About John
Hi! I'm John. I'm an English accent coach and a French teacher with over a decade of experience, specialising in accent coaching for actors. My academic background in phonetics and linguistics at the University of Toronto forms the foundation of my approach. While my expertise lies in guiding actors to master authentic accents, I welcome students from all backgrounds, including non-native English speakers. My coaching involves a detailed accent analysis, offering customised lessons to address specific goals, whether it be character-specific accents for actors or enhancing clarity and fluency for others. Whether you're pursuing a career in acting or simply aiming to enhance your everyday communication, let's work together to uncover and strengthen the authentic power of your voice!

During our first (complimentary) lesson, we will take the time to assess where you currently stand, and depending on the accent you wish to adopt (British or North American), I will create a bespoke lesson plan for you. What to expect from our lessons: • Accent analysis: Understand the nuances of your current accent and identify areas for improvement. • Accent of your choice: Identify a target accent from the following: British (BBC English, Posh, Cockney) and North American (Standard, New York, Southern). • Pronunciation perfection: Learn the correct pronunciation of sounds, intonation patterns, and rhythm to sound more natural and native-like. •️ Vocabulary and expression: Expand your vocabulary and express yourself with clarity and precision. • Professional communication skills: Elevate your professional image with improved communication in meetings, presentations, and everyday interactions.

I've been wanting to learn French for a very long time. Last year a friend of mine recommended I take lessons with John. It's been more than a year since I started studying with him and am happy to say that I am at a conversational level. John's teaching style was very creative and included games, videos, etc. in addition grammar and vocab work.
John was a patient and proficient tutor. He made learning French fun and enjoyable. Merci John!
Thank you so much John for being such a great tutor and helping me become confident in my French before moving to France.
John is patient, organized and creates very effective tailored lesson plans. I couldn't recommend him more to anyone!!I started lessons with John three years ago. At the time, I had quite a bit of experience with French, but needed that extra push to get to a really advanced level. We started off our lessons revising grammar and vocabulary, which was a huge help as grammar is my weak spot.
John was able to explain a lot of grammatical rules in a way that now feels natural to me. Currently we do weekly sessions where we focus on speaking and writing. I have never been more confident in my French skills and John is the person to thank!I've been a student of John's for two years. When I started off, I didn't speak a word of French, and needed to get to an intermediate level for my job. With two hours of weekly lessons with John, and consistent practice, I was able to achieve a competent level of French in less than a year. I would highly recommend John as a tutor!
It’s been about 10 months that I’ve been taking lessons with John to improve my French and not only has my grammar and conversational french improved drastically - I also thoroughly enjoy our lessons! John knows how to make learning fun, always keeps our lessons different and diverse and always leaves me smiling after our lesson. French in school was always intimidating but lessons with John feel very at ease. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn from scratch or like me, freshen up my language skills. Thanks John!
