What our clients say
“Steven taught me for 9 months in weekly sessions focused on accent training. He is very easy to work with — approachable and an engaging conversation partner. The biggest improvement for me came from his guidance on syllable and word stress. I enjoyed the balance of structured exercises and free speech practice. At the end of every lesson, I received detailed feedback on my free speech, highlighting accent and grammatical points for improvement — feedback I rarely get in professional settings as a fluent English speaker.
I’m happy to recommend Steven to anyone looking to improve their spoken English and move closer to a natural American accent.”

Our Process
The Path to Clear, Confident Communication
We guide you through a structured process—assessment, personalized training, and practice—so you see real progress in your communication.
Refine Your Pronunciation
Master tricky consonants, vowels, and word connections that make English challenging. Even advanced speakers discover small adjustments that lead to big improvements in clarity and fluency.
Master Rhythm & Intonation
Speaking clearly isn’t just about pronunciation—it’s also how you link those sounds together. Learn how to use pitch, stress, and linking to make your speech sound natural, engaging, and easy to follow.
Strengthen Your Speaking Voice
Build a confident, professional voice by training your posture, breath, and resonance. With the right techniques, your voice will sound fuller, more dynamic, and ready for any stage, meeting, or recording.
