About Me
italki teacher since Apr 8, 2020InterestsWritingPets & AnimalsFilms & TV SeriesTravelFood
I specialize in Accent Reduction and American English Pronunciation for intermediate and advanced learners. Originally from California and now based in Madrid, Spain, I bring a global, real-world perspective to my teaching.
I am a CELTA-certified instructor (Cambridge University) with over 14 years of professional experience. Throughout my career, I’ve taught a wide range of courses—including grammar, fluency, writing, and exam preparation—but my true passion is pronunciation.
I’ve helped students from all over the world significantly reduce their accents and communicate with clarity and confidence.Me as a Teacher
I help intermediate and advanced learners master American English Pronunciation and reduce their accents with clarity, confidence, and precision. My teaching style is supportive and encouraging, giving you the space to grow while pushing you toward noticeable results.
If your goal is to be understood easily—and to sound more natural in real conversations—I can help you get there. We’ll work together to analyze your pronunciation, eliminate persistent errors, and build new habits that transform the way you speak.
Using a structured, step-by-step method, I’ll teach you practical techniques that make your speech clearer, smoother, and more effortless for native speakers to understand. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are highly structured and results-oriented, with each session built around materials I provide beforehand. We start by familiarizing you with key pronunciation concepts, including a gentle introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and the physical mechanics of sound production—lip, tongue, and jaw positioning—so you understand exactly how to shape each sound.
Prosody is at the heart of my approach. While we cover vowels and consonants, the real key to sounding like a native speaker is mastering the rhythm, stress, intonation, word linking, and reductions that give English its natural flow.My teaching material

До занятий с Мейсоном я больше года пытался заниматься самостоятельно, изучая каналы на ютубе и используя приложения вроде Elsa. Однако именно занятия с Мейсоном позволили мне значительно улучшить мое произношение.
Во-первых, Мейсон очень хорошо ориентируется в типичных ошибках русскоговорящих и может доходчиво их объяснить их как через теорию, так и через практику.
Во-вторых, Мейсон дает множество подводящих упражнений для особо проблемных звуков, так что вы не будете биться как рыба об лед и сможете постепенно освоить сложные звуки, у которых нет близких аналогов в русском языке.
В-третьих, Мейсон довольно гибок в своих занятиях, вы можете разбрать любую интересующую вас тему, разнообразить уроки различными видео и текстами на ваш вкус.
Наконец, я рекомендую занятия с Мейсоном тем, кому важен результат. Если вы готовы регулярно заниматься, то вы очень быстро увидите эффект от занятий.

特别享受Mason老师的课程，在愉快的课程中不知不觉就提高了发音的水平，现在看美剧都能get到他们的发音细节了，经过不断的练习，假以时日成为national不是问题。Mason让我对学习英语有很大的进步和转变，最大的转变就是让我觉得学习英语是一种享受，而不是当作一个任务.

Mason is a professional accent coach. He explains the vowels and consonants in details and very clearly. He can analysis the sound that I’m having trouble with and tell me what do I need to change to get the correct sound. I like his class style and enjoy learning with Mason.
