32,000+ SESSIONS | PHONICS & ACCENT SPECIALIST I don’t just "correct" English—I re-engineer it.

Whether you are a professional seeking executive presence or a parent seeking a foundation for your child, I provide the logic behind the language. We move beyond "mimicry" into phonetic mastery. Using the SSP framework, we target the sounds that hold you back from being understood. WHAT YOU GET: 1) Precision: Master everyday vocabulary with a "Broadcast English" sound. 2) Authority: De...

Steve's pronunciation lessons are effective and adapted to the current level. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who is serious about diction improvement and accent reduction. His highly organized lessons are a must if you really want to sound more like a native. He'll also give you homework outside of the lesson that covers all the sounds you hear so you can practice them by yourself.

Steve ha sempre argomenti di cui parlare, ogni volta partendo da una parola si spazia sui suoi vari significati e nella spiegazione possono emergere nuove parole da apprendere. E' molto attento alla pronuncia, cosa molto importante perché ci sono parole molto simili tra loro nella pronuncia ma di significato completamente diverso. Se si sbaglia la pronuncia si sbaglia la parola e la frase può risultare incomprensibile o avere un significato diverso da quello voluto.
