Diagnostic Speech Audit & Study Plan

In this 30-minute session, I will identify your primary phonetic 'blind spots.' Using a specialized reading passage, I will analyze your vowel placement and consonant articulation. You will leave with a clear road-map of which aspects of pronunciation we need to prioritize.

(For those choosing the instant lesson option, I can answer any questions that you have.)

Master the mechanics of the American accent.

Many high-level English learners feel like their speech has "hit a wall." You know the grammar and the vocabulary, but you still feel like you are "performing" a language rather than speaking it naturally.

I provide Scientific Speech Coaching that moves beyond simple repetition. We focus on the physical mechanics of the mouth and the acoustic structure of American English to achieve true clarity.

In our sessions, we focus on three pillars of speech:

Articulatory Precision: We map the exact position of the tongue, teeth, and lips using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). We don't just "listen and repeat"—we analyze how sounds are physically produced.

Rhythm & Prosody: We deconstruct the "music" of American English, focusing on vowel reduction, word-linking, and the stress-timed patterns that create natural flow.

The Polyglot Perspective: As a polyglot currently studying 3 languages, I specialize in identifying how your native language’s phonology "interferes" with your English. I show you how to bypass those habits.

What to expect:

A Systematic Approach: Every lesson is structured and data-driven.

Visual Feedback: We use phonetic charts and diagrams to visualize the "shape" of your speech.

Targeted Drills: Exercises designed to build the muscle memory required for lasting change.

👉 Best for: Professionals, academics, and advanced learners who want a structured, analytical, and technical approach to sounding like a native speaker.

American Accent | Technical Speech Coaching

Bridge the gap between "knowing" the sounds and "using" them instinctively.

This session is designed for advanced speakers who want to maintain their phonetic precision in real-time, high-pressure situations. We move beyond isolated drills into dynamic speech coaching.

How we refine your fluency:

Prosody in Action: We focus on the "music" of English—sentence stress, intonation, and vowel reduction—applied to professional and social topics.

Real-Time Phonetic Correction: I provide detailed spoken and written feedback on your articulation, helping you identify when your native language habits slip back in during natural speech.

Advanced Phrasing: We replace "textbook" English with natural idioms and professional collocations that align with a standard American cadence.

What you get:

Detailed Feedback: Thorough correction of your target sounds during the flow of conversation.

Progress Tracking: A post-session report identifying recurring phonetic "blind spots" to focus on in your personal study.

👉 Best for: Professionals preparing for interviews, presentations, or those who want to sound authoritative and clear in spontaneous conversation.

Strategic Conversation & Feedback

Writing is about more than just grammar; it’s about logical flow and cultural tone. Whether you are drafting an email, a report, or a blog post, we will refine your sample together. I focus on natural word selection (collocations) and structural clarity to ensure your writing sounds professional and authoritative.

Precision Writing & Business Logic

Grammar is the skeleton of the language. If you feel like your English is 'shaky,' we will go back to basics or dive into advanced nuances like modal verbs and conditionals. I love the technical side of English, and I make complex rules easy to visualize and apply to your real-life conversations.
