FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover the answers to common questions about accent coaching.

Will I lose my original accent?

No! Your accent is a beautiful part of your cultural identity. When you learn how to speak with an North American English accent, you can turn it "on" or "off" whenever you want.

Will I be pressured into signing up for your services?

No! After you complete a free consultation, there's no obligation to sign up.

What level of English do I need to start?

My coaching is most valuable for those who have already studied English to at least an Intermediate level. Because I focus heavily on pronunciation, I expect you to have a working English vocabulary already.

How long will it take me to sound like a native English speaker?

Consistent practice is key to progressing rapidly. Many of my clients see significant improvement in about 3 months with one-on-one coaching sessions scheduled once or twice a week.

Do you offer any discounts?

When you pay for multiple sessions in advance, I offer a prepaid discount.

What if I need to stop my studies?

I work for you as your coach to help you meet the goals you set. If you need to adjust your schedule or stop your studies, let me know and we can create a plan to stop or continue.

" I've been working with Rachel for quite some time now and if I were to point out a single thing she's really good at, it's her ability to explain how sounds should be made: where to put your tongue, which lip position to make. If you feel like that's what you need, don't hesitate! But even aside from that you are getting everything you can expect from a top tier teacher she definitely is! "

" Rachel has an excellent attitude. The class is very dynamic, and her methodology is outstanding. She has a lot of experience in language teaching, and as a coach, I love the way she connects the anatomy of the mouth with the sounds, creating a deeper connection with the body when producing them. I really enjoy her class and her energy. "

" I took classes with Rachel a couple of years ago. At that time, my English was very bad and I couldn’t speak or comprehend the language well enough to talk with native speakers. She was able to help me a lot with both my pronunciation and grammar. She explained it to me very well and she has a ton of patience. I would recommend Rachel to anyone trying to learn or to improve what you do know! "
