    Svetlana is a great speech therapist, probably the best you can find in bay area. As I would say,…read moreSveta is teacher with capital T. She has an impeccable approach with children of any age. My son, who completely refused to talk at the age of 2 years and 10 months, started to repeat words after just few sessions with Sveta. His words were not very clear at first, but with Sveta he was willing to try and to repeat. The pronunciation became increasingly better with every week, and his word count started to grow as well. Moreover, my son had attention span of about 2 minutes, tops, when we started our lessons with Sveta. In a couple of months' worth of sessions Sveta was able to retain his attention from 2 minutes to one full hour! It made a huge difference in his behavior as well as his speech progress. Sveta also teaches my son not only how to say something properly, she also helps him with his overall development. She started with teaching shapes, colors, fruits, animals, all the things he would need to know at his age. Then she continued with count, numbers and professions, etc. Then she introduced reading and repeating in our own words Russian fairy tales. Not an easy concept for my 3 year old, but he is sticking with it and trying to do just that. No matter what challenging task she introduces to my son, she makes it exciting, and my son is willing to try it with her. My son absolutely LOVES her lessons. Every time when I tell him we are going to Sveta he gets very excited. He always runs from our car to her office. When our one hour sessions with her are over, he does not want to leave and asks her to continue. I cannot believe it sometimes, 3.5 year old after full hour of lesson asking for more, really?! Believe me, it is true. When he realizes that we are going home, then he always grabs Sveta's hand and asks me to take her home with us. It is so adorable! To sum it up, Sveta is great speech therapist and absolutely outstanding teacher. Teaching is definitely Sveta's calling in life and that makes her an impeccable educator. I would recommend her to all parents to who are seeking help with their child.

    Svetlana is a wonderful speech therapist and teacher. Our 4 year old daughter absolutely loves her…read moresessions with Svetlana. She runs towards the office every time we come and wants to stay more when it's time to leave. Svetlana is very creative and makes every session fun and educational at the same time. We are very happy that we found Svetlana.

    I worked with Surina for a number of years. What started out as "presentation training" evolved…read moreinto so much more than that; I would call it "executive training." Surina took the time to get to know me and my teammates well. She was able to understand our individual perspectives and how they effected our development as executives. She was able to help us understand how our words, mannerisms and tone combine to create an image that supports or detracts the message we want to impart to our audience. She was well prepared with new insights in each session. She was honest and thorough with feedback. I feel that my time with Surina helped to significantly enhance my interactions with clients, boards of directors, teammates and direct reports. Working with Surina was a great benefit to my career development.

    Because of Surina's various audiences, she brings more than one perspective to the table. This is…read morehelpful not just for interviews, but for client pitches, crisis management and the lot. I can't say enough good things about Surina. She runs a professional shop with institutional quality yet puts her personal attention and touch to it. Well done. I recommend Dynamically Speaking with zero hesitation.

She has the ability to provide a stellar analysis of my speeches and offer of ways to improve them in remarkable ways. Her masterful advice and guidance calms me down which in turn enables me to make meaningful and powerful presentations. She even shows me how to modulate my breathing to make more impassioned and empowered speeches. A session with her is a gift that I give myself when I need to do a fabulous job!
