Accent Modification for Professionals in the Silicon Valley - English by the Hour

	I am very happy with my personal coaching. After 15 years practicing dentistry in the U.S. I never imagined how many words I have been mispronouncing in English for all this time. Now, my patients and other fellow dentists can tell the difference in my speech. Rebecca did excellent work with a customized program that fit my need.

	Working with my coach made a big difference in my life. I am not only much more confident at work but also on a day-to-day basis. I was able to record all of our sessions and was very surprised when I compared our first sessions with the last few. I don't always stress all the words correctly, but I am conscious of the mistakes that I am making and can immediately self-correct. The best part was that my coach tailored the instructions to my specific needs. I would bring materials, which had professional terminology from my field, and we would then use them during our sessions. Everyone is very pleasant to work with, and I strongly recommend English by the Hour to anyone who would like to improve his or her spoken English. Wing Hoang Certified Financial Planner

	English by the Hour has great instructors. I've learned a lot, improved my speech a lot. I feel more confident of what I say or speak. One thing I will always remember: "Take a deep breath and let it go when you speak..." I hope to take another course with them very soon!

Farshad Bon Professional Photographer Bon Photography	The best part of accent reduction is not having to repeat over and over again to be understood in this very busy and fast-paced world. It’s remarkable how in a very short period of time, I learned to self-correct! I could hear myself saying a word the old way and then correct it intuitively, until eventually I said it correctly the first time. To me it was like magic. English by the Hour's personalized custom program allows you to focus on what matters most and make significant changes quickly, joyfully and proudly. The positive effects on my business are remarkable. There are no words that can describe what this course has meant to me. All I can say is that: LIFE WILL NOT BE THE SAME AGAIN!
Suzie Ushijima Esthetician, Electrologist, Eyebrow Design Specialist Suzie's Skin and Beauty Centre	As a business owner, I need to speak English with customers on a daily basis. Although I can do this with ease, there were times when I just wasn’t sure I was saying things right. After working with my coach, I feel much more confident in my abilities! I know the rules of pronunciation now, and all I have to do is apply them. I have also begun to expand my vocabulary and knowledge on a variety of topics outside of my area of expertise. This allows me to network more effectively and comfortably.
Shirley Mesias Sales Professional Valley Yellow Pages	Before I met my coach, I really didn’t think I could change my accent. Honestly, I had taken lots of English courses, and I thought I just talked with an accent, and that was it. In the last few weeks, I have learned just how much power I have to change my speech! As a Sales Professional, it is so important to connect with customers, especially over the phone, and that’s nearly impossible with a strong accent. Thanks to my coach pinpointing specific areas for me to focus on, I am speaking more clearly and powerfully every day! It’s all about personal change and empowerment, and it happens so quickly when you know what to do.
Tammy Tran Medical Student	I plan to study medicine, and the first thing my advisor told me was I would probably have to move to another area outside of Silicon Valley when I become a doctor. I realized then I had to do something about my pronunciation! Working with my coach over the past year, I have been able to make progress and gain confidence in my speech. This is critically important when working with colleagues and patients! I was so glad that my accent is no longer holding back my career success!
