Oradell, NJ Accent Reduction Lessons

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

I am available to help reduce accents of students from any country.

I can help you with accent reduction. I have taught many ESL, ESOL, TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC students to improve their speaking, listening, writing and reading comprehension. I will cover accent reduction, phonemes, graphemes, tongue position and common mistakes made by various nationalities. These are my specialty regions:
Japan
China, Taiwan
Ukraine, Soviet Union
Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran
Brazil, Peru, Argentina
Nigeria, Morocco
Spain, France, Italy
Germany, Poland
India, Pakistan

We can also cover grammar, vocabulary, spelling, sentence structure, tenses, subject-verb agreement and punctuation.

Using phonetic tools and charts, I help students achieve a more natural American English pronunciation tailored to individual strengths and weaknesses. I work with the student's base language as a point of comparison and help in all aspects of the English from basic sound structures to more complicated intonation in different types of sentences.

I've been teaching accent reduction lessons for about 6 years now, and have seen many people of all different backgrounds improve.

I can help you adapt your accent or dialect for an acting role or for business/professional purposes. “Accent reduction” is sort of a misnomer because what we’re really doing is learning a different accent; we all have accents. I can help you code-switch between your habitual dialect and one that you feel is more suitable for your situation.

I offer lessons to ELL and ESL students who seek to reduce their accent. This is a phonological process that I and my student undergo in structured lessons that we plan and work through together.

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.
