Client Testimonials
Nina Macarie | Visibility Expert
(native Romanian speaker)
“Kelly made me feel comfortable during our assessment, she is such a warm, lovely, and patient person, so I highly recommend Kelly!“
When I reached out to Kelly, I did so because I knew I wanted to feel more confident while having conversations.
English is the language I use to run my business and I wanted to be able to make fewer mistakes while talking to peers as well as my potential and current clients.
Connecting in real-time with Kelly and her showing me and explaining to me (repeatedly) how to correctly pronounce things helped me tremendously.
Kelly uses a unique physical approach while teaching pronunciation – using her hands to help me visualize and coordinate the sounds I’m trying to make…without overthinking it. I am a visual person and this approach was very helpful for me.
The results of this assessment gave me clarity on the things that I need to work on so that I can improve my spoken English. It made me aware that once I improve my pronunciation, I will be able to show up more confidently as a business owner.
Kelly made me feel comfortable during our assessment, she is such a warm, lovely, and patient person, so I highly recommend Kelly!
“Kelly dispelled self-sabotaging beliefs about my voice that had kept me from being confident in my speaking for years.”
“Kelly did a great job during our evaluation. She taught me more about voice in a few minutes than I ever knew.
Not only did she take a real life sample and give me so many good tips and tricks, but she dispelled self sabotaging beliefs about my voice that had kept me from being confident in my speaking for years.
In one little trick she made me not only more aware of my voice, but gave me a way to articulate more clearly, in an instant! It was amazing.
If you are having any issues with your words, whether it be to speak on a big stage, or just get through the day confidently, Kelly has the knack to get you on the right track. I highly recommend her services.”

Do I Need An Assessment?
In order to see improvements quickly, you need an approach that has been personalized to your unique strengths and weaknesses. An assessment is the first step in the process!
An assessment helps you:
✅Identify your weaknesses
✅Prioritize what & how you practice
🏆Achieve your goals faster!
What Is Pronunciation Training?
A person’s native language can sometimes interfere with their ability to effectively communicate in English.
Accent and pronunciation training takes into consideration: the sound/feature differences from your native language.
This information is then used to create a highly personalized and systematic approach for improving your accent and pronunciation.
The primary goal of accent and pronunciation training is not to remove your current accent (unless this is your explicit end-goal).
Instead the primary goal is: to ensure you’re clearly understood in everyday conversations.
Pronunciation training will help you feel more comfortable and confident while speaking in English: whether socially or professionally.
What Accents Do You Teach?
Accent services are currently taught in the General American English accent.
Also known as the Standard American Accent. This is a neutral and widely-spoken version of American English.
Other accents are available upon request.
What Are Sessions Like?
Kelly will provide sessions that are: custom-tailored to your specific speech & pronunciation goals.
You will receive immediate feedback throughout the entire session.
Each session will address one target sound or feature (in a variety of contexts); and use high-frequency vocabulary–relevant to your daily activities!
You can expect to experience things like: listening drills, sound/word level drills, reading exercises and conversational activities.
Vocabulary is personalized to your professional and/or educational goals so that you can speak clearly and naturally in your everyday life.
Afterwards, homework is assigned (per your request) to help you continue practicing what you’ve just learned.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
This depends on the results from your assessment.
The assessment protocol will identify and rate your current accent against your desired accent (e.g. a standard American accent).
Kelly will then analyze the accent features phonetically and determine the degree of variance between your current speech patterns and your overall goal.
This information will be used to determine the number of sessions required to address your unique speaking needs.
In general, 12-15 sessions are recommended in order to start noticing meaningful and long-lasting changes in your speaking skills.
How Long Until I Improve?
-You can expect to experience improvement your very first session!
You can expect for others to notice your improvement within your first 4-6 sessions.
Naturally, results will vary based on:
-your baseline skills
-your willingness to regularly implement what you’re learning
-your motivation to practice regularly
Clients who make the most improvement are the ones who:
-keep a consistent training schedule (which includes daily at-home practice).
Each coaching session is designed to maximize your learning & success.
Do You Offer Presentation Coaching?
I’m available to help you prepare for that important interview, meeting, or presentation.
