I work in a professional setting, and there were often times I was talked over or correctively echoed while communicating in group meetings. Even though I have strong abilities in my field, my pronunciation issues sometimes made me appear unprofessional. I decided to seek coaching to improve my pronunciation, and I was very fortunate to find Chelsea.

Chelsea quickly recognized my pronunciation challenges, which was incredibly valuable because I wouldn’t have been able to identify them on my own. You can’t improve what you don’t know, and her insight gave me the clarity I needed to make real progress.

I appreciate that she has well-structured lesson plans. She takes notes on the words and sounds I pronounce incorrectly, and in the next session, she prepares targeted lessons and practice exercises to address those issues.

I’ve seen significant improvement compared to when I started. She also taught me how American speakers naturally pronounce words — how they reduce certain sounds and change others — which has made it much easier for me to understand what people are saying.

Working with Chelsea not only improved my pronunciation but also boosted my confidence in professional and everyday conversations. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to communicate more clearly and effectively.

I work in the media industry and I had a feeling that transforming my accent was key to unlocking new professional opportunities. Working with Chelsea was absolutely instrumental in that journey. She didn't just teach me the mechanics of the American accent; she provided a transformative coaching experience that directly contributed to my career growth.

Beyond her incredible expertise, Chelsea is simply an amazing person. Her sessions were always so much fun, and she has this rare ability to be very knowledgeable while keeping the learning process engaging and light. I can't recommend her highly enough—she's a gifted coach and a true pleasure to work with. My only regret is I didn't reach out to her earlier! So if you're thinking that your American accent might need some improvement, don't wait - call Chelsea now!

Working with Chelsea over the past three years has changed both my professional and personal life. As a non-native English speaker, I used to struggle to make myself understood in daily conversation, especially at work. Chelsea’s guidance helped me build a more natural, fluent, and confident American accent.

She showed me real-life speech patterns like the schwa, glottal T, and linking sounds that I had never learned in a classroom. She paid close attention to the small habits I carried over from my native language and helped me fix subtle but important differences, like “great” vs. “greet,” “work” vs. “walk,” and “world,” “causal,” “of,” and others.  She also trained my ear and mouth to connect syllables more smoothly, both within and between words, which made my speech much easier to follow.

Beyond pronunciation, Chelsea practiced job interview scenarios with me and gave me the confidence to land a job at Cisco. In the past, I often had awkward moments where colleagues asked me to repeat myself or pretended they understood with a blank smile. Now conversations flow more easily, and those issues rarely come up. I feel much more confident and part of my team.

Since starting lessons in July 2022, I can say Chelsea’s coaching has made a big difference in how I speak, how others see me, and how I feel about myself at work. I’m grateful for her support and recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their spoken English.
