I specialise in English pronunciation and accent reduction. Using my background in phonetics we'll break down words into individual sounds and then later we'll build them back up as you master each sound. With detailed instruction and individualised feedback along the way we'll master even the toughest sounds! I've worked as a contractor for Accent Advisor, the biggest accent reduction company in the US. I have more than five years of experience helping students with their goals of speaking with more confidence and fluency!
While I specialise working with non-native English speakers, I also provide classes for actors learning regional dialects.

My first language is Spanish, and I’ve lived in the U.S. for over 13 years — but I never learned English properly. I learned just by listening and practicing in daily life. Because of that, I truly thought I was fluent… but I had no idea I was pronouncing English using the sounds from Spanish. I was hearing English through my Spanish ears, so I repeated the words with the sounds I already knew. Little did I know that English has new sounds I had never heard before — sounds you must actually learn intentionally. And when you don’t know those sounds exist, your brain just replaces them with the closest Spanish sound. That’s how you end up making huge pronunciation mistakes without realizing it. Finding Blake has been a blessing. He speaks perfect Spanish, so he understands exactly the pronunciation problems we have as Spanish speakers. His explanations are clear, practical, and super effective. In just a few weeks I’ve improved so much — even though my case is harder because I basically have to relearn everything and let go of old habits. He’s also incredibly professional, always on time, super flexible, and he goes straight to the point, which I love and appreciate. We cover so much in just 30 minutes that it feels unbelievable. No time wasted. Every class moves me forward. If you speak Spanish and you’re struggling with your accent, Blake is the best tutor you can choose. His method works, he understands our challenges, and he genuinely cares about your progress. Highly recommended. ️️️️️
Blake has immensely helped me improve not only my general american accent but also worked with me on a Mississippi accent for a role. Super professional! Highly recommend him!
Blake has a great ability to generate rapport and adaptability to my particular goals and needs while maintaining high levels of professionalism that keeps me focused on specific lessons. He understands my cultural background and incorporates anatomical insights based on sound theoretical and practical knowledge. He is very patient and open to specific concerns as they emerge and appreciates a sense of humor which helps in keeping classes lively and even entertaining. I feel his teaching method provides a well balanced challenging yet motivational learning experience. He is far exceeding the requirements I had about the performance of any language coach.
I’ve been working with Blake for the past 3 months. I work in the US and have a French accent. I really quickly noticed that my co-workers were able to understand me much better. Blake is empathetic and good at understanding a student’s need and set the pace accordingly. Very knowledgeable on phonetics. Highly recommend!
Blake is an excellent teacher. I studied English for many years but my classes with him are a completely new experience for me. It’s great to learn how to pronounce English like an American and improve my language skills every week. Blake is skilled, patient, motivating and tailors lessons to my needs. His support is great, and I fully recommend classes with Blake if you want to get to the next level and want to experience classes that are extremely helpful and also fun.
