Kristine is very encouraging and helped me through the entire process step by step! She gives additional resources and feedback to me. I see an impactful change in a short time.

Recep, 36 lessons with Kristine

Kristine is great!

Kristine is a very knowledgeable accent reduction tutor. She is great! I am seeing a big difference in my accent. Also, I got a job offer after just two phone interviews, which usually was the most challenging part of the interview process due to my accent. Thank you, Kristine!

Maria, 19 lessons with Kristine

Great and Efficient Tutor

I am an advanced English language speaker, and i work with Kristine just to smooth out my accent and improve the sound of my English. Kristine has been working with me through an effective program. I have been able to train my vocal muscles into more easily pronouncing sounds that accentuate my pronounciation. It is important that one often practices the sounds what Kristine teaches during the lesson. After, so far, about 5-6 lessons + practice, I can already hear improvement in my speech. Thank you Kristine!

Anna, 21 lessons with Kristine
