Pronunciation Training
I finally know how to improve my pronunciation, how to work with my tongue, and what kind of practice to do every day. Now I can hear myself when I speak correctly and when I speak incorrectly. Thank you for all that you did, not only for teaching but also for being such a nice trainer as well.
- Natalia Atapina, Brainhunter
I just want you to know how much I appreciate having had this training provided; your competency and professionalism combined with your patience and kindness just make up the perfect formula for an effective learning process.
- Anna Francesca, Private Student
I took the training because I knew that I needed to improve my English to further develop my career. The one-on-one training has been very helpful to correct my pronunciation. My colleagues now say I can speak very clearly. I know my weaknesses and how to improve them. Heather has become a kind of mentor for me now. Whenever I have any pronunciation problem, I always think about her first.
- Corporate Client, Brainhunter
After the training sessions, I had an interview with one of the Big 4 Accounting firms. I found I really benefited (from the training) because I found out where the problems were, and I performed well during the interview as I was very confident. Now I am with the firm I wanted to be with. So working with Heather has definitely been a great learning experience, and more than just learning how to speak.

Seminars
Very sensitive issue was presented factually and professionally.
- Vern Vautour, CBRC, SEA Professional Development Conference
I am very fortunate to attend this pronunciation class. Compared with other pronunciation classes I have attended, this one is especially designed for Chinese. The instructor demonstrates extensive experience with Chinese and knows exactly the common speaking challenges we face. My favourite part is the one-on-one correction, which tells you what problems you have with which sounds and shows you how to make them right. I highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to improve his/her English speaking skills.
