About Me

Hi, I'm Jesse—a linguist, teacher, and musician from Fargo, North Dakota. My passion for languages and communication has taken me from the classrooms of Moscow to the vibrant streets of Tbilisi, helping students sound natural and confident in English.

With a Master's degree in English and over 8 years of teaching experience, I specialize in American accent training tailored to each student's unique needs. As a native English speaker who is fluent in Russian, I understand the specific challenges non-native speakers face and provide targeted strategies to overcome them.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe in a practical, student-centered approach to accent training, focusing on real-world communication and personalized feedback to help you sound more natural and confident.
