I am interested in teaching pronunciation and accent reduction to non-native English speakers, and I am offering free one-on-one sessions/consultations. I only have a small amount of experience teaching pronunciation, though I have been fortunate to work with native speakers of Korean, Thai, Bengali, Urdu, and Spanish. I have many years of other teaching experience and some background in linguistics.
The purpose of the free session would be to assess, prioritize areas of focus, and come up with a plan for practicing. This could potentially be followed by additional sessions, for a negotiable fee.
Prior experience suggests that the most successful learners are those who:
-speak English fluently
-are able and motivated to practice frequently, for small amounts of time
-want to improve their pronunciation for specific communication purposes (for example, giving easily understandable academic presentations)
