What is Accent Improvement?

Accent improvement, or accent modification, allows you to change your accent so that when you speak English, you will sound more like a native English speaker.  Specifically, you will change the sounds, stress patterns and intonation of your speech so that it fits a Standard American English (SAE) accent.

Our Goal:
The goal at English Accent Tutor is to help students improve their speech and gain confidence in the process.

Certified Speech-Language Tutors:
English Accent Tutor accomplishes this by providing Speech-Language Pathologists certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

The PESL method of accent modification is an evidence-based method of teaching accent modification techniques for non-native and regional American English speakers.
