Adastra Speech

I had individual sessions with her for two and half months (Dec 2015-​Feb 2016). I wanted to improve my accents and speech style for upcoming job interviews. Starting from diagnostic on my speech style, we had individual sessions based on her diagnostic and my goal.
I knew some of the issues in my speech style. And I was able to improve these issues based on self-​teaching and trial-​and-​error. However, it was time-​consuming, and I wasn’t sure whether I was heading in the right direction.
She was very precise pointing out the problems that I had for many years in casual conversation and public speech. Her diagnosis, based on her speech pathology study, was very meticulous and was connected to the better solutions than I had.
All the individual sessions were customized to tackle these issues one by one. Every class had the primary objective, derived from the diagnosis. Her materials focused on the topic that I needed most. She repeated the point until I truly understood. We did not waste time on something I am already good at. There was homework, and she gave me very helpful feedback.
Within a couple of sessions, people around me started to notice some positive changes. When I compared the recordings of my voice before and after the sessions, I could clearly hear the changes she made. Now I feel much confident that before.
After we had finished all sessions, she gave me a direction to improve my speech style based on the things I learned from the class. She was very generous with sharing all the important secrets /​resources during and after the class. She not only gave me valuable feedback on my speech but also taught me how to improve myself. I think this is important because I should be on my own anyway.
I strongly recommend her. My speech is definitely improved, and I learned how to improve my speech. Grab her when she is available.

I am lucky enough to have Christi as my accent modification coach. She is very professional, experienced, and patient. My overall intonation has been improved a lot and my some of my specific accent sounds have been decreased as well. She also helps me with my presentation skills, my body language, and most importantly, she helps me with my confidence of speaking English in both of academic and professional environment. I highly recommend her!
