"I would say to my friends, colleagues and co-workers . . . Speech Modification is the most important class for all international students, workers and non-native English speakers. It was the most interesting, helpful, useful, and professional class I have ever taken before."

""Outstanding" is a word that I would use to describe my training experience with Christine. I was fortunate to find Christine to help me with accent-reduction a few years ago. A dedicated trainer, she has done a remarkable job in identifying and targeting the areas that I needed to improve on. A friendly and warm person, Christine made every training session enjoyable for me, and she is someone that I can approach for advice even after my program was over. I would definitely recommend Christine to anyone who wants to reduce accent or improve communication skills in general!"

I cannot recommend her services highly enough."

Spanish-native speaker here. I've lived in the USA for 5 years and I work in an environment that demands good communication skills. Every day I struggle to speak and give clear and concise messages, not only that but my peers struggled to understand me. I had very little confidence driving meetings because the audience would lose attention because they couldn't understand me. Fed up of that situation I enrolled to the "American Accent Training for Professionals" course. I didn't know what to expect and I was afraid of speaking. Anyways, first class I was mind blown. Christine, the teacher, not only has a lot of years of experience helping professionals under her belt, she gave a class very dynamic, with a lot of participation between peers and combining theory and practice. During the course she showed us how to progress, what accent patterns of our native language could be getting into the way and how to improve them, how to practice solo and with people. Also the other classmates were very open and social, we were a multicultural class with people from India, China, Mongolia, Russia, Poland and Mexico which it was great because I get to hear different accents. Overall, I would recommend this course for anyone that wants to improve her/his accent. I feel that now I have the tools to improve it.
