New to working with me? This session is a low-commitment way to experience my teaching style and get a first read on your speech — no prep, no pressure, just an hour to see if we're a good fit.

We'll spend the time on whichever area interests you most - pronunciation, prosody, or fluency - so you get a real feel for how I teach, not just a conversation about it. Along the way, I'll start noticing patterns: sounds or rhythms that stand out, areas that might be worth deeper focus.

What to expect:

Your choice of focus: Tell me what you're curious about, and we'll spend the hour there.
A first impression, not a full picture: This session gives me a quick read, not a complete assessment - think of it as a taste of both my teaching style and what working together might look like.

A next-step recommendation: At the end, I'll share what I noticed and suggest where to go from here - whether that's a themed class, or my full Speech Assessment if you want a comprehensive, prioritized plan before diving in.

I look forward to meeting you! :)

Speaking with Feedback

Do you feel your colleagues often misunderstand you? Are you often asked to repeat yourself?

If you know your English needs work but aren't sure where to start, this comprehensive program is for you. We’ll cover the key sounds, rhythms, and intonation patterns that don't exist in your native language - giving you the tools to speak clearly, accurately, and with confidence.

How It Works:
We begin with an initial assessment to pinpoint your primary communication roadblocks. From there, you'll receive a custom roadmap drawing from my core curriculum:

High-Impact Consonants: TH, L, R, consonant clusters, and T variations (aspirated, flapped, stopped, omitted).

Vowels & Diphthongs: Front vowels, back vowels, diphthongs, and mastering the Schwa.

Prosody & Natural Flow: Word stress, sentence rhythm, function word reductions, intonation, and connected speech.

Real-World Practice: Bring your own work materials - such as upcoming presentations or interview prep - so we can apply these skills directly to your daily life.

Tailored 1:1 Coaching: Through personalized 1:1 lessons, we’ll adapt the curriculum to target your specific accent goals

Pronunciation & American Accent Training

Did you know American English has 15 distinct vowel sounds? If your native language only has 5 to 7, you might be merging similar sounds without realizing it - making it harder for listeners to understand you.

In this program, you'll work on the exact mouth mechanics and tongue movements needed to produce precise, natural-sounding vowels so you can communicate with total clarity.

What we may work on:

Sound Breakdown: Essential American vowels often skipped in traditional classes — or fine-tuning the ones you know so they sound more native-like.

Physical Mechanics Training: Step-by-step guidance on tongue positioning, jaw opening, and mouth shape for the vowels most relevant to you.

Audio Practice Worksheets: Downloadable practice sheets with audio guides so you can build muscle memory between lessons.

Which vowels matter most for you depends on your native language and specific speech patterns, and that's exactly what we'll identify together.

This class works well for two kinds of students: those with prior training who've already identified a specific, known issue to refine, and those trying my teaching methods for the first time. A first session isn't a full assessment - it's a read on what stands out within our focused work together. At the end of it, I'll share what I noticed and what I'd recommend next, which may include a full formal evaluation if we want a complete picture before building a long-term plan.

Master the Vowel Sounds of American English

Stop repeating yourself and start speaking with confidence! In this targeted program, you’ll master the trickiest American consonant sounds so listeners understand you the very first time. You’ll learn precise mouth and tongue placement, giving you control over how you produce every sound.

Sounds we may work on:

American R, Dark L, TH, S vs. Z, V vs. B, the different Ts, consonant clusters, and -ED endings - the sounds that most often trip up clear communication. Which of these matter most for you depends on your specific speech patterns, and that's exactly what we'll identify together.

What's Included:

Core Sound Work: Targeted practice on the consonants most relevant to your speech, drawn from the list above.

Audio Practice Worksheets: Downloadable sheets with native audio guides so you can practice effectively between lessons.

Master the Consonant Sounds of American English

Mastering a language isn't just about individual sounds - it's about how your words flow together. Prosody is the melody of language: your intonation, rhythm, word stress, and pacing. Mastering these elements is the secret to sounding natural, expressive, and easy to understand.

Take your English to the next level by learning how native speakers shape sentences, connect sounds, and play with their pitch to convey meaning.

What we may work on:

Flow & Connection: Connected speech, reductions, and the mechanics of fast speech.
Rhythm & Emphasis: Word stress, sentence rhythm, and dynamic intonation patterns.

Expression & Technique: Using your voice to reflect mood and intention, and controlling how your message is received.

Shadowing: Analyzing and practicing speech step by step, so you can apply what you've learned to real material.

Which of these matter most for you depends on your specific speech patterns, and that's exactly what we'll identify together.

If we continue working together, later sessions will be shaped by that initial read, which may point to different priorities than the ones listed above - including foundational pronunciation work if needed.
