Professor Alex Obskov has literally altered my direction in English language. I am so thankful and grateful I am in Canada now. Frankly speaking, but for Alex I would have never been here. It is so cool to hear fromPeople such words “ dude your accent is so good where did you learn it?” And the answer all the time is “thanks a lot to my great teacher Alex”.

Alex is an excellent accent teacher! As a non-native English speaker, I was looking for someone to help me reduce my foreign accent. I have been learning/training the American accent with Alex since last year and it has been a great experience. He is a thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into his teaching material. He will find the best method for you to change the way of pronouncing. Alex has in-depth knowledge of accent training and linguistics. I have learned so much in my sessions. The sessions were useful, engaging. I have to admit, accent reduction is not easy. At some point, I almost wanted to give up. Buy Alex was patient and always encouraging me to try. I would highly recommend him to an ESL speaker interested in learning American accent.

Hi prof. Alex, I am sending this message just to THANK YOU. I recently found that my listening has improved so much that I can watch a movie without subtitles, yet still understand most of it! This is exiting because I very much enjoy going to the cinema. I wasn’t able to do it ever since I came to the 🇺🇸 – cinemas here do not provide subtitles 😞. Now the cinemas are reopening and my listening has improved just in time for me to enjoy the movies in the cinema. Though this is not the purpose of our class, it is indeed the best side effect ❤️
Yue
He is also a very interesting person, which means that there is always a topic to talk about, which is also very important for the development of spoken language

Alex is quite flexible with scheduling, so the classes fit my schedule perfectly. While it might seem like a big investment of time and money, it’s 100% worth it because you invest in your future.
Alex
Thanks again for your kindness , your teaching technique and your gorgeous smile that makes me want to start right away another class with you !!! This is just a small but significative step towards my rebirth .
Daniel
Alex is SUPER patient to repeat one and the same word for thousand times just for you to say it right! You always have visual support (2D), so you know for sure how to move your lips, tongue and jaw. So you have no chance to fail!!

It feels so amazing when people stop asking me to repeat! I am finishing American Accent Program, and Alex has been guiding me during my learning. He is a professional linguist, and in the orientation interview, he pointed out the most important issues we had to focus on were English rhythm and intonation that I had struggled with for many years speaking English; German is absolutely different. Alex applies many educational techniques to teach pronunciation, and each class is new, not like it was last week. I never thought it would be the main thing in learning; however, it makes much sense for me now because each sound is an “individual.” Learning pronunciation is a long-term relationship with your coach, but it is WORTH it! I “invested” in myself, and I thank Alex for teaching and guiding me, for being there for me when I was about to give up, and for the amazing time I spent learning. He is a very open-minded, intelligent, highly-educated, and kind person! I HIGHLY recommend his program to anyone who wants to speak English CONFIDENTLY!

I often struggle with feelings of low confidence in my english speaking but having a conversation with Alex helped me change my mind completely. He gave me useful advice on how to build language learning confidence. Not only did he speak perfect American English but also he helped me boost my confidence in English!

Alex was great to work with. You can tell he has a passion for what he does and is assertive. He makes his student free and relaxed. He’s hands on and encourages his student’s to keep trying. In my time, I have enjoyed working with him and while I wasn’t able to complete all sessions due to personal reasons, I’ve been able to apply what learned this into daily life.

Alex R. –
There’re many accent reduction and public speaking coaches, so it might be difficult to find the one that works for you. Alex’s approach is unique. I’ve been working with him for over a month, and I wish I had someone like him as an English teacher in my home country. The English classes back there were focused on vocabulary, writing, and reading comprehension, while not paying enough attention to the sounds. Alex bridges that gap by explaining how to pronounce each sound correctly. He even uses the 2d posture motion technology to show you the native way to make the sound and explains the difference between the sounds in American English vs your native language. He also provides phonetic exercises, so you can practice between sessions. Get ready to practice a lot! If you want to sound more like a native speaker, you will need to break old habits and develop new ones.
Alex is quite flexible with scheduling, so the classes fit my schedule perfectly. While it might seem like a big investment of time and money, it’s 100% worth it because you invest in your future. I highly recommend taking this program to anyone who wants to improve their American English pronunciation and fluency.
Dr. Alex's Feedback: –
Thanks, Alex! It is always a pleasure to work with you.
Alex is an amazing learner, she knows what she wants, and she is strongly encouraged to speak English with an American Accent. She has overcome the most challenging sound for her as how to pronounce the American [r] sound.
I wish you all the best in learning!
Yours,
Dr. Alex
Coco W. –
I’ve been in the US for 10 years. I can communicate at work but still have a strong accent. That’s a problem when I’m trying to move up to a leadership position. And I’m tired of hearing people ask, “What did you just say?”
My boyfriend is American, but it didn’t help much with my speech- when someone gets used to the way you speak they don’t really correct your punctuation.
Alex is a very professional and responsible teacher. After taking his class I realized some of the major mistakes I made before, such as often using native pronunciation instead of English pronunciation, intonation and so on. Every class I realized that there were words I had never pronounced correctly before – and no one ever corrected me until this class.
I’m currently in my second term and so far I feel it’s working better than any of the classes I’ve tried before.
Vishaul R. –
I have been working with Dr. Alex on improving my pronunciation and accent for about two months now and am seeing better than positive results already. Dr. Alex is patient, friendly and very detail oriented. He tailors the sessions based on your needs and is extremely organized. If you are a foreign national in the US and are trying to improve your American accent and speaking skills, look no further!
