5-week Intensive Accent Class
How long is the class?
- The class is 5 weeks of intensive training, Monday through Saturday
What are the dates of the class?
- November 2 to December 5, 2026.
What time are the live classes?
- The day and time of each week's live session vary. It's on a day between Monday and Saturday, at either 8:00 am or 4:30 pm Pacific. Enrollment closes the day before the class starts.
What will I learn?
- Each week, we focus on a different part of your accent:
- Week 1: Intonation
- Week 2: Word stress and syllable stress
- Week 3: Rhythm, reductions, and timing of American English
- Week 4: Connected speech, linking, and real-life conversation practice
- Week 5: Core sounds that are causing confusion
What is the structure of the course?
- Daily assignments, Monday through Saturday, done on your own schedule.
- A Daily Pronunciation Challenge: you send me a recording on WhatsApp and I reply with specific feedback.
- You can re-submit one Challenge per week for a second round of feedback.
What if I need help with my pronunciation?
- We meet live weekly at English Pro Live in a very small group – I work with just three students per class – so you get 1:1 coaching
- Need additional help? You also get a weekly private Q&A session, by appointment. So if you have questions or need more help, you can talk to me directly.
Special Bonus:
- When you enroll in this 5-week intensive class, you get 3 months of access to my English Pro program and the English Pro Community.
How much does the 5-week class cost?
- The enrollment fee is $399 for the full five weeks.
- Here’s what’s included: daily personal feedback from me, Monday through Saturday; a weekly live session capped at three students; a weekly private Q&A session; and 3 months of access to English Pro (normally $49.99 a month).
- Private coaching with me is $250 an hour, or $1,875 for a 10-hour package. This class gives you daily feedback for five weeks for $399.
How much time per day?
- The most successful students spend up to an hour a day on the Daily Assignments and Daily Pronunciation Challenges. It’s up to you. More practice time helps.
What if I travel or miss a week?
- Complete assignments and challenges every day so you don’t fall behind or miss feedback. If you know you’ll be traveling, you’re encouraged to complete them early, before your trip.
What level do I need to be?
- Intermediate or above.
Why this rather than English Pro on its own?
- The 5-week class includes daily feedback from me, plus a weekly private Q&A session and weekly live classes. English Pro on its own includes the courses, the community and the weekly live classes, without the daily feedback or the private Q&A session. If you want daily feedback, the 5-week class is the better choice.
Is there a refund if it’s not right for me?
- Full refund up to 24 hours before the start date. Email julie@sandiegovoiceandaccent.com. No refunds once the class has begun.

What students say
“She would make a plan every time before class and give good feedback after… I was always able to see my improvement after each class.”
Lichen Z., Mandarin, Student
“She helped customize the syllabus as per the feedback from my initial performance review, which helped me focus on my weak areas such as understanding intonation, consonants, and American English pronunciation.”
Sunit V., Hindi, Electrical Engineer
“I like how quickly she could diagnose my pronunciation issues, in particular my tongue placement… She also gave me drills to improve my speech, some of which are quite innovative such as using a metronome.”
