Question 1

Can I really change my accent as an adult?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An accent is a set of sound habits, and habits can be retrained at any age. We work sound by sound, starting with the ones that make the biggest difference to how clearly you're understood. With daily practice the new sounds become automatic, so you stop having to think about them.

Question 2

Will I lose my own accent?

Accepted Answer

Only if you want to. You gain control: you can switch into clear American or British speech whenever it matters, in a meeting, an interview or on a call. Your identity stays yours.

Question 3

Which accent should I learn?

Accepted Answer

We teach General American and British, both clear and understood everywhere in business and media, or a neutral, maximum-clarity blend. If you're not sure, Andy helps you choose on the discovery call, based on where you live, work and want to go.

Question 4

Is my English good enough?

Accepted Answer

If you can hold a conversation in English, yes. This is accent and clarity coaching, not grammar lessons. Most clients already speak English well and want to be understood the first time, without repeating themselves.

Question 5

Are the lessons live or pre-recorded?

Accepted Answer

Live, one-to-one, on Zoom with Andy. A video can explain a sound, but only live correction teaches your mouth to make it. Between lessons you practise in your own online portal, with Andy's model recordings for every text and a recorder that saves every take.

Question 6

How soon will I hear a difference?

Accepted Answer

Most clients hear themselves change within the first four to eight weeks, and the people around them notice soon after. Honestly, a full change takes six to eight months of steady practice. It's months of work, not days, and we'll never pretend otherwise.

Question 7

How much do I need to practise?

Accepted Answer

About 15 to 20 minutes a day. Your exercises are set for your own sounds, in your portal. Every recording you make is saved, so you can hear yourself improve week by week.

Question 8

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

There are four ways to join. Self-Paced is $130 USD a month: a 30-minute call with Andy every month and your own practice portal. Blended Coaching is $240 USD a month: one 60-minute live call a month, direct WhatsApp access to Andy with short audio calls when you need them, and new practice texts every week. Full Live Coaching is $460 USD a month: four 30-minute one-to-one sessions a month, with WhatsApp support in between. The Flagship Program is $7,500 USD for the whole course, in three instalments of $2,500, with unlimited lessons for six months.

Question 9

Which plan is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Self-Paced suits disciplined learners who want a clear plan and a monthly check-in. Blended Coaching suits busy professionals who practise on their own but want Andy within reach on WhatsApp. Full Live Coaching is the fastest monthly route: you're corrected live every week. The Flagship Program is for people who want the full result, with unlimited lessons for six months. Not sure? Book a discovery call and Andy will recommend one.

Question 10

What happens on the discovery call?

Accepted Answer

It's a 20-minute Zoom call with Andy. You read one short paragraph, and he tells you which sounds give your accent away, in what order to fix them, and which plan suits your goals. If coaching isn't the right fit, he'll say so. The call is $45, paid when you book, and it's taken off your next payment when you join a plan. You don't need one to join: if you already know which plan you want, you can start straight away.

Question 11

Am I locked in?

Accepted Answer

No. Monthly plans cancel any time, and you can switch plans when your month renews. There's also a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not happy with your progress after the first month.

Question 12

What about time zones and rescheduling?

Accepted Answer

Andy coaches clients across the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with flexible hours, so most time zones are easy. Need to move a lesson? Message us on WhatsApp or by email at least 48 hours ahead and it's rescheduled at no charge.

Question 13

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

At secure checkout on our website, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, straight from the plan you choose. Prices are in USD and your bank converts from your own currency. The Flagship Program is paid in three instalments of $2,500; the other plans are paid month by month.
