Introduction: I have been passionate about helping clients improve their speech and language skills throughout my career. Effective communication is imperative for both personal and professional relationships. My technical expertise, knowledge and background translates very well into coaching both public speaking skills (delivery in particular) as well as helping non-native English speakers acquire new pronunciation and speaking skills to improve intelligibility and communication with Native American speakers. All coaching is individualized based on an assessment to develop a plan specific to your needs, and usually addresses both sounds as well as intonation, stress an rhythm patterns of speech. With public speaking skills, I can address delivery through improved use of voice, articulation and body language. I work through online platforms to provide individualized coaching, and can work face to face in Columbus Ohio area (after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted). I have a bachelors degree in speech and hearing science, masters degree in speech-language pathology, and many hours of continuing education in the fields of articulation , speech production, voice, language, accent modification, and business communication skills.

ESL (English as a Second Language) Lessons

I had an amazing learning journey with Jenny. Her listening skills, attention to detail, and constructive feedback were very beneficial in helping me improve my English pronunciation and speaking skills. The personalized and comprehensive program was organized in such a way that each lesson reinforces the learning points from previous lessons. I enjoyed the practice exercises that were built into each lesson. Jenny's words of encouragement motivated me to work even harder at mastering the nuances of the English language. Her program is definitely worth the investment in time and money - for those who are curious about value. I strongly recommend Jenny to those who are looking to strengthen their command of the English language.

Jenny has been extremely helpful with coaching me how to improve my accent. She records our sessions so I can listen to them later which is amazing. I would highly recommend her.

I had done accent reduction training with two licensed speech pathologists before working with Jenny Fusco (my third training). Jenny is by far the best pathologist I have ever worked with! As a CCC-SLP, I have no doubt about Jenny's professional expertise in Speech-Language Pathology. What is more important, however, is that Jenny did an excellent job in providing me personalized coaching in a systematic and well-organized manner, supported with well-prepared materials. After a personalized online assessment, she developed a course outline that meets my need. She started with the most important areas like intonation, syllables, stress and ear training - topics that I can make an immediate impact. She prepared very well-organized teaching materials to teach me systematically in these topics, including homework. She also responded promptly with useful advices whenever I sent her my homework (e.g. audio files). I recorded all our teaching sessions. The recorded sessions, the teaching materials and the assignments themselves are super valuable for me to continue practicing and improving my spoken English. If you are frustrated with disorganized pathologists who (seemingly) randomly pick a topic to teach every time they meet you (without well-prepared teaching materials), you should work with Jenny! I highly recommend Jenny to people who want to improve their spoken English! Thanks, Gary Li

I have a bachelors degree in speech and hearing science, a masters degree in speech-language pathology.

I specialized in oral motor skills, alternative communication, language development, articulation, and social language disorders throughout my practice. This background coupled with many public speaking, accent modification, speech and voice related courses and self study (such as Compton Pronunciation of English as a second language and Robert Kinney's Accent modification) have given me a strong framework for accent modification coaching. I am a member of Corspan (corporate speech pathology network) .
