On this 1-on-1 Zoom call, we're going to take the first step in the framework I use to teach my clients: Understand. Drill. Simulate. (UDS)
Since you're at the beginning of this journey, you need to take a concrete step towards Understand.
I'll have you read a text document for me. This document targets the most common mistakes non-native speakers make when trying to speak American-English.
As you read, I'll be taking notes. After you're done, I'll walk you through everything I noticed that makes you sound:
unclear
anxious / unsure
foreign
This crucial step gives you the jumping off point for finally working on your accent so you stop missing out on social and financial opportunities because of the way you speak.

I call my teaching framework the UDS Method (Understand. Drill. Simulate). This simple yet powerful 3-step process is all you need to turn your unclear and unsure way of speaking into clear, confident American English.
Understand
It all starts with awareness. Both of your mistakes and how to do things correctly. We'll explain exactly what your mistakes are and how to fix them.
Drill
You need to turn what you now understand on a theoretical level into habits. The goal is to not even have to think about everything you've learned while you speak. In an ideal world, you just focus on what you're trying to communicate.
Simulate
Ever heard this quote? "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
If you only practice in controlled and easy environments, you'll never be able to maintain your clarity and accent in high-stakes situations. You need to pressure test what you've learned in the first two steps.

If you're a good fit for my coaching program, I'll explain your options - including pricing, scheduling, and how the training works. There's no pressure to commit. If you're not ready, you'll still leave with valuable insights.

Yes.
This isn't generic or some AI tool. I'll listen to you read and speak, take notes and explain which sounds/habits/concepts are holding you back. You'll leave with clear next steps, whether we end up working together long-term or not.

Not a problem. You can reschedule or cancel up to half an hour before the call. After that, the fee is non-refundable - simply because it blocks time I could have given to someone else.
