You’re already successful in your career — but your accent may still create challenges in important professional conversations.

I help professionals in technology, engineering, finance, law, medicine, entertainment, and other communication-focused fields develop a more native-like American accent through personalized 1-on-1 coaching.

We meet weekly to work on the specific aspects of your speech that are affecting your communication. Between sessions, you’ll receive personalized practice exercises and support so you can continue building new speaking habits and applying them to real professional situations.

Your first language has a specific set of sounds, and you produce those sounds by moving your mouth muscles in specific ways.

If you speak English using the same sounds and mouth movements you use in your first language, you may experience challenges such as mispronouncing common industry words, sounding unclear on calls, needing to repeat yourself, or feeling less confident speaking.

My goal is to give you greater control over how you speak so you can use an American accent as a tool to communicate more effectively in professional situations.

I work with professionals from around the world, including speakers of Russian, Polish, Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and many other languages.

"The Mary Formula is the way to go! I’ve been working with her for 7 months now and it has been a total game-changer. I honestly can’t believe the transformation.

Being a native Polish speaker, I can’t imagine being able to decipher all these sounds just by ear. The sessions are intensive and the training between lessons leaves my muscles sore, but... ever so slightly more capable :) We stick to the program but with a personalized approach to my first language's unique quirks.

Her meticulous eye (and ear!) for detail stands out more than anything else I could have expected. Most importantly, it works. I've noticed a difference in my speech fairly quickly and am excited for more!"

Lucile, Content Creator from France

★★★★★

"I've been working with Mary for around a year and a half, and I am so impressed at how much progress I've made.

I have a public facing job where I speak English all the time, and I feel way more confident about being understood.

Also, I regularly get compliments on my accent, which is always nice!

Mary is extremely detail oriented, she knows exactly what is going on with every little muscle in your mouth and how to position exactly to sound more American.

I am amazed at how much she knows and how she is able to convey that simply and efficiently."

My coaching programs help you develop an American accent through a structured 3-step training system.

STEP 1: BUILD AMERICAN SPEECH MOVEMENT PATTERNS

I teach you the core tongue shapes and movement patterns used in American English so you can produce American English sounds the way Americans do. 

These factors determine whether American English sounds are produced accurately or influenced by the movement patterns your first language taught your tongue to use:

⚙️ Tongue shape
Learn the tongue shapes needed to form each sound.

📍 Tongue position
Understand where your tongue should sit and move within your mouth for the sounds of American English.

↔️ Movement direction
Train the direction and range of movement needed for American sounds, including forward, central, and retracted positioning.

⚙️ Muscle coordination
Learn how to relax certain tongue muscles while actively engaging others to create the precise movements needed for American sounds.

〰️ Style of tongue movement
Learn how to make the lighter, more relaxed, and small controlled tongue movements used in many American sounds, instead of relying on tighter or stronger tongue movements from your first language.

STEP 2: LEARN THE AMERICAN ENGLISH SOUND SYSTEM

You learn the full system of American English sounds and how to physically produce each one using precise tongue movement and mouth positioning.

🔤 Sound system mastery
Learn every American vowel and core consonant from the ground up—or refine the sounds you already know so they become more precise and native-like.

👂 Sound recognition
Learn to recognize American sounds when you hear them.

📝 Word patterns
Understand where sounds appear in real words.

🗣️ Physical production
Produce sounds using the tongue movements that create American sounds, rather than the movement patterns from your first language.

🔄 Automatic control
Build consistency through progressive practice in syllables, words, and phrases so these movement patterns become reliable in real speech.

STEP 3: APPLY IN REAL CONVERSATIONS

Once you’ve learned the sounds, we move into guided roleplay where you speak about your work—meetings, projects, and professional situations.

💼 Guided roleplay
Speak about your work, including meetings, projects, and professional situations.

🎯 Real-time coaching
I prompt you to recognize and actively use the American English sounds you learned while you are speaking about your work.

🔍 Speech pattern correction
I identify when your tongue falls back into the movements it naturally uses in your first language and coach you toward the movements you need to make for the American sound.

