For professionals in Lagos, Nigeria
Accent Coach in Lagos
You already speak English, often brilliantly. But on calls with US or UK teams, someone still asks you to say it again. I coach the few sounds and the rhythm behind that, one-to-one on Zoom, so your ideas get the airtime they deserve.
The discovery call is a paid 20-minute Zoom call ($45) from wherever you are in Lagos. Your time is confirmed once it’s paid.

Accent coaching for Lagos professionals in global roles
Lagos traffic is famous for a reason, so every lesson is live on Zoom in West Africa Time. Join from Victoria Island, Lekki, Ikoyi, Ikeja or Yaba, or from home, and keep your evening for something better than Third Mainland Bridge.
Many of the people I coach in Lagos are software engineers, product managers and designers working remotely for US and European companies, plus bankers, consultants, customer-success teams and Nollywood actors who want a reliable American or British accent on demand. Nigerian English is a full variety of English, and nobody needs to lose it. We work on the specific sounds and stress patterns that foreign listeners find unfamiliar, such as th, vowel length and where the stress falls in a sentence.
Sound familiar?
From Yaba startups to Victoria Island banks and fully remote roles, Lagos talent works with global teams every day.
- Your US manager loves your work, but asks you to repeat yourself in every standup.
- You're interviewing for remote roles and want the accent to stop being a question mark.
- Clients abroad say you speak ‘fast’, when really it's the rhythm that's unfamiliar to them.
Be the voice global teams understand instantly, without losing who you are. 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 ‘tink’ when you mean ‘think’. 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 Yoruba, Igbo and Nigerian Pidgin speakers find hardest, and the words you actually use at work.Fits a Lagos schedule
Live lessons around your Lagos 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 Lagos: 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 Lagos 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 West Africa 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.
English is my first language. Is accent coaching still for me?
Yes. Many Nigerians grow up with English alongside Yoruba, Igbo or Pidgin and speak it fluently. Coaching isn't about correcting your English; it's about making your accent easy for US or UK listeners to follow, or learning an American or British accent for work or acting.
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 Lagos. Can I still join?
Yes. Everything happens online, so it works the same wherever you are. Just mention your time zone when you book.
