Currently accepting new students again. MASTER AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION, learn to THINK in English, and express yourself fluently and fluidly. Beginners & advanced speakers welcome. Perhaps you'd like a teacher who actually knows how to learn languages — and is doing so successfully. Perhaps you could benefit working with a professional language-learner with decades of experience teaching teenagers and adults with busy lives like you. Phonology is my favorite “hack” — master it now, and your path will be a lot easier. The way you speak is the way hear, so if your pronunciation is off, your listening will be 10x more difficult. If you master the phonology & fix your pronunciation & accent now, everything will be a lot smoother going forward! Watch my video & WRITE ME BEFORE requesting our 1st lesson. Feel free to ask me how you can benefit from my expertise in phonology, phonetics, accent acquisition, grammar acquisition for fluency, pragmatic communication, US culture, etc., so that you can maximize your potential to thrive in an English-speaking environment. My specialties include phonology (phonetics, rhythm, intonation, etc), phonics, fluent grammar in real time conversation, self-expression in conversation & useful idiomatic expressions.

It's a relief to know that there is a teacher who can teach (and challenge!) a proficient speaker. Phil is able to point out anything that sounds even slightly off, despite the fact that I speak with a British accent. Our main objective, however, is improving my understanding of phonology so that I could deliver better lessons, whether I'm teaching English or Czech. Our first two lessons were very informative and pleasant. Speaking with someone who is so passionate about the subject is a delight.

这节课非常重要,它都颠覆了我以往的对英语的认知。。。之前我还以为英语每个音都要发出来呢。。。其实不用,跟我以前学的完全不一样。。。现在觉得合理多了。

Phil is really knowledgeable and he helped my find my core problem to work on. I also got some great advice on my word, English mindset and grammar. I also received suggestions on my body language and how to speak confidently. Thanks Phil!
