Teleconferencing is easy.
Save gas and travel time.  I have given lessons to people in many places in California, in other states, and even Australia.  You can receive dialect lessons or accent reduction lessons from anywhere in the world with online access.  
How do I get started?
  1. When you're ready to give it a try, go to www.zoom.us and create an account. It's free and takes only minutes.
  2. We make an appointment for a session.  
  3. You will be emailed dialect materials to print out prior to the lesson.  
  4. On the day of the lesson, you will receive an email with a link to the conference.
  5. Click on the link.  Then click "Join a Meeting."
  6. That's it.  The teleconference lesson begins.
What happens during the lesson?
  1. You will be given general tips and advice on how to best succeed in your accent goals.
  2. We listen to samples and go over all of the sound changes of the dialect you are learning. 
  3. In the case of accent reduction, we go over all of the sounds of General American English to see how your native accent varies.
  4. In most cases there will be some recording made of your work.
  5. ​You will receive recordings of yourself, as well as recorded samples of the targeted accent, in a shared "Dropbox" folder.  (Dropbox is a free method of storing, sharing, and accessing files online.)  Go to www.dropbox.com to set up your free account. 
  6. The Dropbox, the folder will contain audio files   you can access and download the audio.  ​
