Accent Reduction Specialist

For many doctors, nurses, teachers, sales people and other professionals, having to repeat themselves over and over and wonder if the other person really understood them — or was just too polite to say anything can be frustrating and even quite embarrassing.  

Whilst you are proud of your background and culture, you want to be able to fit in and feel at home with the English speaking culture where you now live. You are intelligent, well educated and hard working but you can’t always get your point across clearly. And fear because of this you may missing out on getting that perfect job or promotion. You may be a doctor who is finding it difficult to pass your OSCE exams.

​

There are two elements to all accents:- pronunciation and intonation. Usually we bring the speech melody and rhythm from our first language to the others and that together with inexact pronunciation causes problems with being understood particularly over the phone. To overcome these issues, I coach you in person or over Skype (which most clients really like because they can do it from the privacy of home which saves on time and travel). You will also receive notes and a recording of each lesson so you can practice between classes.

​

Most clients have one class per week and continue until they reach the level with which they are happy. Many healthcare professionals have gained confidence in spoken communication when it matters and have said that the classes for them have been life changing.

​

We also help clients who have been disheartened by the  effects of lisps, stutters and other speech-related issues.

 

In the Public and Community Health sector, it is critical that people are able to understand what you are saying. In emergency situations, it may even be a matter of life or death.

Many of our successful clients are currently working at major hospitals including: The Alfred Hospital, Box Hill Hospital, Monash Hospital, the Austin Hospital, Ballarat Base and Colac Hospitals.
