Accent Reduction Course – Testimonials

Your accent course has had such a big impact on me. It was so easy for me to get motivated because I felt I got immediate results. This course has been an eye opening experience and has made me realize how I sound to others. In my work, I meet new people every day. Talking to these people that I meet is giving me the opportunity to speak with my newly learned accent, and I speak with more confidence. Thank you mucho, Derra!”

Ms.Derra Huxley, is an excellent teacher and speech therapist. She was my son’s speech therapist when I met her; she was so sweet, fun, patient, knowledgeable and understanding that it made my son want to go to his therapy sessions every week. Within 10 weeks she corrected his speech problem and we were on our way out, but I was so amazed and happy with her work, that I asked her if she could help me to improve my English and reduce my accent. 14 weeks later I can tell you that I’m very happy that I took that accent modification course with her, and very pleased with my progress. My English improved about 65% and not only in my pronunciation, enunciation and conversational skills but also in my knowledge of the English language and grammar. THANK YOU MS. DERRA.”

First of all, I want to thank my teacher Derra Huxley for her professionalism, knowledge and her application of the materials used in the course. It was obvious since my first session that Derra has a great knowledge and understanding of what “accent reduction” is all about. My first evaluation by Derra was right on target with all my weaknesses in reproducing English sounds. The materials that she provided me at the beginning of the course, as well as those provided on a session-by-session basis were thoughtful and carefully prepared to meet my needs.”
