Accent Reduction, Linguist & ESL Coach | 32+ Years Experience

Tony M.

I am a certified linguist, ESL instructor, and accent reduction specialist with over 32 years of teaching experience helping English learners achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals. My educational background includes studies in English and Spanish, as well as advanced training in linguistics and language acquisition. I hold TEFL and TESOL certifications and specialize in English pronunciation, accent reduction, and standardized test preparation.

Throughout my career, I have taught students of all proficiency levels, from beginners to advanced learners, in both classroom and one-on-one settings. My experience includes teaching extensively throughout Latin America and Asia, as well as more than 13 years of online instruction using international learning platforms. I have worked with university students, business professionals, immigrants, and exam candidates preparing for important English proficiency tests.

I specialize in preparing students for IELTS, TOEFL iBT, and TOEIC examinations, helping thousands of learners improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills while developing effective test-taking strategies. My teaching approach combines communicative language learning, personalized feedback, pronunciation coaching, and targeted skill development to address each student's individual goals and learning style.

As an accent and pronunciation coach, I use techniques based on linguistics and phonetics to help students improve clarity, fluency, and confidence when speaking English. My lessons are highly interactive, practical, and goal-oriented, ensuring students make measurable progress whether they are preparing for exams, job interviews, university admissions, or professional advancement.
