Who I Help
As an Accent Specialist, I work with adults from any language background who want to feel clearer, more confident, and more at ease when speaking English—whether for work, daily life, or personal growth. My clients are professionals from all over the world who already speak English well, but want their communication to feel smoother, more natural, and easier for others to understand.
Most of the people I coach use English every day in meetings, presentations, interviews, and client interactions. Many are international professionals who want to feel fully understood the first time they speak, without repeating themselves or worrying about how they sound. Some want to polish their pronunciation, while others want to strengthen their fluency, rhythm, or overall clarity.
If you want your communication to reflect your skills, experience, and personality more accurately—and you’re ready for supportive, individualized guidance—I would love to help you get there.
Assessments
Would you like an in-depth assessment before you decide which program is for you? Or, perhaps, you would like or need to present the results to your employer for educational purposes?
Do you represent a business and are interested in understanding where an employee or employees are having challenges in speaking and being understood by your clients/patients?

FAQ — Accent, Clarity, and Speech Coaching
What exactly is accent reduction and speech clarity coaching?
Accent and clarity coaching helps you speak English more clearly, confidently, and naturally. I focus on pronunciation, rhythm, stress, intonation, and the small habits that make communication smoother at work and in daily life. It’s not about removing your accent — it's about being easily understood and feeling comfortable in every conversation.
Who do you work with?
I work with international professionals from all language backgrounds who use English at work. Many of my clients are in tech, healthcare, business, education, research, public-facing roles, and leadership positions. Anyone who wants to sound clearer, more polished, and more confident is welcome.
How long does it take to notice improvement?
Most people begin noticing positive changes within 2–4 weeks, even with small adjustments to clarity, rhythm, and speech habits. Larger, lasting improvements usually develop over several months. The pace depends on your goals and how much practice you comfortably fit into your week.
Do you change or eliminate my accent?
No. My goal is not to remove your accent. Your accent is part of who you are.
I focus on helping you develop clear, effective communication by improving pronunciation, stress, pacing, fluency, and specific sound habits that may be getting in your way. You keep your identity — you simply gain clarity and confidence.
What’s the difference between 1:1, 1:2, and small group programs?
**Personalized 1:1 Coaching: Fully individualized support tailored to your pace, goals, and communication needs.
**Learn With a Friend (1:2): Two people with similar goals and language backgrounds learn together. Supportive, enjoyable, and cost-effective.
**Small Group Classes: A structured, guided program that builds clarity, rhythm, fluency, and confidence in a group setting.
All formats include personalized feedback and guided practice.
Can professionals take classes with a friend or colleague?
Yes — absolutely. As long as both participants share the same first language and have similar English rhythm and pronunciation patterns, 1:2 programs work extremely well. It’s motivating, interactive, and still very personalized.
Do you offer support for public speaking or presentations?
Yes. I offer targeted training for presentations, meetings, interviews, workplace communication, and any situation where you want to speak with clarity and confidence. This includes delivery skills, pacing, vocal presence, and the patterns that make your message easier to understand.
How do I know which program is right for me?
The best way to find out is to book a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll talk about your goals, your background, and what kind of support will help you most. There’s no pressure — just a friendly conversation to explore your options.

Echoes
Where Voice Leaves A Trace
In my work as an accent coach, I spend a lot of time listening — not just to sounds, but to the stories behind them. Echoes is a space for sharing quiet insights, reflections on language and identity, and the small moments that shape how we speak and connect.
Cancellation Policy
My cancellation policy is generous compared to others because I realize that life happens: sudden illnesses, emergencies, and other unforeseen events. The only thing I ask in return is a mutual understanding if I ever have to cancel with short notice.
Personalized Classes (25 minutes or 50 minutes)- require a 30 minute notice via email. You may re-book or accept a full refund.
Personalized Program ( 4, 8, or 12 weeks)- any session requires a 30 minute notice via email. You may re-book your session by email.
**If you choose not to return and I receive notification via email, you will receive a pro-rated refund minus 10%.
Small Groups- if you need to miss a session, please email me at least 30 minutes before class out of respect for myself and your classmates. Unfortunately, there is no make up session but I will send you a tape of the class plus your homework.
Refunds will be made on a pro-rated basis. There are no refunds after the third class (for the 4 session small group) and fifth class (for the 6 session small group) is completed.
