San Jose & SF Bay Area Accent Classes
Advanced Accent Training (AAT) has offered accent reduction lessons in San Jose and the San Francisco Bay Area since 1991. Formerly known as Bay Area Language and Accent Specialists, Inc., we expanded our Silicon Valley services to a global online accent training company in 2003. Our main offices have been in Atlanta and San Jose for over 20 years, our newest branch opened in Austin, Texas in 2022. Due to the ongoing spread of new Covid-19 variants, RSV, and seasonal flu, we are currently only offering private videoconference accent lessons. Outcomes are the same as in person meetings and many are finding the benefit of clear English in work related videoconference meetings.
In addition to accent reduction, AAT offers speech improvement services, including job interview prep, speech coaching, and business writing. You can save the commute hassle and middle man higher prices often charged by language schools in the Silicon Valley and San Francisco by considering online accent reduction. We use the latest HD video-conference platforms that achieve the same effective outcomes as in person meetings.
