“This is exactly the course I was looking for when I first came to this country. I wish I could have taken it twenty years ago! I doubted that it would be possible to really change my accent after all these years but I did. I took other courses that didn’t help at all. With ENGLISH ONSITE I finally learned what I had to do to pronounce English correctly! My patients don’t ask me to repeat myself anymore. It only took a couple of months. Wendy came to my office once a week and was flexible with scheduling our meetings. The sessions were lively and fun. This was the most important English class I ever took. I told my orthodontist friend about this accent improvement course and he took it, too. I told Wendy that she is a great ‘Accentologist!’” (Dentist, North Reading, MA, from Iran) “Ronna’s English as a Second Language classes are wonderful. Every week we learn so many new things like new vocabulary, grammar, expressions, and ways to begin, continue, and end conversations. First we learn the new lessons and then we practice in short conversations. We even learned how to small talk. I always look forward to my Thursday English classes. We learn much information and laughing is always part of our class!” (Healthcare Worker, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, from Columbia) “ENGLISH ONSITE was a very helpful course and it has been a great pleasure to work with Wendy Wiberg who was extremely supportive offering suggestions and encouragement. What I liked most is her clear understanding of my cultural and communication issues. I truly appreciate her invaluable effort in the course. I am definitely better than before. During this course I found which letters/words need voice and which doesn’t. It also improved my voice projection and now I am able to communicate with great confidence.” (Software Engineer, Fidelity Investments, Boston, from India) “The Business Communication and Accent Improvement course that ENGLISH ONSITE taught at our company was excellent. Some of the topics that we asked them to cover included listening skills, giving presentations, vocabulary, idioms, conversation skills like politely interrupting and handling conflicts, and some writing skills such as for run-on sentences. We were from three different countries, but each of us had our own, individualized pronunciation program. Each week we had a group class followed by an individual session. We enjoyed the course and learned lots of practical information. Our pronunciations were much better at the end of the course. I highly recommend the training from ENGLISH ONSITE.” (Software Engineer, Fidelity Investments, from Russia) “My career depends on my ability to communicate. My Chinese accent was very strong before I took the pronunciation course from ENGLISH ONSITE. I had many sounds to work on and learned about three a week. I practiced medical terminology in particular. After about a month I began saying some of my corrected sounds automatically. It took three months to finish the course. At end of course I was saying most of English sounds correctly in my conversations. I still have Chinese accent, but much less and people understand me better. This was a very important course for me. The results were powerful. I also took a grammar course form ENGLISH ONSITE. Both courses were excellent. My schedule was highly irregular and ENGLISH ONSITE accommodated it and sometimes worked very late at night. I would not have been able to take the lessons if they had not come to the hospital. I recommend ENGLISH ONSITE courses to any foreign professional.” (Neurosurgeon, Boston, MA, from China) “Although English is a first language of mine, it is not my mother tongue so I spoke with a strong Indian accent. The accent improvement course taught me which sounds I was saying incorrectly, especially I figured how differently /v/ and /w/ should be pronounced. It also taught me which words I was pronouncing correctly yet saying with a different stress like in the word vehicle. My intonation also needed some attention. I was surprised how, once I knew which sounds needed to be fixed, I could easily correct them. Now I am much more aware and I believe that, although the course is finished, I will continue to make further improvements. On the initial evaluation, I had 53 accented sounds and on the final evaluation I had 10; this reflected an 81% improvement in my pronunciation. This is a great course for anyone who wants to improve their English Speaking skills to an excellent level.” (Senior Software Engineer, Burlington, MA, from India) “Thank you so much for everything! I am thrilled with the success of the course. Miguel is doing exceptionally well in his new role as Billing Representative. As you know, his new job requires him to be on the telephone 100% of the day. This course has truly been a tremendous help to him. I have not heard even 1 complaint from anyone (internal or external) on Miguel’s communication skills! And believe me, I would hear if there were a problem. This course gave Miguel so much confidence that he now handles difficult calls like a seasoned veteran. I’m extremely pleased. Given the success we’ve enjoyed, we may be doing it again with more employees. I’ll be certain to be in touch if and when the opportunity presents itself. Thank you again.” (Billing Department Manager, Safety Insurance, Boston, MA)
