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.
