I worked with Melanie to improve my accent. It wasn't your average English language program…read more Melanie took the time to analyze MY slips of the accent which minimized the time for improvement. Melanie took into consideration my language background and the sounds I am used to hearing and making. She was able to be technical with me when we needed to get technical, and she was focusing on results as opposed to the classification of sounds and short and long vowels. As for results, I am noticing a significant positive change in my oral communication skills. I am now able to pick up the subtle changes in vowels and consonants. Perhaps, this is very personal, but it meant a lot to me. I always had a hard time in clubs and bars where people would ask me about my accent right away. As soon as I said a few words. I felt that people were immediately making assumptions about me being foreign or unsophisticated. After working with Melanie, a miracle happened. Nobody asked me about where I was from, at all!!! Two guys even thought I grew up in Pennsylvania. It was the biggest compliment for me and Melanie. Again, if you are doing business in New York or somewhere in the states and have a hard time with your business communication, I highly recommend that you work with Mel. It's an investment and not an expense.

She went above and beyond her time to make sure I had the tools I needed for success. If you need clarity and confidence in how you present your work, I can't recommend Melanie enough.

Lisa did an amazing job with our daughter. She was always well prepared, provided detailed session…read moresummaries after every visit, and communicated exceptionally well with us. Our daughter absolutely adored her. Lisa was always available whenever I had questions, responded quickly, and collaborated closely with our daughter's other therapists to ensure she received the best possible support. From the very beginning, they formed a wonderful connection, and over time, Lisa became much more than a therapist--she became a true friend to our daughter. Even now that we've moved away, Lisa still takes the time to chat with her from time to time, which means so much to all of us. We truly cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family, and we are all very sad not to have her by our side anymore. Thank you as well for always checking in and making sure everything was going well. We really appreciated your support throughout the process. - Peggy, mom of Upper West Side 4th grader

My main problem with my communication skills was my accent. I was born and raised in America but I…read morehave a strong New York accent so I was looking for a way to improve my speech, American accent, diction and voice. During my time in the company I work for, I had come to better understand the power and importance of proper English expression diction. Language can sometimes create unconscious bias. I wanted to maximize the value that I had to the organization. My goal was to feel clear, confident and self-aware when speaking. By the completion of this course, I had improved my speech intelligibility, accent reduction, production and language comprehension.

Rochel explained everything thoroughly in our intro call before Jillian took over the training sessions. Jillian was extraordinarily patient and caring, explained all kinds of details, and helped me learn things I had never heard before. And, importantly, the classes were fun! It was such a pleasure to work with Jillian and learn and improve my language skills step by step. I feel my accent improved after each session, and I could keep all the training materials, so I kept practicing even after my classes ended. I highly recommend it!
