One on One Coaching
One-on-one coaching means working with you on your issues, your professional vocabulary and your goals. Ten sessions will change your accent and your colleagues will listen to your message, not to how you say it.
Group Sessions
Group sessions guarantee that everyone is heard and will get the personalized attention he/she needs to bring about successful changes.
Videotaping sessions and accent reducing or presentation techniques are used to help you understand on which areas you need to focus. In addition, you will receive personalized recorded vocabulary to use for your daily 10 minute homework exercises.
