Jamie Powell, B.S. Speech-Pathology and Audiology, TEFL, MPH
Accent Coach
I started my career studying speech pathology, but it was my time teaching adult English in Southeast Asia that shaped how I think about communication. Working with professionals from all over the world, I saw firsthand how even highly fluent English speakers can feel held back. Not because of what they say, but how easily they’re understood. That experience is what led me to focus on accent modification.
With a background in speech science, TEFL training, and graduate-level work in public health, I take a practical, human-centered approach to teaching. My goal is to help people speak more clearly, feel more confident, and be fully understood in the moments that matter. I combine proven techniques with real-world communication strategies so clients can see meaningful progress and achieve their professional goals.
