At Speak More Clearly, our goal is to teach you how to change your speech so you can speak with confidence, be understood, and gain respect from colleagues, clients, and bosses.

Our courses are led by speech therapists and based on scientific research. During our years of assisting people in learning to speak English clearly with a particular accent, we discovered that your brain needs three factors to reduce your accent.

1. Frequency

For 15 minutes each day, you need to frequently repeat your lessons OUT LOUD so you can hear yourself. While doing this:

Notice if you are organizing your mouth the way our detailed description and video training courses explain
Practice words and word combinations (especially new or challenging ones) multiple times, so your mouth learns how to move correctly without thought from you.

2. Intensity

Reducing your accent relies on the intensity involved in your practice.

Concentrate on what you say and how you are speaking, so you know you are getting the words correct
Focus your energy on your practice. Going through the motions halfheartedly will not create the results you want. When you practice, notice changes and how it feels to pronounce something correctly.

3. Duration

Some elements of speech are easier to master than others. When you continually practice, you are creating new neuro-pathways in your brain. These new pathways are necessary to reduce your accent and may take one week of 15 minutes a day practice to master, while other words or phrases may need two or three weeks of daily 15-minute practice to create the neurological pathways necessary to reduce your accent.

How Long Will It Take for Me to See Results?

While the amount of time may vary somewhat depending on the person and how much practice is done, this time frame is reliable and based on what our students report:

• 2-4 Weeks- After practising for 15 minutes a day, you will begin to notice changes in your accent.
• 30-90 Days- Between 30- 90 days, you will be mastering new vowel and consonant sounds, and you will notice pronouncing words is easier.
• 90 Days- At this point, your accent is noticeably different and using English stress, and rhythm is becoming second nature.
• 6 Months- Your speech sounds much more natural, and you feel confident with your ability to speak.
• In 1 Year- You will communicate effectively and speak confidently and fluently. You will also notice you do not need to repeat yourself because you sound more like a native speaker.

Private Coaching With Our Trainers

A beneficial learning option is our Private Coaching with Our Trainers. With private coaching, you will work one-on-one with our highly trained coaching experts.

By working closely with you, our coaches will get to know you and tune in to the areas of your speech that concern you. Additionally, in a private setting, your coach can focus on giving you the best and most specific training possible. For example, you might need to learn the vocabulary and technical language of your profession, practice for the IELTS speaking test, learn to speak while chairing a meeting confidently, learn to speak more clearly for job interviews, or want to speak clearly and confidently in social situations. Your coach can tailor your training to help you master the speech skills to excel and be confident whatever the situation.

Private coaching offers you many other benefits, including:

• Immediate Feedback – Your coach can offer assistance in real-time. If you are not pronouncing something correctly, you can learn the proper way before you develop a bad speech habit.
• Supportive Environment – Your coach is interested and invested in your success. They can offer tips and instruction in real-time to help you learn faster and gain confidence in your abilities.
• Fast Progress – Because the focus of your sessions is on you and ways to help you succeed, you will master your specific accent much faster than if you were one of a crowd.
• The Benefit of a Speech Therapist – Your coach is more than an educated native language teacher. We employ experienced speech therapists who have spent years helping people modify their way of speaking.
• Hearing Yourself – Your coach can show you the best ways to develop self-feedback, so you can hear whether you are saying a word or sound more clearly and with the correct accent. Additionally, they will share helpful tips and specialized techniques to help you master challenging speech elements.
