HI, AND WELCOME! My name is Bobbi and I am a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist and Accent/Pronunciation Expert. A native English speaker from California, I help individuals who speak English as a second language and feel their accent is preventing them from reaching their full professional and/or personal potential. MY LESSONS ARE: Personalized, 1-on-1, online, live, engaging, & evidence-based, and will help you: - Speak and pronounce English fluently, - Understand English speakers easily, and - Be understood effortlessly DOES YOUR ACCENT LIMIT YOU? We all have an accent. Accents are normal, natural, and something to be very proud of! They can also, unfortunately, sometimes cause you to be less effective at communicating, even if you have strong vocabulary and grammar skills. Or worse, they can (illogically) cause a person to be viewed as less intelligent, trustworthy, or credible. IF SO, I'M YOUR SOLUTION! My lessons focus on alleviating miscommunications caused by the natural influence of your native language's speech-sound system on your spoken English, using my experience with professional, established, Speech-Language Pathology techniques. Due to my extensive training and experience, when listening to someone speak, I immediately know: 1. Which individual sound(s) within in a word they pronounce differently that make them harder to understand, 2. What they are doing differently with their mouth placement, voice, and airflow manipulation, and 3. How they can change these to be understood easily LET ME HELP YOU REACH YOUR PERSONAL GOALS I customize your lessons to meet your individual needs, such as to: -Sound more like a native American-English speaker when speaking with colleagues and customers -Improve your pronunciation in professional videos for your podcast or YouTube channel -Get a promotion / be recognized at work -Interview and give presentations more effectively -Feel appreciated by others for being bilingual as opposed to feeling discriminated against -Communicate more effectively with your boss / coworkers / employees / customers / patients / students / friends / family / partner -Be understood the first time you speak instead of being asked to repeat yourself, and -Feel confident speaking English MY METHODOLOGY: I'm patient, encouraging & organized. You’ll receive an: 1. In-depth test (1-2 hours) to determine which exact aspects of your speech you can improve on 2. Written report explaining your test results (overall score, list of errors, % accuracy for each error, which word position your errors are in, etc) 3. Personalized, functional, measurable goals, tailored to your specific speech patterns and skill level 4. A pre-lesson overview of ‘Speech Sound Awareness’ and the ‘English Sound System’ to enhance your progress 5. A home program with exercises to practice on your own 6. Your own personalized file to access at any time with personal notes, your progress for each lesson, and a page for each of your target sounds (how-to diagrams, videos, audio clips, lists of common words with that sound, etc.) 7. Constant feedback and data collection so that we know exactly where you are on your goals and what the next steps are for each at all times. WHY CHOOSE ME? - I can teach you the science behind how each consonant and vowel sound is made using our airflow, voice, and mouth muscles, including: 1. How your airflow is used along with your vocal folds to produce sound 2. The 9 different places in the mouth where we shape that sound into speech, and 3. The 8 different ways we manipulate our airflow during speech to produce different consonant sounds - I am multilingual, and taught myself Spanish, French, American Sign Language, and some German as an adult, so I sympathize with my clients about learning a foreign language. My knowledge of the science and anatomy behind pronouncing sounds helped me learn these languages at an accelerated pace, and I enjoy sharing this skill with others - I have a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) and have been an SLP for over 20 years. This degree requires more than 4 years of in-depth linguistic, scientific, and medical-based training on helping individuals communicate more effectively - Grammar and vocabulary can be learned through self-study and online videos, but identifying and correcting pronunciation errors requires professional, live, individualized feedback from an expert in speech sound awareness - My clients live all over, including Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Spain, France, Belgium, China, Turkey, India, Belgium, Russia, Iran, Bulgaria, and Taiwan - I'm TEFL & TESOL certified - I can teach the International Phonetic Alphabet - You may verify my professional Speech Pathology Certification by entering my account #12042273 at this site: asha.org/certification Thank you!
