Speak with Confidence: Coaching for Students
University life and early career experiences are full of opportunities to speak up - in class discussions, presentations, interviews, or group projects. But for many students, pronunciation differences or accent-related challenges can make it harder to feel confident when communicating.
American English Accent Coaching is a personalized elective service designed to refine your spoken American English. The goal of accent modification training is not to eliminate an individual’s first language (L1) or disconnect individuals from their linguistic community.
Each session is personalized to your goals and background. You’ll practice real-world speaking skills that help you sound natural and confident in every setting.
Improve pronunciation and sound accuracy
Strengthen rhythm, stress, and intonation
Develop listening and self-correction skills
Build confidence for presentations and interviews
Receive individualized feedback and practice exercises
Session frequency varies for each client based on individual goals, needs, and availability.
It's important to understand that accents are NOT communication disorders; rather, accents are a natural aspect of language. Every individual possesses an accent shaped by their linguistic background and community. Accents and dialects are intertwined with personal identity and cultural heritage.
How American English Accent Coaching Works
1️⃣ Schedule a Free Consultation
Start with a complimentary 15-minute call to discuss your goals and questions. We’ll talk about what you’d like to improve, whether that’s pronunciation, rhythm, confidence, or clarity, and I’ll explain how coaching sessions are structured.
2️⃣ Complete an Accent & Communication Evaluation
If you decide to move forward, your first session is a 50-minute evaluation. This helps identify your unique speech patterns, language influences, and priorities so your plan is completely personalized.
3️⃣ Begin Your Personalized Coaching Program
We’ll meet online for 35-minute sessions focused on your specific goals. Session frequency will vary. A recommendation on frequency will be decided upon the coaches recommended frequency and student goals. Each session includes targeted exercises, real-world practice, and actionable feedback to help you sound clear, confident, and natural in American English.
4️⃣ Practice Between Sessions
You’ll receive short, customized practice tasks to strengthen your progress between sessions. No overwhelming homework, just focused, effective practice.
5️⃣ Track Progress and Celebrate Results
We’ll regularly review your progress together, fine-tuning your goals and celebrating milestones along the way. Many students report feeling more confident, more understood, and more relaxed speaking English within just a few sessions.
