For professionals in Amsterdam, North Holland
Accent Coach in Amsterdam
Amsterdam works in English, from the tech scale-ups to the European headquarters on the Zuidas. I work one-to-one with tech, finance, logistics and business professionals on clearer, more confident English over Zoom, so you stop getting asked to repeat yourself, without losing the voice that's yours.
The discovery call is a paid 20-minute Zoom call ($45) from wherever you are in Amsterdam. Your time is confirmed once it’s paid.

English pronunciation coaching for Amsterdam professionals
Coaching runs live on Zoom in Dutch time, so you can train from the Zuidas, from an office near Centraal or from home, without another bike ride across the city.
Dutch speakers are often among the most fluent English speakers I coach, which is exactly why a few sounds stand out: th, w and v, the vowels in ‘bed’ and ‘bad’, and final consonants that harden. Many of my Amsterdam students are also international professionals working in English, who grew up speaking Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese or Turkish.
Sound familiar?
From the Zuidas towers to the tech and logistics teams around the city, Amsterdam does business in English every day.
- Your English is fluent, but colleagues say it still sounds unmistakably Dutch.
- You present to clients in the US or UK and want to sound more natural.
- You're moving into a role where your voice represents the company abroad.
Present and lead in English with a clear, natural accent that sounds like the expert you are. That’s exactly what these lessons are for: one-to-one, and built around your accent.

Many students come to me after trying apps, YouTube or a group class. Here’s the difference.
A real coach, not an app
An app can’t hear that you said ‘bet’ when you mean ‘bed’. I can, and we fix it together, live, the moment it happens.Built around your accent
No generic curriculum. We start from the exact sounds Dutch speakers find hardest, and the words you actually use at work.Fits an Amsterdam schedule
Live lessons around your Amsterdam time calendar, plus a portal you can use in five-minute gaps.You keep your identity
The goal is clear and confident, not “American at all costs.” Your voice stays yours, just easier to understand.

Accent coaching in Amsterdam: frequent questions
How long until I notice a change?
Most students sound noticeably clearer in 4 to 8 sessions and first hear themselves change within one to two months. Honestly, real accent change is months of work, not days: a full transformation takes six to eight months, with about 15 to 20 minutes of practice a day.
How much does accent coaching in Amsterdam cost?
Self-Paced is $130 USD a month, with a 30-minute call every month, and Blended Coaching is $240 USD a month. One-to-one, Full Live Coaching is $460 USD a month or $1,250 for 3 months paid upfront, and the Flagship Program is $7,500 USD for an 8-month program, paid in three instalments of $2,500, with up to 3 lessons a week for six months. Prices are in USD and your bank converts from your own currency. See the plans.
What happens on the discovery call, and what does it cost?
It's a 20-minute Zoom call with me. You read one short paragraph, and I tell you which sounds are giving your accent away, in what order to fix them, and which plan suits your goals. The call is $45: you pick a time, pay at secure checkout, and your booking is confirmed once it's paid. When you join a one-to-one plan, the $45 is taken off your next payment. If you already know which plan you want, you can join without a call.
Which accents do you teach?
Two targets: General American and British. Both are clear, internationally understood accents used in business and media. On the discovery call I help you choose the one that fits your goals, or a neutral, maximum-clarity blend.
Where are lessons held, and at what time?
Live and one-to-one on Zoom, scheduled around Central European Time (CET, or CEST in summer). I coach clients across the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia and keep flexible hours. Need to move a lesson? Message me at least 48 hours ahead and it's rescheduled at no charge.
I have a strong Dutch accent. Is that a problem?
Not at all, that's exactly what this is for. We work on the specific sounds and intonation patterns that make the biggest difference on international calls, while keeping your natural voice.
Can I get my money back if I'm not satisfied?
Yes. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee on the one-to-one plans if you're not satisfied with your progress after the first month. Monthly plans cancel any time, and you can switch plans when your month renews.
I'm not in Amsterdam. Can I still join?
Yes. Everything happens online, so it works the same wherever you are. Just mention your time zone when you book.
Can I really change my accent as an adult?
Yes. An accent is a set of sound habits, and habits can be retrained at any age. We work sound by sound, starting with the ones that make the biggest difference to how clearly you're understood. With daily practice the new sounds become automatic, so you stop having to think about them.
Which plan is right for me?
Self-Paced suits disciplined learners who want a clear plan and a monthly check-in. Blended Coaching suits busy professionals who practise on their own but want Andy within reach on WhatsApp. Full Live Coaching is the fastest monthly route: you're corrected live every week. The Flagship Program is for people who want the full result, with up to 3 lessons a week for six months, then two follow-up months. Not sure? Book a discovery call and Andy will recommend one.
Are the lessons live or pre-recorded?
Live, one-to-one, on Zoom with Andy. A video can explain a sound, but only live correction teaches your mouth to make it. Between lessons you practise in your own online portal, with Andy's model recordings for every text and a recorder that saves every take.
How do I get started?
Choose a plan on youraccentcoach.com, answer a few quick questions (your name, your mother tongue, your goals) and pay at secure checkout. Within 24 hours your practice portal is ready and your first steps arrive by email and WhatsApp.
Will I lose my own accent?
Only if you want to. You gain control: you can switch into clear American or British speech whenever it matters, in a meeting, an interview or on a call. Your identity stays yours.
Is my English good enough?
If you can hold a conversation in English, yes. This is accent and clarity coaching, not grammar lessons. Most clients already speak English well and want to be understood the first time, without repeating themselves.
How much do I need to practise?
About 15 to 20 minutes a day. Your exercises are set for your own sounds, in your portal. Every recording you make is saved, so you can hear yourself improve week by week.
Am I locked in?
No. Monthly plans cancel any time, and you can switch plans when your month renews. There's also a 30-day money-back guarantee on the one-to-one plans if you're not happy with your progress after the first month.
How do I pay?
At secure checkout on our website, straight from the plan you choose. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, credit or debit, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. Prices are in USD and your bank converts from your own currency.
Do group students get their own portal?
Yes. Every group student gets the shared class portal, with the class's texts and model recordings, and their own practice portal too, linked to the class. Your recordings are saved there, so you can hear your progress week by week.
