AMERICAN ENGLISH WITH STEVEN

Sound as Confident as You Are Capable

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to accent coaching. I listen carefully to how you speak, identify the patterns that may be affecting your clarity or naturalness, and create personalized lessons to address your individual needs. Whether you're an actor preparing for an audition or a professional communicating at work, our goal is the same: to help you speak American English with clarity, confidence, and ease.

Experience That Makes a Difference

With more than 40 years of ESL teaching experience, a Master's degree from Georgetown University, specialized training in American Accent Training, and firsthand experience as a language learner and performer, I bring a unique perspective to accent coaching.

Because I speak French, Spanish, and Japanese, I understand the challenges of learning to communicate naturally in another language.

For actors, my experience goes beyond pronunciation. As a stage performer and longtime L.A. theater reviewer, I can help you develop the American word stress, rhythm, intonation, emphasis, and pacing that make an audition sound authentic—without sacrificing the emotional truth of your performance.

Coaching Built Around Your Goals

No two students are alike.

I begin by listening carefully to how you speak and discussing what you want to accomplish. I then create individualized lessons that focus on the specific areas that will make the biggest difference for you.

Depending on your goals, we may work on:

• Pronunciation of specific sounds
• American word stress, rhythm, and intonation
• Workplace communication and presentations
• Job interviews and professional conversations
• Audition scenes, monologues, and character work

Your first introductory lesson is FREE.
After that, individual 50-minute lessons are $40, with discounted packages available.
