Learn  to  Speak  English  Clearly

When you speak with a foreign accent it can be difficult to be easily understood,  leave you feeling self-conscious, reduce your confidence, or interfere with a professional opportunity. Online accent reduction can help.

If your goal is to maximize your confidence and comfort in speaking situations, speaking on the phone, consulting face-to-face,  being interviewed, leading a presentation, or simply socializing, then you are in the right place.

• You already have proficiency in English.
• You want to be understood the first time, every time.
• You want more confidence speaking on the phone.
• You want that second interview.
• You want to open yourself to more professional opportunities.
• You want to accelerate your career.
• You want to feel more comfortable in social situations.
• You want to blend in and have less focus on your accent.

I have been helping people improve their speaking skills for over 25 years as a certified Speech Therapist and Accent Reduction Trainer.  I am a certified trainer in the Compton PESL Accent Modification Method. This Method is based on over 20 years of research. Studies have demonstrated a 50% or greater improvement in speech clarity for clients who complete their prescribed training.

I will do a complete analysis of your spoken English and customize your training program.  I am committed to using proven techniques to create noticeable and lasting changes in your speech clarity so your listeners will more easily understand you.

Ideal for students, professionals and job seekers with a foreign accent who have difficulty being understood by others.  If you are undecided about registering for an online accent reduction course, you may simply register for the online assessment and decide at a later date whether you will register for a course. In such cases, the cost of your assessment would be deducted from your course fee.
