Apply for a Free 20 Minute Phone Consultation with Ilana Shydlo, founder of Accent Eraser

Accent Eraser's accent reduction lessons are designed for those with a foreign or regional accent who wish to learn either a standard American accent, or a New York accent. These are not traditional English lessons that focus on grammar and vocabulary; the focus of these lessons is on elements related to accent, such as pronunciation, intonation (the "melody" of speech), and stress. Additionally, tips for clear communication will be included in the training. You will work closely with an expert instructor who will create highly customized lessons for you and act as your guide on the path towards meeting your accent and communication goals. For more information on these lessons, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions.

If these lessons sound like a good fit for you, and you are hard-working, motivated to learn, and ready to invest in yourself to achieve the accent that you wish, I invite you to fill out this application for a Free 20-Minute Phone Consultation.
