Limited Time Offer: English Lessons Now Only $65!
Book a trial if the way you speak affects your job or personal life. Book a trial lesson if you want to learn everything about the American accent and how it differs from your first language. Book a trial if you're just obsessed with languages! I'm honored to teach you everything I know.
Are you from Ukraine, Russia, or Brazil and seeking mastery in pronunciation? If so, you've found a coach who understands the unique challenges you may face. Before we dive into the world of sounds, kindly introduce yourself before booking a trial lesson.
I WELCOME ADULT STUDENTS AT AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL OR ABOVE from these regions and many others, recognizing the distinct beauty and patterns in your native languages. As your pronunciation guide, I am committed to helping you navigate the subtleties of the American accent, turning the complex into the understandable.
In our lessons, we'll honor the richness of your mother tongue while embracing the nuances of the general American accent. We will embark on a journey of sound exploration, fostering self-acceptance, and embracing change. Remember, refining your pronunciation starts with appreciating your unique voice.
This learning path requires realism and commitment. Together, we will develop a bespoke plan focusing on the consonants, vowels, rhythm, and connected speech that will most benefit you. Consistent practice and daily recordings will form the backbone of your progress, with my guidance every step of the way.
Please note, all lessons will be conducted via recorded Zoom calls, ensuring a seamless learning experience. Ensure your setup includes a proper audio, video, and internet connection on your computer (not a phone or tablet) to facilitate this.
Introduce yourself and SPECIFY your goals when booking your lesson. The more I know about you, the better I can tailor our sessions to your needs. If you do this, I'll give you a %50 discount for the first lesson, but you must message me with the aforementioned information.
Looking forward to hearing from you and crafting a path to pronunciation excellence.

My trial lessons
For the trial lesson, we'll meet through zoom to get acquainted with each other, your pain points, and the way I teach. I'll take notes about the way you speak in order to give feedback about how we can move forward together.
