Grant N. says, "Prof. Alex works professionally and responsibly. My English speaking has improved after 2 months of working with him. I know there is still more to do, but I am so excited to let people know that you don't need to struggle with your speech or learn forever. In the orientation session I had, I thought it would take forever, but Professor explained to me what it takes to improve my speaking abilities. He is a professional linguist who knows his stuff. He trains my speaking patterns really well! In every session, I feel my speaking confidence goes above and beyond. My American accent improves, and people don't ask me to repeat myself or say "Huh?" to me all the time anymore. It is real—you can improve your speaking. You just need to know with whom you do that, because not everyone here is a professional linguist with a Ph.D. and 20 years of travel and teaching experience. Prof. Alex is very unique. He is very innovative, which means I have access to his interactive 2D technology where I can train the correct pronunciation of every American sound, and that really improves the quality of my speech! He has developed a great structured accent program, from speaking drills to actually public speaking. It is a very worthy program and the best I have had a chance to educate myself with! I strongly recommend Prof. Alex and his American Accent Coaching! He is the TOP PRO!"See more

Teaching is my expertise and passion, and it's been the throughline of my career for nearly twenty years, three of them as a dedicated ESL instructor. What I care about most is precision. I've spent my career looking for the structure underneath things, first in the ground as an archaeologist working in the US, Ecuador, Panama, and France, now in language, and there is real satisfaction in watching someone go from translating word by word in their head to simply thinking in English. That shift is not incremental. It's a kind of arrival, and I've built my teaching around getting people there faster than they expect. I bring to that work a set of tools most instructors don't have: fluency in Spanish and English, professional proficiency in French, working knowledge of Slovak, and two decades of experience communicating complex material across language and cultural gaps with adult learners at every level, from complete beginners to advanced professionals preparing for exams like the IELTS.See more
