Achieve Success in an English-Speaking Society

There are some simple ways to know whether your accent is standing between you and your success in an English-speaking society.

  • Are you often misunderstood?
  • Do people frequently ask you to repeat yourself?
  • Do you feel that people are focusing more on your accent than on what you are saying?
  • Do you fear that your accent is standing in the way of getting the job you want, or from being promoted at your work?
  • Do you feel embarrassed and upset when people have difficulty understanding you?

I can help you to speak more confidently and be understood.

Testimonial #1

Learning with you was a very pleasant experience. I always felt comfortable to keep trying even when I had difficulty in making certain sounds. The information on your website says you are a patient, caring, and enthusiastic professional, and it is not a false advertisement!

Testimonial #1

I saw a friend today who I hadn’t seen for a few months. She didn’t know that I was taking accent reduction classes and told me, ‘Oh, my goodness, what happened to your accent? Did you lose it???’ …just wanted to thank you and share with you my little personal victory.

Testimonial #1

Derra always showed a great deal of interest in each session. At the beginning of each session, she was extremely well prepared, giving me the impression that she had been working hours before our meeting planning and designing the class.

Testimonial #1

The course materials are very well structured and provide an important resource even after I finish with the course. I can keep using them on my own and continue to improve my accent as much as I need or want to.”
