12-Week 1:1 Accent Training | Jess

This is an intensive, structured program for people who are serious about changing their accent and ready to practice 10–15 minutes a day. If you're looking for something lighter and more conversational, Conversation + Feedback Sessions are a separate service worth a look first.

It Starts With a Complimentary Accent Assessment

Before we begin the 12-week program, you get a 30–50 minute Accent Assessment. This is where I get to know your background with English, your goals, and the pronunciation patterns that are holding you back.

During the assessment, I:

  • Ask targeted questions about how you learned English
  • Listen to your natural speech
  • Identify patterns that affect clarity and hold you back from your goals
  • Determine which sounds or concepts your program will focus on
  • Share the main sounds I already know we'll need to work on

This is crucial β€” I only take clients I know I can help, and it lets me build a fully personalized plan before we start.

Good to know: The Accent Assessment is complimentary when you join the program. If, after the assessment, either of us decides the program isn't the right fit, you'll receive a refund minus a consultation and administrative fee.

No Two Programs Look the Same

No two clients have the same accent history, goals, or challenges β€” so no two 12-week plans are the same either. When I build your program, I consider:

  • Your native language
  • Your English-speaking environment
  • Your goals β€” career, academic, social, or otherwise
  • The sounds that are difficult for you specifically
  • Your speech habits during natural conversation
  • How quickly you integrate new sounds

The entire curriculum is built around your needs, not a standard template β€” hands-on, detail-focused, and paced to you.

What a Typical Session Looks Like

Sessions are 50 minutes and follow the same structure every week, because repetition and routine build strong habits.

1

Check-in β€” how your practice went, and any questions you have.

2

Target sound or concept β€” guided practice through words and phrases containing the week's focus sound.

3

Structured pronunciation exercises β€” drills, sentences, and patterns as needed.

4

Conversation practice β€” because old habits often creep back into natural speech, every session includes conversation so we can catch and correct slips.

5

Feedback + homework β€” you leave with clear, focused pronunciation exercises to practice during the week.

Each week focuses on one sound or concept so you build accuracy before moving on. Some sounds take more than a week β€” that's okay, we move at your pace.

What to Expect (Honestly)

Accent change is a partnership: I bring the training, structure, and feedback. You bring the practice, consistency, and effort. Progress speed varies by client and by where you are in your accent journey.

Two posts worth reading before you decide:

Between Sessions & Policies

  • Sessions are weekly and 50 minutes long
  • Telegram access between sessions for voice-message pronunciation feedback (typically 2–3 messages/week; short clarifying messages are fine)
  • Available Monday–Thursday (may not reply on weekends)
  • Rescheduling is possible with notice, depending on availability
Refund policy: The Accent Assessment is complimentary only if we move forward together. If either of us chooses not to proceed after the assessment, the refund reflects a consultation and administrative fee.

Common Questions

How personalized is the 12-week program, really?

Completely. Your native language, environment, goals, difficult sounds, speech habits, and pace all shape your specific curriculum β€” it's not a template.

How much improvement can I expect, and how fast?

It depends on where you're starting from and how consistently you practice. Read the two blog posts above for an honest breakdown of what different clients typically experience.

What if the program isn't the right fit after my assessment?

You'll get a refund minus a consultation and administrative fee β€” the assessment stays a meaningful professional service either way.

Is this the same as Conversation + Feedback Sessions?

No β€” that's a separate, more casual, conversation-based service with no daily homework or Telegram support. See the full comparison.
