Accent Reduction is a Critical Tool
Speakers of English as a Second or other Language are not taught how changing pronunciation, intonation, and speaking rate more effectively communicates information content and positively affects the exchange of information and the natural flow of conversation. It is CRITICAL to learn these skills not only to skyrocket communication confidence but also to connect socially and emotionally for building TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS, not to mention professional success.

“Cher is a very gifted and dedicated therapist. Working with her improved my accent, but more importantly, my understanding of some aspects of English language that are hard to comprehend by someone who has it as a second language. Cher is exceptionally talented in guiding you through some subtle differences in pronunciation that make a huge difference. She has a very clear way of pointing out examples that are tremendously helpful. I would recommend Cher to any professional looking for accent modification. “
