Weekly One-on-One Coaching Calls

I show you the systematic patterns in your tongue, lips, and jaw that create your current accent, then guide your muscles to adopt the movement patterns Americans naturally use.

Drawing on my experience with speakers of many languages, I use a scientific, research-based approach to retrain your mouth so your American accent becomes automatic, consistent, and natural in any context. Sessions include applying these movements to the key vowels and consonants that shape your accent and practicing them in realistic conversations with personalized feedback.

How My Coaching Works:
The 3-Step Method

Build Your American Mouth Settings

  • Learn the default tongue, jaw, and lip positions used in American speech.

  • Relax the muscles you typically hold tension in when speaking—tongue tip, back of the tongue, and lips—through guided step-by-step exercises. 

  • Complete step-by-step training to build a strong muscle foundation so your mouth moves like a native speaker’s before learning individual sounds.

Apply American Mouth Muscle Patterns to Key Sounds

  • Focus on vowels and high-impact consonants that differ from your native language.

  • Practice producing these sounds using the American mouth habits you’ve already trained, while keeping other muscles relaxed.

  • Train your tongue, lips, and jaw to work together naturally, so your speech sounds clear, consistent, and effortless.

Use Your New Accent in Real Work Scenarios

  • Go beyond drills: practice in realistic professional conversations.

  • Roleplay exercises and personalized feedback help your accent translate smoothly into meetings, presentations, and everyday speech.

The Transformation You'll Experience

Based on My Clients' Results

Be Consistently Understood at Work.

What coaching does: Every language has default tongue and mouth movement patterns. Some create tension in areas Americans naturally keep relaxed—like the tongue tip, back of the tongue, and lips—which can make non-native speakers harder to understand. In coaching, you’ll release that tension and retrain your mouth to move in the flexible, relaxed style Americans use—with personalized guidance every step of the way.

Workplace impact: Your speech becomes instantly clearer and easier to follow. Colleagues ask you less to repeat yourself, and listeners stay engaged because your words flow in patterns their ears expect.

Know How to Make Your Accent Sound American.

What coaching does: Most programs teach sounds in isolation, but if your tongue and lips are still carrying the habits from your native language, the sounds will never come out the same way a native speaker makes them. With my method, we train your default muscle settings—the shapes, alignments, and movements of the tongue that create American sounds in the first place.

Workplace and social impact: Instead of sounding “close enough,” you’ll know exactly how to make your accent sound American when you want to. Whether you want to feel more connected socially or expand your career opportunities, my coaching will help you do that.

Speak Clearly Under Pressure.

What coaching does: Quick tips often fall apart in high-stakes situations because the underlying habits haven’t changed. We go deeper: your automatic movements are rewired so they hold even when you’re thinking about your ideas, not your accent.

Workplace impact: Whether presenting, interviewing, or speaking on the spot, your accent stays clear and consistent—letting you focus on leading the conversation, not correcting yourself.

Confidence You Can Feel—Because I’m Guiding You Every Step!

What coaching does: Each week, I watch how your tongue, lips, and jaw move, show you what’s holding you back, and guide you to make your American accent a habit. You’re never practicing alone—I correct, coach, and cheer you on until it feels automatic.

Workplace impact: You speak with confidence you can rely on, because you’ve been guided, corrected, and supported every step of the way. Your presence feels natural, professional, and in command—no matter the situation.

Reduce Accent Bias and Communicate with Authority.

What coaching does: Many listeners unconsciously associate non-native accents with lower language ability or professionalism—even when that isn’t true. I show you how to strategically adjust your accent so it reflects your expertise, confidence, and authority without erasing your identity.

Workplace and social impact: You gain control over how you sound in any setting. Whether you want to emphasize clarity in a board meeting, assert authority in presentations, or connect more in conversation, the American accent becomes a communication tool you can put on and take off like an accessory.

Keep Your Accent Changes for Life.

What coaching does: Temporary fixes fade fast if the underlying muscle patterns aren’t addressed. I guide you in rewiring your muscle habits so the new patterns become your default.

Workplace impact: Instead of temporary progress, you’ll keep your results for the long run. Your accent feels natural, automatic, and permanent—so you don’t waste years re-learning the same things.

