Know exactly what is holding your accent back.
The Baseline is a personal assessment of how you actually speak. I listen, mark every sound and rhythm pattern green, amber or red, and tell you what to fix first.

- You get asked to repeat yourself.In meetings, on calls, and in the moments where being understood the first time matters most.
- You lead, present or sell in English.Founders, managers, consultants and engineers who need people to follow them without effort.
- You have studied English for years.Your grammar and vocabulary are strong. Something in how it sounds still gets in the way, and nobody has told you what.
- You want a plan, not more advice.Generic tips do not know your first language or your habits. A Baseline does.
A clear map of your speech, and a place to start.
Most pronunciation tools hand you a score from a few seconds of audio. I listen to you, then explain what I hear in plain language.
Core sounds
The consonants and vowels that most often change how clearly you are understood, each rated green, amber or red.
Rhythm patterns
Stress, pacing, linking and intonation. The music of English that listeners rely on as much as individual sounds.
Priorities, in order
A short list of what to work on first, so you stop trying to fix everything at once.
Four steps. No preparation.

Hi, I'm Ryan.
Between building Metal Studio, a business that lives or dies on clear customer relationships, and teaching at Chiang Mai University, where precision in language matters just as much, I kept noticing the same pattern. Skilled, capable professionals whose ideas were not landing the way their expertise deserved, not because of what they knew, but because of how it came out.
I have 20 years of experience, and I coach accent reduction for professionals around the world from Chiang Mai. Every session and every report is done by me personally.
“He knew exactly what I needed to work on, and just from one session I completely understood what I was doing wrong and how I can improve.”
Ryan provided excellent service! He clearly explained everything and used a step by step approach to help identify and address my issues through exercises and conversation. I highly recommend him, thank you so much!

Ryan is a very good teacher. In just two sessions he was able to significantly improve my awareness of what I'm doing wrong in terms of pronunciation and provide a lot of useful exercises. Classes were engaging and the value is very high. I plan to continue!

Ryan has been my accent reduction coach since September 2024. He is a very patient and encouraging coach, and I have made great improvement after attending coaching sessions with him.

I booked the first introduction lesson and I could already notice some improvements on my pronunciation, so I decided to get two lessons. If you need to improve your pronunciation, he's the best teacher.

Ryan is an excellent teacher who always notices important details that I would never catch on my own, and he guides me in the right direction.
Martin Preply
I choose to learn with Ryan because I am looking for a tutor who can help me with my pronunciation. Ryan is really good in that he pointed out the mistake I had made and correct it patiently. I can tell he is an experienced tutor, by listening to my presentation, he can instantly comment which part is lacking.

Ryan is a professional English teacher who can identify my strengths and weaknesses. Accordingly he provides lots of learning activities in speaking, writing, vocabulary and usage, during and after the lessons. For instance, the pronunciation drills have improved my pronunciation and fluency.

Ryan is the best English teacher I’ve ever met. He has helped me reduce choppiness when speaking, improve my grammar, and he creates different scenarios that vividly guide me into the English speaking world.
Charles Preply
I took 3 lessons with Ryan to prepare myself for interviews with Graduate School admissions team. The process of practicing and receiving immediate feedback about my answers and the time I was taking to answer were really helpful and I felt confident in my interviews.
