Cross-Culture Communications

I was a little hesitant at first, but after meeting Susan for the first time, I had no doubt in my mind that I’m making the right decision. She is very professional and knowledgeable. In our first meeting she identified areas that I need improvements on. After Susan’s class, I became much more confident speaking publicly, and reduced my accent. I can definitely say that taking these classes was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Without the assistance of Susan Cooper, I would have not been able to finish my school application on time. Susan helped me with my graduate school essay by working with me to improve various aspects of my personal statement, such as emphasizing my strongest qualifications as a candidate. We worked via Skype and I was able to meet my application deadline. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time working with Susan and in the future will definitely seek Susan’s help in reducing my accent.

I am very happy with the progress I have made with Susan’s support. Now, I am much more conscious of my typical problems than I was before, and I can speak and write English much more accurately and with greater confidence. I only wish I could have begun working with her much earlier in my professional life. I have spent over 16 years working in international environments without even being aware of many of the problems with my English. None of my (native English speaking) colleagues or friends corrects me – they even say my English is very good. But the mistakes I’ve been making must be obvious to them! So I’ve been really needing someone to help me identify my errors. I would recommend Susan Cooper to those looking to improve their English regardless of their skill level.

I have had sessions in English communication skills with Susan Cooper both in person and by Skype video-​call. At first, I was hesitant about trying a video–
call session because I somehow thought that I could learn English more easily in person. The first time I had a Skype session, to my surprise I felt as though she and I were in the same room. How she teaches me in person and by video-​call isn’t much different. The concern I had about Skype video-​call sessions disappeared. I highly recommend Susan Cooper. Her deep knowledge has been helping me to enhance my ability to express myself in English, both in speaking and writing.

I don’t normally write a review but the services/​training that I’ve received from Cross-​Culture Communications (CCC) has been amazing. I just wanted to let Int’l English speakers out there know how Susan Cooper, Lead Coach /​Principal Consultant at CCC has helped me.
Perfecting English does not happen overnight. I realize I have a way to go. But with an expert like Susan Cooper, who provides practical, customized service, my sessions have been enjoyable and filled with many «A-​ha!» moments. In learning how to use the different tools she has introduced me to, I feel I will be increasingly better able to express myself in English in various circumstances, including professional meetings and presentations.
Since I often travel or am otherwise occupied due to business and cannot come to her office, Susan suggested that we connect via the convenience of Skype video-​call. Having Susan on my screen real-​time, I find our ‘distance’ sessions are absolutely as stimulating and interactive as in person, and are helping me further understand subtle differences in pronunciation and self-​expression that I’ve been struggling with.
My training with Susan is one of the best things to happen to me since I came to the U.S.
