About Me
BUSINESS ENGLISH / INTERVIEW PREPARATION / PRONOUNCIATION / ACCENT REDUCTION / GRAMMAR / ETC.
Is it possible to change your accent permanently?
The answer is: yes!
Changing an accent is possible. In fact, we constantly change our accents as we encounter and learn new languages, new cultures, and behavioral changes in life. However, it takes a lot of time, effort, and practice before you can notice drastic changes.
The best way to improve your speaking skills is by neutralizing your native accent until it starts to get less noticeable. We can do this by training your speech, emulating how native speakers talk, and focusing on the elements involved in the rhythm of English.
WHY DO I TEACH? Because the feeling of applying the knowledge learned to one's everyday life is very rewarding. Teaching is an intense passion of mine and I do not plan on stopping anytime soon.
On top of my extensive knowledge of languages and a prestigious degree at Stanford University, I also teach math and science to high school/college students.
When I am not working as a teacher I enjoy playing soccer, traveling, discussing climate change, and making short documentary films.
I would love to help you succeed. Let's learn together! :-)
