Clarify Speech Solutions
About
I am an accent trainer who is fluent in English and Spanish. I have taught these languages at the high school and university levels, beginning in 2004. I am trained as a speech-language pathologist, and focus on helping students produce clear speech in their new language. Our sessions are fun and relevant to the student's needs.
I enjoy helping my students connect with their target audience, whether it be for a better job, personal relationships, school opportunities, or simply to feel confident on their vacation. I love to hear stories about how others were impressed by my students' new speech and language skills!

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First, think about what your desired end point will be. Then, make sure your teacher can help you meet the goals you want to meet.
Ask about training and experience.
Ask how long it should take to meet your objective.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Determine what your final objective will be based on your available time, resources, interest, and abilities. Discuss this with your teacher during your first meeting.
Know that all learning takes practice, and that you will need to do work outside of your classes to optimize your success. Are you ready to commit time to add this new skill to your life?
