English Phonetician with over 10 years of experience teaching English provides expert English pronunciation guidance for accent reduction.

ACCENT REDUCTION SPECIALIST
Unlike most ESL teachers, I hold an MA in Applied Linguistics. In other words, I have training to help my students with their accent and pronunciation. Check out the reviews in my profile. I have helped many students reduce their accents. That is the first step to being understood.

In three to five one-hour sessions, I can:
• Show you how to control those sounds that are hard to make
and hear. (I mean, all of our mouths are made the same, right?)
• Teach you American English intonation, cadence, etc.
• And teach you American English word structure: syllable
stress/accent, syllable types, permissible clusters, etc.

FULLY ONLINE
I am set-up to take advantage of all that the internet has to offer. We work over Skype. This allows you to see the shape of my mouth and where my tongue is and vice-versa. We have your lessons on an on-line whiteboard, Idroo, that we can both see and write on. We do our speaking and listening homework over Extempore.com. Extempore lets you see and hear me pronouncing something and then gives you a chance to repeat it into your camera and microphone until you feel that it is right and then send it to me for grading. The homework will keep you busy learning outside of class so that you will advance more quickly without spending as much money.

LEARNER CENTERED
My teaching style is learner-centered and learner directed. This means that each session is for you and not for me. My lesson plan is always flexible. If you want to drill sounds for an hour, I will be patient. If you want to lighten up and have a relaxed conversation, I will accommodate. If you want something in-between, just let me know!

SAFE AND RELAXED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
At the various schools where I have taught, I've always achieved high marks in building student rapport and setting the right environment for learning.
