Introduction: I train foreign born professionals and young adults in pronunciation of English for effective communication. Learn to speak English that American friends and colleagues can understand. You will learn the Compton Method, which is a structured, proven method that sticks or stays with you long after the training has ended. I really like showing people they can achieve more than they think possible. I especially like learning the structure of different languages and comparing them to English so I can zero in on challenging speech issues right away.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I read a client request carefully and contact them if I feel confident I can tutor them. If the client is a non-native ESL speaker seeking to improve their spoken skills I make sure I am familiar with the structure of their first language because this is productive from the start. I have helped student from many countries and their challenges tend to be in areas of grammar that are nonexistent or radically different. However, the clients' objectives are my top priority.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years teaching experience in ESL, and accent modification training. In addition, I have worked as a technical writer for over 14 years. My writing career gave me the opportunity to write for many different audiences. As a result I an appreciation for the differences in writing to persuade, to instruct, or to inform. Education includes a Masters in Technical Professional Writing, Northeastern University, Boston, MA Certification in Accent Modification, Institute of Language and Phonology, San Francisco, CA
How did you get started doing this type of work?
