Accent Change Reviews 15

I looked for a coach because I wanted to improve my accent to decrease negative unconscious bias and potentially increase positive bias at work.
I also like doing things right, so taking the time to finally correct bad habits was important to me.
I found Dillon via Fiverr, the testimonies were convincing and I liked his view that being taught by a non-native who overcame difficulties I face is a sensible approach.
Since I started benefiting from his classes, I have appreciated how they are tailored to my needs and pace.
Dillon is generous in sharing his insights, tips and extensive knowledge. He's s also very patient and understanding.
His structured method and extensive note taking remove a lot of my burden as a student, so I can focus on what actually helps me improve the most.
While I still have much to improve, I'm proud of my progress, even if sometimes it's just about being able to identify a mistake I do and then correct it on the spot. There are also many things I was not aware of before that make me feel like I now have a deeper understanding of sounds and rythm for example.
This sense of understanding both the why and the how is very motivating. It makes learning purposeful, it's not just about getting a better accent, it's also an intelectual endeavor to appreciate what's behind. The more I learn from Dillon the more I want to know.

I’ve been working with Dillon for over three months, and it’s been quite a journey to relearn English. His approach helped me understand things that never made sense before — and now they’re crystal clear. Dillon has an incredible ability to break down pronunciation and speech patterns in a way that feels natural and achievable. I can honestly say my confidence and clarity have improved dramatically. Highly recommended!

I had no idea what to expect going in, but Dillon immediately put me at ease with his clear structure and professional approach. Right from the start he shared a ton of insights I could put into practice right away and the summary sheet he provided made it extra easy to digest and memorize everything.
Speaking in front of another person in another language to get reviewed for it could have made me incredibly nervous but the way he approached the session made me feel immediately safe.

Dillon is knowledgeable, approachable, and a natural teacher. I felt like I was getting real value from the very beginning.
Highly recommend!

Dillon is an outstanding dialect coach. Having worked with several different coaches, I can confidently say his methods are the easiest to understand and apply. He pays close attention to detail and creates a personalized system for each student. What I appreciate most is that he goes above and beyond—even providing extra materials outside of class to support my progress. He’s also very flexible with scheduling, which makes the learning process much easier. On top of that, his rates are very reasonable compared to others

Dillon is an amazing accent coach. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. After just a few months, my English has improved a lot and I keep getting compliments. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience working with Dillon. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. Dillon's method was clear and effective. I noticed improvement quickly and felt supported throughout. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to communicate more confidently and connect with their true voice.

Hey everyone,

If you’re on the fence about working with Dillon, don’t be. He really knows his stuff. You can even check out some of his past client sessions on his Fiverr page.

As an actor, he’s got a sharp ear for accents—whether it’s British, American, or Australian. I’ve worked with other great coaches before, but since I’m at a more advanced level, a few of them felt they couldn’t take me much further. Dillon, on the other hand, gave me targeted drills and exercises that actually helped me keep improving.

Like others have said, he’s super organized and really makes sure every minute of your session counts. Highly recommend.

I really liked working with Dillon. He helped me a lot to improve my pronunciation and feel more confident when I speak. Now, when people ask me to repeat the sentence, I know how to sound more clear.
I think Dillon's strategy is very efficient. If you are ready to work hard, he can really help you. Something that they don't teach you at school, he is able to explain very clearly and train you to do.
Dillon is also a very nice person, and it was a pleasure to interact with him.
I highly recommend Dillon as your accent tutor.

Dillon Ford is a great pro, I loved those sessions. I met with him after my relocation to US and thanks to his professionalism I have improved my accent. I’m originally from Russia so we do have some rough edges, different tone and generally speaking difficulty to speak with fluidity. I appreciate Dillon’s help and effort. Despite my desire to laugh and joke during our classes he kept me focused on my work and made sure there is a huge progress. Good luck!

I took 10 classes with Dillon (and more to come). Dillon is incredibly organized - every session runs on time, with a clear structure and purpose. He always comes prepared, and I leave each class knowing exactly what to practice and how to improve. What really stands out is how much he cares about his students; he’s patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you get better. His focus on precision and clarity has noticeably improved how I speak.

I can’t recall when I first noticed my disgusting pronunciation, but that was the moment I started looking for an accent reduction coach. Due to personal preferences, I wanted to learn the Standard American accent.

My main criterion for a teacher is always simple: those who take a skill for granted might not know how to gain it, but someone who has overcome the same issues I face would be able to relate and guide me effectively.

Somehow, I stumbled upon Dillon’s YouTube page, and after watching his video parodying my accent, I was 100% (mistakenly) convinced—this guy was my compatriot! His understanding of typical pronunciation stereotypes was astonishing. That was the moment I knew I should learn from him and no one else.

Over the next two months, Dillon was never late for a lesson and remained extremely flexible with my occasionally changing schedule. He provided critical feedback that helped me to recognize my incorrect pronunciation habits and learn the correct patterns.

Now, I’m a grateful student of Dillon’s, and I’m extremely satisfied with the progress I’ve made in this short time.

I can’t stop laughing when I watch recordings of myself speaking English from that pre-study period. More importantly, given the pace of my improvement, I’m confident that in two months, I’ll be laughing at the pronunciation of my current self.

As a teacher myself (in a different field) and actress trying to work on my accents but struggling as it’s harder to tell by yourself where you might need more work on, Dillon in just a few sessions has already helped me to improve, and grow confident at accessing an American accent easier.

His approach to teaching, examples and explanations are so extremely detailed allowing you to incorporate the skills and techniques talked about in class even on your own.

Not only is he super professional and friendly, but also very patient and understanding with how certain sounds might be harder to adjust for people with other accents, and tries to break it down, and explain in ways that is clear and easier to work through.

I highly recommend Dillion for those seeking to learn accents whether it be for a certain career, or just cleaning up your own accents as he’ll really pin point where exactly you’re struggling and work through every session to improve and gain that confidence in your desired accent.

Dillon is an outstanding coach! He is not only encouraging but also employs diverse methods, including class materials, video recordings, and class diaries, to help students improve and succeed. His attentiveness, patience, and professionalism truly set him apart. It's never too late to make a change—I highly recommend him!

Dillon is such a great teacher, very patient and kind. The way he breaks down the sounds in words and makes it easy to work on is so helpful. He makes learning (and failing) easy and fun and even when it takes me forever to get something right, he is always encouraging and never judgmental. I would recommend his classes and resources to anyone looking to work on their accent.

I'm truly glad I had Dillon as my accent and pronunciation coach. In a short period of time, he helped me significantly improve my pronunciation, which has made a big difference in how I communicate — both at work and in everyday life.

Dillon is methodical and detail-oriented in his teaching approach. He breaks down complex sounds clearly and gives practical feedback that’s easy to apply. At the same time, he's personable and encouraging, which makes each lesson enjoyable and motivating.

If you struggle with spoken English or want to build clearer and more confident communication skills, I highly recommend working with Dillon. He’s not only a skilled coach, but also a supportive and approachable teacher.
