Be understood the first time
One-on-one sessions built around something real: an interview in six weeks, a meeting where you want to speak up, a new city where you want friends.
What we work on
How you sound, and how you come across
The sounds that matter
We find the two or three sounds behind most of your “sorry, what?” moments and fix those first. Your accent stays.
Talk like you live here
Small talk, slang, humor, texting, and when to switch into professional mode.
Get to know people
Class discussion, meetings, coffee chats, parties. The places where friendships and jobs start.
How we pick what to work on
Two things to fix first
You read and talk for a couple of minutes. We listen for the patterns that matter most for your goal, and you leave with a short list to start on this week.
We record you reading and talking (with your yes). A speech-scoring service scores the audio, and an AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) helps draft your feedback from the scores and a transcript that uses only your first name or initials. Your coach listens too, reviews everything, and decides what matters for your goal before you see any of it. The AI part is your choice: opt out at any time and your feedback comes from your coach alone. How we handle your data.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Anything else? Ask us on the free call.
Is this tutoring? Test prep?
Neither. If your English got you into a US school or job, you’re who we work with. We work on how you come across: speaking up in class or meetings, making friends, networking, interviews.
Will you get rid of my accent?
No, and we won’t try. Everyone has an accent, including us. We fix the few sounds that make people ask you to repeat yourself.
How much time does it take?
Usually one 60-minute session a week, plus about 15 minutes of practice a day. The 15 minutes matter more than you’d think.
Can you guarantee results? A job? A score?
No. Nobody honest can. We promise a clear plan, real feedback, and progress you can hear between your first recording and your last.
