About Mason

I am a Cambridge CELTA-certified English pronunciation and accent coach with over fourteen years of teaching experience, helping people from all over the world reduce their accent and sound more natural. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education from San Francisco State University and have worked in education since 1994. Originally from California, I spent years in Madrid's theater district teaching actors and business professionals to reduce their accent and master international communication. I also taught young adults in the Madrid public school system. Over the past five years, I’ve taught 6,500+ online one-on-one lessons to nearly 1,000 adults. This experience gives me unique insight into the phonetic challenges of Slavic, Germanic, Latin-based, Asian, Afro-Asiatic, and Austronesian languages.

My teaching style is focused and results-driven. My methodology emphasizes prosody (stress, rhythm, and intonation) alongside vowels, consonant clusters, word linking, and reduced forms. To ensure consistent progress, I provide tailored materials, including custom audio files for shadowing homework. These targeted exercises build new muscle memory between live sessions, smoothly transitioning mechanical phonetics into natural conversation. This approach helps students overcome cross-cultural hurdles and navigate linguistic bias, mastering conversational nuances like pitch changes and phrasing, necessary to sound polite and approachable in American professional settings.

I aim to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes, because that is where real progress happens. Whether you're an actor refining a character's voice or a professional needing absolute clarity, we will analyze your patterns to break old habits step by step. If your goal is to master the American English accent and be easily understood, my practical approach helps you build speech that is clearer, smoother, and completely confident.

My specialty is American English Pronunciation and Accent Reduction, for intermediate and advanced learners who want to sound more natural, communicate clearly, and speak with greater confidence.

My lessons are structured, practical, and results oriented. Before each lesson, I'll send you customized materials, so you can familiarize yourself with the concepts we'll be covering. We'll begin with the fundamentals, including a simple introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet and to speech mechanics—how to position your lips, tongue, and jaw to produce English sounds accurately.

While we'll work on vowels and consonants, the biggest difference between speaking clearly and sounding natural is prosody: the rhythm, stress, intonation, linking, and reductions that give English its natural flow. We'll also cover consonant clusters, fricatives, and stop consonants (including the flap T and glottal T), plus other advanced features that help refine your accent.

Every lesson is tailored to your individual goals. Whether you're preparing for presentations, job interviews, acting roles, YouTube videos, podcasts, or everyday conversations, we'll focus on the pronunciation skills that matter most to you. If you have your own materials—scripts, presentations, speeches—bring them to class, and we'll use them to improve your pronunciation in a practical, real-world context.
