from any place!
First I mastered the standard American accent, and then I went on to master other accents for the stage: French, Russian, British, and Scottish.
**Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certification
**Pronouncing English as a Second Language Certification (specifically for Accent Reduction),
I have very limited availability so we will talk about exactly what you want to learn in each session.
Me as a Teacher
I specialize in American English Pronunciation/Accent Reduction.
I'd like you to see these classes as short-term coaching sessions. You'll apply what you learn in class immediately in the real world. You will need to think about pronunciation outside of class and push yourself to actually use what you're learning in real conversations. :) This is how real change occurs!
Spoken English is NOTHING like written American English, and you will feel like you're learning another language. I invite you to embrace this exciting experience and push yourself to do what most people are never able to do.
I speak Russian fluently, so if you are a Slavic-language speaker I have unique insight. :)
My lessons & teaching style
***I will not allow last minute reschedules no matter what the circumstance is. If you have to miss class, you will get an at home assignment to take the place of the class and I will send you feedback on that. :)
If you're looking for a fun class experience that is hyper-focused on results, you have come to the right place. A lot of my students tell me that classes are fun and give them an energy boost. When they're having a bad day, they say I cheer them up. I think it's extremely important to have fun during class. Accent reduction can be a repetitive and challenging process, but it can also be exciting and enjoyable. So let's do this!

Paige is a super-talented tutor with an incredible style of teaching. I've learned a lot with her and I'm very grateful for this. I strongly recommend taking her lessons if you wish to sound like a native speaker.
