Professional English Conversation Teacher | Accent Reduction | Fluency Hello from Hollywood! 🎬 I’m a professional actor, director, and accent coach helping global professionals—especially in IT, medicine, and business—master clear, confident American English.

My mother is an English teacher and my father has his PhD in physics. My two sisters are professors. Teaching is a primary profession in our family. I first taught SAT exam preparation to Chinese students in New York. Then I taught English for Berlitz, in Santa Monica and in Puerto Rico, and at ELS Language Centers. My teaching here at Italki is very flexible. I'm great at getting people to speak in English while I make corrections in the moment. This works very well, especially if you record the session.

Highly enjoyed my first lesson with Peter. I was afraid that the sound quality would hinder the process of learning, but Peter is very sensitive to sound and manages to discern the tiniest differences in your accent. He used word pairs to show the difference in sound, which I found very helpful. He also gave some advice on how to better connect with the listener and improve the quality of your voice overall. Can't wait for our next lesson!

The teacher was highly professional! He immediately identified my pronunciation issues in English, something I hadn't noticed despite having studied the language for many years.

He's super nice and he knows what he's talking about. I like that he not only gives tips, but also addresses physical things like muscle tension, larynx position, things like that. Good thing I found him. Thanks for coaching me!
