" Rachel's accent/pronunciation class was fantastic. It boosted my confidence, improved my listening and speaking skills, and made me more aware of my pronunciation. Now, people understand me better. I highly recommend her! "

" I've been working with Rachel for quite some time now and if I were to point out a single thing she's really good at, it's her ability to explain how sounds should be made: where to put your tongue, which lip position to make. If you feel like that's what you need, don't hesitate! But even aside from that you are getting everything you can expect from a top tier teacher she definitely is! "

" Rachel has an excellent attitude. The class is very dynamic, and her methodology is outstanding. She has a lot of experience in language teaching, and as a coach, I love the way she connects the anatomy of the mouth with the sounds, creating a deeper connection with the body when producing them. I really enjoy her class and her energy. "
Alejandra C.
Insurance Representative, Colombia
" I took classes with Rachel a couple of years ago. At that time, my English was very bad and I couldn’t speak or comprehend the language well enough to talk with native speakers. She was able to help me a lot with both my pronunciation and grammar. She explained it to me very well and she has a ton of patience. I would recommend Rachel to anyone trying to learn or to improve what you do know! "
