Felipe Barreiros - Tech Founder

“Honestly, I thought I had [mastered a specific sound] on our first call. But I don't know, maybe two months after we've been working together, I found so many other words with that same vowel, with the same sound. So the long term process is so valuable because of that, because you keep finding and you keep finding stuff.”

Success Story

"The accent mentorship was a great experience. Over six months, Will helped me identify mistakes in my English and guided me in polishing my accent. Even after living in the US for 8 years, I was still unconsciously making pronunciation mistakes that were affecting how clearly people could understand me.

During our weekly calls, Will helped me identify the root causes of my challenges, such as difficulties with certain vowels/consonants or maintaining a natural speech flow to the native ear. Some mistakes were easy to fix, while others took a few sessions to practice and master. Will was always patient and adapted our sessions based on my needs.

What distinguishes Will from other accent coaches is that his mentorship is specifically designed for Brazilians. He speaks Portuguese fluently, therefore he understands the differences in sounds between the two languages, as well as common patterns that lead Brazilians to mispronounce words in English. This helped tremendously when he was explaining the mistakes I was making and the best way to fix them.

The investment in his mentorship was worth it. I notice that I am now speaking more confidently and that people understand more clearly."

Success Story
★★★★★

"I tried 2 different accent coaches before joining Will's Mentorship. Will's quality was at another level, and I believe he's at the very top in his profession.

His passion for pronunciation, his curiosity in the details, and his own journey in Portuguese make him a complete standout accent coach. On top of that, he focuses on Brazilians, so he knows exactly how to guide you.

During the Mentorship, my accent improved significantly, learning how to pronounce many words and sounds that I didn't know before. I don't sound 100% like an American yet (if that's even possible), as the accent journey can be long. But I have had international folks and a drunk Canadian ask where in the US I was from, so I think that's a good start!

Highly recommend Will's Mentorship, it will give you the tools and path to improve your journey."

Victor Damásio - Entrepreneur & Business Mentor

“Há algum tempo eu tenho buscado uma melhora na minha pronúncia. Diminuir o accent. Diminuir o sotaque brasileiro e aumentar a proximidade com a pronúncia do inglês americano. E não conheço ninguém no mundo melhor do que o Will para ajudar nisso.”

Igor - Doctor / Youtuber

“I came to the US to practice medicine...After following Will for a few months, I decided to invest in a call with Will and it exceeded my expectations. The main reason I wanted to make a call with Will was for him to point these things out and to shorten the amount of time for me to get to a level of English that I'm comfortable at.”

Marcella - English Teacher

“I'm an English teacher. I have been speaking English ever since I was a little girl...I was really hesitant at first because even though I saw his Instagram and I had been following him for some time, I didn't know if he would be able to help someone like me who is already really advanced in English and I didn't know what I was doing wrong.

I definitely really liked his service. I will definitely be buying it again and I will most definitely recommend it to everyone who has an interest in English because it really did help me a lot.”

Ana - Actress

“I did the audition. And I felt much more secure for the audition because I had prepared my lines with Will...I've taken accent reduction classes before. I liked this one in particular because he knew my language and he knew how to "fix" specifically what I needed to be "fixed."

Deborah

“Ever since I got to the US, I've been studying English like a crazy person. And, you know, just because I wanted to fit in, I wanted to feel more comfortable when it comes to speaking with native speakers and non-native speakers too... And [working with Will] is good for our English pronunciation, especially for us Brazilians. He has some great tricks to teach us new things and how to get better.”

John

At first I wasn't sure if I should join Will's Mentorship program because I was already close to an American accent... But after talking with Will I realized that he would be able to help me improve... so I decided it was worth it.

Genuinely, after every call that we have, I think to myself how worth it it was that I chose to do this Mentorship.”

Thalita

“We don't think about [accent] as native speakers. Even in Portuguese, I don't think I can actually help somebody to pronounce the way I do by identifying what they're doing different. I will know that it's different, but I don't know how to explain that. And Will, he really can do that. Because he knows what he's doing. I highly recommend that you actually get to talk to somebody who knows what they're doing.”

Felipe Ruiz

“10 years after I started to work on American English pronunciation/accent… that's when Will showed up...He knows our accent. He studies Portuguese. He studies Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation. He knows what our main difficulties are and our speech patterns. He's helpful in a way that no other foreigner/American can be.”

"The first thing that caught my attention about Will was his dedication and the care he put into learning and speaking Portuguese. I'd never seen a foreigner speak it so well. I thought his method could help me with my English. And sure enough, working with him, I learned things about English pronunciation that I'd never picked up before.

Focusing on the right sounds (which we often don't have in Portuguese) was a game-changer for me. Learning the correct tongue position, aspirated sounds like the 'p'—it gave me a whole new perspective on English.

I highly recommend his work. Plus, he's super friendly and uses awesome resources."
