Accent Reduction & American English Pronunciation Coach | CELTA-Certified | 14+ Years Experience I specialize in American English pronunciation and accent reduction for intermediate and advanced learners who want to speak clearly, naturally, and with absolute confidence. As a native speaker from California and a Cambridge CELTA-certified instructor with over 14 years of experience, I don't just tell you what to say—I teach you the physical mechanics of how to say it. My lessons are highly structured, practical, and tailored to help you eliminate persistent errors and build lasting habits. What We Focus On: We look at pronunciation from two angles: the individual sounds and the overall rhythm of the language. Sound Production: Master vowels, consonants, and difficult clusters (R, L, and TH). We utilize the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and focus on the exact positioning of your lips, tongue, and jaw, so you understand the mechanics behind every sound. Prosody & Flow: This is the real secret to sounding natural. We dive deep into rhythm, word stress, sentence intonation, connected speech (word linking), and native reductions to give your English its proper flow. My Teaching Style: My sessions are results-oriented and entirely supportive. I provide all learning materials beforehand so we can maximize our time together. Through real-time feedback and targeted analysis, I help you break down language barriers so you can communicate with clarity, precision, and ease.

Study with a university instructor with an MA in literature. Fluent in Russian, French and Spanish. I’ve taught English, literature and writing in 3 U.S. universities and colleges, a language school in Moscow, and online. I’m patient, understanding, organized, and progress-oriented. I strive to create a relaxed learning environment which at the same time forces students to express themselves in new, varied, precise and sophisticated ways. My teaching philosophy reflects what I myself seek as a language student, namely: 1. a caring and cheerful teacher who sincerely wants to help their students grow; 2. intellectually stimulating topics that generate meaningful discussion; 3. ample speaking practice with a focus on language development, vocabulary enrichment, and grammatical accuracy.

an ABC to get you through your ABCs hi! my name's myles and i'm from cupertino CA and currently living in SF, working full time as an electrical engineer at a robotics startup. about 4 years ago i started taking classes on italki for spanish (because i got really into bad bunny and karol g) and about a year ago i started taking chinese as well to reconnect with my roots; italki has been an invaluable part of both journeys and i wanted to give back to the community. before i thought that learning a foreign language was too hard, too much work, but after discovering ways to incorporate them into the things i already liked (music, tv, friends), i realized it isn't hard at all. i hope i can help you along your own journey.

Cambridge Certified English/"IELTS" tutor I believe English Language is an art of expression. A universal language; being the only true path to communicate internationally and have your voice recognized, thoughts and opinions shared as well as understood and have many revolutionary ideas presented. The expression of English Language is very personal, hence I would like to work with students and give them a direction and not dictation. From basic grammatical rules to advanced writing skills, book a trial to find the perfect schedule for the best time consumption.

Meeting new people from around the world makes me happy, and I look forward to sharing fun and useful English lessons with you. As a teacher, I’m light-hearted. I like to joke around and make students feel comfortable during class. Maybe I’m not the “perfect” tutor, but I always find a way to help and give you the answers you need. Nothing is impossible for me, and with 9 years of experience, I have built a strong reputation for helping students succeed. In my lessons, I like to create a cool, stress-free environment where students feel comfortable. That’s always the first step. Once you are relaxed, we can enjoy a mix of casual conversation practice and topics that interest you, which makes time fly and gives you real speaking practice you might not get in your daily life.

I teach these in an interactive, modern way—not just theory—so you can improve naturally and with confidence.
