Meshen W. says, "Nancy is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever met. She is very experienced, patient, and approachable. During our lessons, she helps correct my grammar and pronunciation in real time, which has been extremely helpful. Over the past two months, I’ve been taking lessons with her two to three times a week. I can clearly feel that my confidence in speaking English has improved a lot, especially in my professional field. If you’re looking for an English teacher, I highly recommend Nancy. At this point, our relationship feels more like friends who have built a great connection, which also makes the learning process more enjoyable and comfortable."See more

The sessions balance phonics work with reading practice and writing simple sentences.There was a good variety of materials, both for classwork and homework. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging."See more

Sophie C. says, "I have been learning English for many years, and I consider myself a very advanced learner. I have a rich vocabulary and a deep sense of life in the United States. However, I still had difficulty expressing myself at the level of a native American speaker, especially when it came to my accent. During eight months in Prof. Alex’s American Accent program, I made incredible progress. The mechanical training of sounds, intonation, and accent patterns was very important and helped me understand how to position my tongue and produce the correct sounds. This technical part of the training built a strong foundation for my accent development. But what made this program truly unique was Prof. Alex’s knowledge of psychology and psycholinguistics. Whenever I felt that a sound was not good enough, or when I could not clearly hear or feel the difference, he guided me through reflection. He helped me understand how the sound felt from my perspective and how it should sound to the American ear. This reflective process helped me move forward and develop a deeper connection with the language. As a native Spanish speaker, I always felt that the culture of speaking Spanish is very different from the culture of speaking in an American accent. At times, I was even afraid that by developing my American accent, I might lose a part of my Spanish cultural identity. However, Prof. Alex helped me understand something very powerful: both cultures are important, and having both makes you a stronger and more complete person. This idea made me feel safe, secure, and confident during the entire program. Because of this approach, I did not only improve my accent — I also transformed the way I see myself as a speaker of English. Today I often receive compliments from people who say my accent sounds very natural and close to native. More importantly, I feel that the language truly belongs to me, and I feel comfortable expressing myself in American culture while still keeping my Spanish identity. I am deeply grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Prof. Alex’s American Accent program to anyone who truly wants to transform their speech and confidence."See more

Sophie C. says, "I’ve been working with Prof. Alex for a while in one-on-one sessions, and I truly want to say that his app InPronunci is just as PERFECT and EFFECTIVE as taking classes with him in person. Working together with Prof. Alex and practicing in InPronunci brings a lot of VALUE. What I really love is that the app itself is structured exactly the same way he teaches in his classes. The SMART thing about the app is the human-based instructions, because they guide you exactly like he does during his lessons. You learn so much from these instructions—and as non-native speakers, we truly need that kind of guidance to start speaking better and more confidently. Changing your speech is a process that requires a lot of dedication. At first, I thought it would be like a regular English class, but Prof. Alex showed me that this was the wrong way of thinking. He guided me toward the best way to actually achieve real results, and I am very thankful for that. I needed someone who could mentor me in accent reduction, and Prof. Alex is truly the best when it comes to both mentoring and teaching. InPronunci motivates you and supports you because of its human-based guidance—and that makes a huge difference. The AI accent coach in the app is also a perfect addition, helping you evaluate your speech, stay in control of your mistakes, and correct them step by step. I love working with InPronunci, and I highly recommend this app to anyone who truly wants to achieve GREAT results. ADVICE: schedule a session with prof. Alex because by yourself you wont succeed Ive been there I know what I am talking about! Thank you, Prof. Alex! you are really PRO the best!"See more