Why This Matters

 

By addressing the root physical causes of accent—tongue shape, style of movement, and muscle use—you create lasting changes that allow your speech to sound natural and professional.

These foundational habits give you a distinct advantage: you communicate clearly, influence effectively, reduce misunderstandings, and project leadership presence in every professional context.

With personalized coaching, you’re being guided, corrected, and supported in real time, so your new accent becomes a natural part of your speech, fast and effectively.

Lucile, Content Creator from France

★★★★★ 5/5

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.

César, Software Engineer from Mexico

★★★★★ 5/5

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.

Moving to the USA for a career opportunity made this essential. Mary, as an accent coach, has been invaluable. She provides personalized advice, high-quality materials, and comprehensive feedback.

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.

Carlos, HR Business Partner from Venezuela

★★★★★ 5/5

I want to express my gratitude for the incredible coaching I've received over the past five months.

Working with Mary has led to a huge improvement in my English pronunciation and intonation.

Her professionalism and attention to detail have made a significant impact on my accent reduction journey. 

The techniques she employs are truly the best I've seen, and each session has been immensely beneficial for me.

David, Software Engineer from Spain

★★★★★ 5/5

I have greatly benefited from Mary's English pronunciation lessons. Her expertise in identifying and addressing the specific challenges Spanish speakers face is remarkable.

Mary's focus on detailed tongue movements and articulation has significantly improved my pronunciation.

Mary’s teaching methods are clear, patient, and practical. She effectively highlights the differences between Spanish and English pronunciation, providing examples and exercises that have helped me practice and understand these distinctions in context.

I highly recommend Mary to anyone seeking to enhance their English pronunciation skills.

Cristina, ESL Teacher from Italy

★★★★★ 5/5

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.

She is 100% the professional you're looking for if you want to sound like a real American.

Suyen, Client from Honduras

★★★★★ 5/5

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.

Adriana Monsalve, Emmy Award-Winning Sportscaster from Venezuela

★★★★★ 5/5

It wasn’t easy to find someone to help me improve my communications skills for TV as English is not my first language.

Mary The Accent Coach has been a blessing for me. She is as passionate about her work as I am about mine, and that’s a key factor that influenced my decision to continue taking classes from her. It’s not easy to find that kind of chemistry with a coach.

Mary encourages me to be better in every class, and she’s helped me to build more confidence in my speaking.

Katia, Google Content Moderator from Russia

★★★★★ 5/5

 I've been working with Mary for a few months, and my accent has improved.

Changing the accent is very challenging, and you must have a professional working with you. Mary is a trusted coach you can hire!

Leonardo, Airline Pilot from Italy

★★★★★ 5/5

I have a job in which I have to keep a high standard of the English language, and Mary made this happen.

If there is ANY reason why you must improve your English, (job related or just for personal reasons), she is the right choice.

You’re gonna be able to see improvements after the first class.

Get the Fastest, Most Lasting Results

Consistency is the key to building a native-sounding American accent.

Your weekly coaching sessions are designed to be completed within a structured 3- or 6-month program, depending on your goals and schedule. This timeframe is intentional — it gives you enough time to train your mouth muscles, develop smooth rhythm, and make new habits stick, while keeping you focused and on track.

By committing to a program timeframe, you will:

  • Build strong new habits faster

  • Stay on track and avoid falling behind

  • Make measurable progress every week

  • Get the full value of coaching and see results quickly

To keep things simple and effective:

  • Sessions require at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule

  • All sessions must be completed within your program timeframe

This structure keeps your practice consistent and helps you achieve the accent results you’re aiming for — as quickly as possible.

🔒 Enrollment Is Limited

✨ My private coaching program is intentionally kept small so every client gets direct attention, tailored feedback, and accountability. That means space is limited—and once those spots are taken, I won’t be able to bring in new clients for several months.

This isn’t a “course” you do on your own—it’s an immersive, guided process where I personally walk you through the exact muscle training and sound strategies you need to make real, lasting changes in your accent.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment—this is it.

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.

 

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. 

And 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!
