“I found out about Grace’s work through an online search for accent reduction classes. Five minutes after visiting her site, I sent her an email. Grace’s vast experience really impressed me. I attended one of her very fun info sessions with other prospective students. I was a bit concerned in the beginning because most of her students mainly needed help to be more “out there” socially. I was interested in improving my professional presentation so I could perform in my very serious workplace more skillfully. I became convinced that studying with Grace would be a great investment. Grace helped me with my pronunciation, intonation and posture. She helped me understand what accent really is and how I could take steps toward improving it so people would pay attention to what I’m saying instead of how I’m saying it. Grace is very accommodating and she was constantly finding ways to tweak her program according to my needs. It was an amazing experience working with such a positive and kind professional. I highly recommend Grace’s work - independently of your English level.”

“I have worked with Grace for 8 months and I have definitely been hugely helped by her. She is very experienced, so she found the real problems in my English and offered a great customized training plan. I wasn’t aware of my bad little habits in English, but I could fix them with her help. She knows the little details that can make huge changes. This class helped improve not only my pronunciation and intonation, but also my general English skills, such as presentation skills and writing. Above all, I learned how to speak English with confidence. My coworkers and friends have noticed the improvement in my English, and I have, too! Her teaching style is so enjoyable and encouraging and the class is always warm and nice. I strongly recommend her class for non-English speakers who can’t figure out what the real problems are with their English.”

“My experience with Grace has been outstanding. Some people say you can’t get rid of an accent. Well, Grace says you can. Throughout my classes with her, she’s been working on tiny adjustments to the way I speak that have made a whole world of difference. Every week I brought to class stories of my small victories, when I flawlessly expressed myself or people finally understood me when I said ‘Spotify.’ Those experiences meant a lot to me as I saw progress every week. Grace has been very supportive and encouraging; she actually made me a more confident person. Every week I looked forward to our class. It was a superb way to relieve the stress of the day and have an excellent time learning new and interesting things.”

“Grace’s accent reduction private classes that I took allowed me to speak to a big audience with more confidence. She immediately detected my accent weaknesses in English and sounds that we should work on improving because she is used to working with a wide variety of accents. I was extremely impressed by her teaching methodology, the intellectually stimulating material that she selected for our classes, and her digital library of exercises on pronunciation that she offers to her students. I recommend Grace to anybody who has a hard-to-understand accent as well as to those who simply have a few sounds to streamline as it was my case.”

“Grace helped me identify the weakest areas of my accent and helped me improve those. Many times before I didn’t know how to make a particular sound and hence how to say a word right. Grace helped me improve all those sounds and now I can speak with more confidence. She also helped me realize that the sounds aren’t everything and the actual intonation matters even more than the sounds themselves. This was like a revelation to me! Grace helped me identify what was off with my intonation and why it was more difficult for native speakers to understand. Now, when I use the proper intonation and stress patterns when I speak, I can see a completely different reaction from the people I speak with. This is fantastic! I can finally enjoy the conversation instead of being stressed about it. Thank you, Grace!”

“I made a very wise decision to take private lessons with Grace. Learning from YouTube is not as effective as learning from Grace directly. Her classes helped me understand how to pronounce correctly, which also directly built my confidence at my job at Starbucks. The rhythm, intonation and word stress taught by Grace helped me a lot when talking to customers and calling out drink orders. Customers and my co-workers can clearly understand me now and I have to repeat myself much less often than before, when I did not know what my mistakes were. The most important thing Grace taught me is how to sound friendly when communicating. I am thankful to her for sharing with me that a secret to success in the American workplace is sounding friendly. On the job, I applied everything Grace taught me and it made a huge improvement. I am truly thankful and appreciate Grace.”

“I had a great experience working with Grace Wood. I was enrolled in the individual lessons with the aim of learning about pronunciation and reducing my accent. My main goal was to sound like a native speaker by the end of the series. All my goals were achieved. I transformed into a confident speaker of clear English. Grace is a great professional who was able to quickly identify my weak spots in American English pronunciation and get them fixed. Classes are well structured and the learning materials are simply great. I had a great time and enjoyed myself. I highly recommend Grace.”

“A professional, conscientious and friendly teacher, an informative class, and step-by-step instructions on how to speak like a native speaker. We can get intensive practice in recognizing and pronouncing the sounds, stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns of American English. I have studied with Grace for 4 months. I feel more confident speaking English and I highly recommend this class to other students. Thank you, Grace.”

“Grace is a specialist in pointing out what you’ll need to improve and how to do it. Her feedback helped me a lot on where to focus. I was struggling for a long time and didn’t know how to refine my pronunciation. Her teaching made such a difference.”

“I think Pronunciation of English is a wonderful class for anyone who likes to speak English correctly. Grace’s class is fun. She has so much patience with her students and a unique way of teaching them how to learn the material.

“I have been working on my pronunciation with Grace for 6 months. Thanks to Grace, I understand why native speakers of English didn’t understand me. I didn’t have any idea how important pronunciation is until I started using Grace’s advice with native speakers and seeing they could understand me completely. She has impressive knowledge of all the pronunciation errors that each non-native English speaker could make.”

“The class really helped me to correct many problems in my accent. I speak confidently now and everyone understands my English.”

Thank you so much, Ms. Wood.”

“Grace helped me to hear what I used to sound like, which was a huge shock to me! People are usually too polite to ask me to clarify what I say or they are used to accents from different countries. I really enjoyed working with her; she is very experienced, knowledgeable and supportive! She worked with me on details and provided me with customized worksheets to correct my pronunciation. The improvement that I made became a tremendous asset for my career and life over all. Thank you, Grace!”

“It’s my pleasure to recommend the language coaching and teaching skills of Grace Wood. I have worked alongside Grace for 6 years and have seen the remarkable results she has with people who are trying learn the English language.

I have seen people who struggle with English be transformed into confident conversationalists in just a matter of weeks as a result of coaching from Grace.”

“Great course to help you develop vocal, expressive and native pronunciation skills. At the end I felt more confident and had more consistent pronunciation. Great!”

“At the beginning of this school year, my pronunciation was not good. Because of this, I decided to take an online pronunciation course. My teacher, whose name is Grace, is so nice.

If you are looking for a teacher, I would say she is the best. I guarantee it.”

“It was a great time. I enjoyed every class. As a Spanish speaker, pronunciation is huge. It was helpful learning how to pronounce every word not only to be understood by others, but also to understand others.”

“This class was the best class I have ever taken. I learned a lot and improved my skills. I would recommend taking this class to my friends and I have already suggested they do so.”

“Very useful, if not essential, for any non-native speaker willing to be understood. A few tips made a big change and the class allows you to work on these tips to get fast results. Interesting and FUN! Perfect after a day at work. More people should take this class, and I’ll not hesitate to refer friends to it with the same need. Professor really adapts/adjusts to each student’s level and challenges.”

“Grace’s courses are a fun environment in which to work on my pronunciation weaknesses. I could identify them and then practiced with different complimentary approaches to correct them. At the end, my English improved and my day-to-day life, as well. I also met great people during the 8 weeks.”

“I really enjoyed this class. I’m glad that I enrolled and it really helped me a lot. The teacher is very professional and has a well-planned and organized lesson plan.
