Corporate Clients
Look What Former Clients Say about Working with Us!
“I am from India and I know four different languages. I have an accent from many languages. Liz Peterson actually recognized where my accent was from. She rectified the accent quickly. She gave me the correct way to pronounce sounds and words. I keep getting better over time. Her class changed everything for me as I am a doctor and people must understand what I say.”
“Liz’s accent reduction training has a big focus on American melody. Liz has helped me to sound less monotone and more in the style of the Americans. Reducing my accent and the American melody style has really increased my confidence for speaking in front of groups. I am very thankful for Liz.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the accent reduction training options?
We offer 4-, 8-, and 12-hour class models that can be divided across the schedule that makes sense for the company. We offer both onsite and online training worldwide.
What is the best group size?
We recommend group sizes not exceed 8 people, with 4 to 5 participants being best. This is an English pronunciation class and if the group size gets too big, the course becomes more of a lecture and less of a personalized experience.
How will we know there was any improvement?
We offer pre- and post-assessments in the areas of attitudes toward public communication and the impact of the training. Results always demonstrate that participants felt that our training has had a profound impact on their professional role and have greatly benefitted from the training. We can provide a summary of the results.
Will you travel to our location and can team members join online?
Yes, as we feel that being onsite is a better training atmosphere. Often companies have other team members join from other locations and that works too.
Can the training be filmed?
We do not allow the training to be recorded due to our unique proprietary teaching methodology. We thank you for understanding.
