My trial lessons
Trial is a consultation to see if we are a good match. It is a "meet and greet" to discuss student goals and my teaching strategy. I will give a general overview of your main weaknesses. NOTE: Trial lesson is not a regular class. Accent Reduction requires weekly classes, each week, for student progress.

Kristine is truly dedicated to the growth and success of her students, and her personalized approach ensures that each session is both meaningful and enjoyable. From our very first session, she demonstrated her ability to immediately identify the key areas where I needed improvement. With care and precision, she crafted a clear lesson plan tailored to my specific needs and my native language.
Her expertise in pronunciation training is truly remarkable. She not only identified my most significant challenges but also explained them in a way that was easy to understand and implement. I especially appreciate the creative metaphors she used during our lessons to help me understand American English sounds. Thanks to her targeted techniques, I’ve experienced significant improvements in my pronunciation, voice projection, and overall confidence when speaking!
