English accent coaching in Baghdad
Lessons are live on Zoom in Iraq time. Join from Karrada, Mansour, Jadriya or Zayouna, or from home, with nothing to travel to.
In Baghdad I coach engineers and staff working with international oil and energy companies, doctors and pharmacists preparing for exams or practice abroad, NGO and international-organisation staff, and university students and lecturers. Iraqi Arabic keeps the th sounds, so th is often easier for you than for other Arabic speakers. The work is usually on p and b, v and f, the short English vowels and consonant clusters like ‘spr’ and ‘str’.
Sound familiar?
From oil and energy projects to hospitals and universities, Baghdad's professionals increasingly work and study in English.
- On calls with international contractors, you're asked to repeat technical terms.
- You're preparing for a scholarship or a medical exam abroad and the interview is in English.
- You read English papers every week, but speaking it still feels unfamiliar.
Speak with colleagues, panels and partners in clear, confident English. That’s exactly what these lessons are for: one-to-one, and built around your accent.

Many students come to me after trying apps, YouTube or a group class. Here’s the difference.
A real coach, not an app
An app can’t hear that you said ‘bower’ when you mean ‘power’. I can, and we fix it together, live, the moment it happens.Built around your accent
No generic curriculum. We start from the exact sounds Iraqi Arabic and Kurdish speakers find hardest, and the words you actually use at work.Fits a Baghdad schedule
Live lessons around your Iraq time calendar, plus a portal you can use in five-minute gaps.You keep your identity
The goal is clear and confident, not “American at all costs.” Your voice stays yours, just easier to understand.

Accent coaching in Baghdad: frequent questions
How long until I notice a change?
Most students sound noticeably clearer in 4 to 8 sessions and first hear themselves change within one to two months. Honestly, real accent change is months of work, not days: a full transformation takes six to eight months, with about 15 to 20 minutes of practice a day.
How much does accent coaching in Baghdad cost?
There are four ways to join. Self-Paced is $130 USD a month, with a 30-minute call every month. Blended Coaching is $240 USD a month. Full Live Coaching is $460 USD a month. The Flagship Program is $7,500 USD for the whole course, paid in three instalments of $2,500, with unlimited lessons for six months. Prices are in USD and your bank converts from your own currency. See the plans.
What happens on the discovery call, and what does it cost?
It's a 20-minute Zoom call with me. You read one short paragraph, and I tell you which sounds are giving your accent away, in what order to fix them, and which plan suits your goals. The call is $45: you pick a time, pay at secure checkout, and your booking is confirmed once it's paid. When you join a plan, the $45 is taken off your next payment. If you already know which plan you want, you can join without a call.
Which accents do you teach?
Two targets: General American and British. Both are clear, internationally understood accents used in business and media. On the discovery call I help you choose the one that fits your goals, or a neutral, maximum-clarity blend.
Where are lessons held, and at what time?
Live and one-to-one on Zoom, scheduled around Arabia Standard Time (Iraq time). I coach clients across the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia and keep flexible hours. Need to move a lesson? Message me at least 48 hours ahead and it's rescheduled at no charge.
I have a strong Iraqi Arabic accent. Is that a problem?
Not at all, that's exactly what this is for. We work on the specific sounds and intonation patterns that make the biggest difference on international calls, while keeping your natural voice.
Can I get my money back if I'm not satisfied?
Yes. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your progress after the first month. Monthly plans cancel any time, and you can switch plans when your month renews.
I'm not in Baghdad. Can I still join?
Yes. Everything happens online, so it works the same wherever you are. Just mention your time zone when you book.
