Sound familiar?
From SoMa startups to the Palo Alto and South Bay campuses, the Bay Area runs on standups, demos, and pitches.
- You nail the technical part of the standup, then someone says 'can you repeat that?'
- You're pitching VCs and want every sentence to land clean.
- Your ideas are sharp in the doc, but get lost on the call.
Be the engineer or founder whose ideas land clearly — in the standup, the demo, and the raise. That’s exactly what these sessions are for — one-to-one, built around your accent, never a group class.

Why this works when apps didn’t.
Most San Francisco Bay Area students come to me after trying apps, YouTube, or a group class. Here’s the difference.
- ✓A real coach, not an appAn app can’t hear that you said ‘flied lice’ when you mean ‘fried rice’. I can — and we fix it together, live, the moment it happens.
- ✓Built around your accentNo generic curriculum. We start from the exact sounds Mandarin, Hindi and Spanish speakers struggle with, and the words you actually use at work.
- ✓Fits a San Francisco Bay Area schedule45-minute sessions around your Pacific Time calendar, plus a portal you can drill in 5-minute gaps between meetings.
- ✓You keep your identityThe goal is clear and confident, not “American at all costs.” Your voice stays yours — just easier to understand.
What students say.
Two months in, mid-program.
“I used to dread client calls — they’d always ask me to repeat. After about six sessions with Andy I noticed people stopped saying ‘sorry, what?’ and started actually responding to what I said. The portal makes it ridiculously easy to practice between sessions.” Tes · product manager

Frequent questions.
How long until I notice a change?
Most students notice their own voice changing inside the first 4 sessions. Hearing the change confirmed by colleagues usually takes 6 to 10 sessions depending on which sounds you’re working on.
What does it cost?
$99 USD per session pay-as-you-go, or $79 USD per session if you commit to twice a week. Pay in any major currency. See full pricing →
Where are sessions held? What time?
Live on Zoom, scheduled around Pacific Time. Sessions are recorded so you can revisit difficult bits in your practice portal.
I have a strong Mandarin 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 for international calls, while keeping your natural voice.
