About Blake
Hi everyone! I'm an American English accent reduction and dialect coach born and raised in the USA. I have a neutral, midwest accent. I'm currently studying a master's degree in Linguistics at UPF in Barcelona.

I'm fluent in Spanish and have experience speaking Bangla, I'm currently learning Mandarin!

I specialize 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 individualized 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 specialize working with non-native English speakers, I also provide classes for actors learning regional dialects.

Perfect! Blake is an amazing accent tutor. I have a Slavic accent, and he knows exactly how to help me smooth it out and develop a natural, modern American accent. He has an exceptional ear for even the slightest differences in pronunciation and is great at explaining them clearly. His assignments are well structured and very easy to follow. I highly recommend working with him.
Perfect! Great, organized and interesting.
Perfect! Blake is very attentive, knowledgeable, and dedicated. He will provide tools to you to better hear your own mistakes and will help fix them by providing examples of similar sounds and other exercises.
Perfect! Blake is an exceptional tutor who is incredibly thorough and attentive to every detail. His teaching style is thoughtful, well-structured, and highly effective, ensuring that each concept is clearly understood. He consistently adapts his approach to meet individual learning needs, creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. I highly recommend Blake to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and outstanding tutor.
Perfect! Blake helped my 11-year-old son improve his English conversation skills tremendously, and we can clearly see the progress after every lesson.
He is incredibly patient, super understanding, and always very polite, kind, and sympathetic. He creates such a positive and comfortable learning atmosphere that my son genuinely enjoys the lessons and feels confident speaking English.
It is rare to find a teacher who is not only professional but also truly cares about the student. We are very grateful and look forward to continuing the lessons.Perfect! Blake's lessons are incredibly informative and practical. He teaches real pronunciation and accent skills that you can actually use. After class, he also sends voice messages to guide you on how to pronounce things correctly, which makes it much easier to review and practice on your own. He is truly one of the best pronunciation and accent teacher.
Perfect! Very Professional and reliable
Perfect! Blake is an exceptional accent coach. His ear for detail is incredibly precise, and he immediately identifies subtle pronunciation issues that most teachers miss. Working with him has significantly improved my clarity, rhythm, and confidence when speaking English. Highly recommended.
Perfect! Blake explained everything very well. His materials for students are very interesting, and his English pronunciation is excellent.
Perfect! 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. ️️️️️Perfect! I would always be grateful that i have the opportunity to take classes with blakes. It’s my first week and i have learn a lot. 100% recommended.
Perfect! I'm from Czechia and an actor and working on my accent. We are having lessons 1-2 times a week, which is perfect for me, Blake showed me already a lot of my weaknesses in pronunciation which I started to work on and I have already several people who told me my English got better!
Perfect! I’ve been taking classes with Blake for a short time, but I can already tell he’s really good at what he does. I’ve been working on reducing my accent and sounding more American, and his method makes the process much easier. He breaks words down into individual sounds, which really helps me understand exactly where I was going wrong. His knowledge of phonetics is clear, and the classes are very practical and focused. I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their pronunciation and speak more naturally.
Perfect! I've been taking classes with Blake over a few month now. He will always make sure you learned something new or having improvements each class! Recommended!
Perfect! Blake is such a talented phonetics teacher.
I'm a native French speaker, and English is my second language. I've been taking accent reduction classes with him for about four months now. Since then, I've noticed a significant improvement in my accent and so have the people around me. I get asked “Can you repeat that?” much less often by strangers.
Blake uses specific techniques tailored to my phonetic challenges, including jaw relaxation exercises, intonation work, muscle awareness and tongue positioning. He's extremely patient yet meticulous. He’ll have me repeat each sound until it sounds more neutral.
His pricing is also very reasonable. Don’t be fooled by those coaches charging a fortune just because they’ve trained a so-called influencer or celeb, there’s no magic formula. The real key is consistent practice, and I’m truly glad I found a teacher like him who is genuinely passionate about what he does.Perfect! He is truly an expert! He is very friendly. His knowledge shines through. You can’t go wrong with him teaching you.
Perfect! Blake's classes are informative, personalized, and interesting. I not only learned to correct some of my pronunciations, I also learned about American culture and accents in different regions. His classes cover rhythm, connection, and intonation, which are areas I wanted to improve. He is responsive, and scheduling is easy. I highly recommend working with Blake!

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 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.
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 a very dedicated teacher who adapts his lessons to your needs. He has been helpinh me remove the inconsistencies in my pronunciation and has also been giving general feedback. I recommend Blake if you want to improve your pronunciation and accent.
I have been learning pronuciation with Blake for serval months. It is a fantastic journey with him. Blake provides encouraging environment and systemic method to help me to improve my speaking ability. I believe that if I can continuously learning with him, I can reduce my Chinese Accent and speak more fluently.
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.
English is my third language.
My IELTS speaking score used to be 2.
I hate studying, and typing is a grind for me. But my iPhone couldn't understand a word I said.
After just three months working on my accent with Blake, the most noticeable and measurable improvement - My IPhone, ChatGPT voice detection systems can accurately recognize my speech. I don't type any more on phone.
Thanks to Blake, I also got approved from my boss to represent our UK-based firm. I’m now trusted to speak with major influencers and publishers with 5-10 million views per month. It's some trust for real.
Blake’s best quality? He remembers every detail we work on and creates review loops to keep fine-tuning my pronunciation on a monthly basis. His inside jokes and simple explanations make everything easy to understand, even a IELTS 2 noob can understand.
Teachers dim our passion for learning with judgment. Blake understands different cultural backgrounds and how pronunciation works in other languages. He knows where you're coming from and never judges.
Blake's like a friend or a brother, but not the annoying kind you might have. He's flexible, and he makes you want to be better.
Final thought:
Give Blake a try. I recommend at least a month.
You might have doubts in the first few sessions, but soon you'll realize he's your secret advantage.View more recommendations
