Favorably and extensively reviewed and proven to be effective by students, the accent-reduction and/or speech synthesis program developed from dissertation research using multi-media methods. I have taught this subject for over eight years to public and private causes, as library, individuals, and language schools. My emphasis is an ecological approximation of the various sounds, rhythms, inflections, and patterns the spoken language integrates.
The goal is to develop a comprehensive, systematic voice/accent profile based on lesson/MP3 recordings using digital audio monitoring software. Students obtain a repository of audio files during each lesson to be used for actively evaluating individual expression while waiting in line, traffic, and during breaks. Also, a crash course option exists based more on broad familiarization than intensive ...

In my speech classes, I have worked with many people to reduce their accents over the years, and have been extremely successful.

Want to sound more like a native English speaker?? I would really love the opportunity to help you improve your English abilities. I believe in using examples, scenarios, conversation and visual aids to keep the class interesting. I listen to students needs in order to let you guide the lesson topics to where your learning needs and goals will be achieved. I am just a subject matter expert and a facilitator of your learning. I believe strongly in the value of education, self-learning and continuous learning. You will be a better learner if you approach each topic from your interests and from a discovery approach. You may find that learning English while also learning about other topics (business, careers, hobbies, interests, travel, culture, etc.) makes it more valuable.

I am experienced at helping non-US based English speakers to learn an American accent for acting reasons, business reasons, and for those wanting to learn an American accent as a hobby.

I have been teaching for over 7 years, here in the US and in Europe (I also speak fluent French but I’m American). I concentrate on accent reduction and pronunciation along with general conversation.
I make every class specific to each student. Every curriculum is created for that particular student to match with their interests.
I also like for students to have fun and enjoy my classes so we will laugh a lot!
Whether you want to improve your English for fun, school, or work or to pass a test or simply because you’ve just moved here - I will work with you to give you exactly what you want!