🔄 Real-world integration
Bridge the gap between knowing the sounds and using them in professional communication.

How It Works 

My Method to Putting on An Accent

 

Every language, and every accent for that matter, has its own general mouth settings that its sounds are born out of. 

 

Some languages are spoken with a wider, concave tongue shape and others are spoken with a narrower, convex tongue shape. Some are spoken with a larger space in the back of the mouth, and some are spoken in a small space in the front of the mouth.

Speaking English with the mouth settings of your native language is like trying to play a guitar using piano techniques. Even though you're making music, the sound won't be right because the movements and techniques required for each instrument are different.

Similarly, if you try to speak English using the mouth movements of your native language, your English will still sound like your mother tongue.

While using slightly different mouth movements can give your accent an exotic 'flavor,' using the exact same settings as your native language will prevent you from consistently pronouncing words correctly and being easily understood by native speakers.

The good news is that you can learn new mouth settings even as an adult! 

Do kids have it easier? Yes, because they don't have to consciously learn how to move their mouths by taking my classes, and they naturally become native speakers.

 

However, you can sound a lot closer to a native English speaker by taking classes that teach you the specific style of muscle movements Americans use in their everyday speech.

 

Then you'll learn how we apply these settings to our sounds, making them sound much more natural. 

Finally, you'll take what you learn in my classes and make a conscious effort to use those new speech settings in your daily conversations.

Let's be honest -- that is HARD WORK, and your results don't only depend on me.

It's a team effort; you'll have to practice every day in between, record yourself, correct yourself, and intentionally concentrate on your speech in your everyday conversations.

But if you commit to the process, you will love the way you sound in English!

Client Case Study

“Mary is transforming the way I communicate. I've improved my accent, and I've also learned to speak with better rhythm. The technique and tools she uses to teach are really professional and effective."

"She's the perfect coach to master your English communication skills. What can I say? I wish I’d found her sooner.”

Working with Mary has been an excellent decision. As a native Spanish speaker, I wanted to develop a more American accent to gain confidence, be better understood, and improve my overall communication skills.

Now, I am more conscious of mouth movements, the rhythm, intonation, and sounds of American English.

As a Software Engineer, effective communication is crucial, and Mary's guidance has been very helpful. I enjoyed her sessions and highly recommend her coaching services to anyone seeking to refine their English communication and develop an American accent.

I've been working with Mary for 5 months, and my accent has changed significantly! 

Before having classes with her, I was imitating the American accent without actually articulating the sounds as a native speaker.

Thanks to Mary, now I know exactly how to move my tongue for each and every sound, and I'm also improving my intonation!

She is meticulous, patient, and passionate. She always finds a way to guide you through the sounds, even when it feels so difficult and different from what you're used to.

I have been studying English and pronunciation for many years and realized that to improve my pronunciation, I needed someone to help me. That's when I found Mary, and I am very happy I did! She has guided me in identifying the areas I need to focus on and why.

Previously, despite self-study, I was unaware of my specific mistakes and how to address them. Now, with Mary's guidance, I can recognize and improve those areas.

Another advantage is that Mary is fluent in Spanish, which allows her to explain English sounds more effectively to a native Spanish speaker.

Beyond the regular class sessions, she provides access to a huge library of resources to study and review, which has been incredibly helpful. She also sets clear goals for each lesson and pinpoints exactly where I need to improve, making every session focused and effective.

She's incredibly responsive whenever I have questions and reviews my homework in great detail. I can’t recommend her highly enough if you’re looking for an accent reduction or speaking coach."

"After years of studying English and still struggling with pronunciation— to the point where I thought I had hearing issues or something wrong with my tongue— I discovered Mary, and working with her and her videos has been the best thing that ever happened to me.

I realized there’s nothing wrong with me— I just didn’t know how to use my tongue muscles or how to make the movements required to speak English clearly. By following all the information in her videos, I’ve been able to improve my pronunciation, and I constantly go back to review them because they’re so detailed, I don’t want to miss anything."
