These are exactly the things I can help with!
What a Session Might Look Like
The first thing I have to get out of the way is that as far as I see it, there is no such thing as "accent reduction"! Everybody who speaks has an accent, and this should be celebrated. However, there are times in which our native accents can create a barrier, especially in the workplace.
With advanced training in phonetics, a qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and experience teaching accents to over 100 students, I can offer a variety of techniques in an accent and dialect session. I have experience in teaching accent reduction to a wide range of clients - from Italy to India!
During a session we will work together to understand our goals and timescale. I cover the key features of your desired accent, create hook lines to help you in your own time, and create a series of exercises tailored to your individual needs. Each client will also leave with a detailed information pack with a recap of everything we covered in the session and a step-by-step guide to the exercises.

“Jess was always so helpful and so willing to go the extra mile to make sure I could speak truthfully in the accent. She also always made me feel very comfortable and safe trying new things and I’d really recommend working with her!”
