Work one-on-on with instructor Andrew Hinkle to speak clearly, effectively and naturally in a Canadian manner. After a detailed assessment of your accent, you and the instructor will set up a personal accent reduction program. Lessons may be in the areas of consonant and vowel sounds, rhythm, smooth speech (connected speech), intonation and voice quality.
Private coaching will allow you to have full individual attention, cover only points that need improvement, have more speaking opportunities, work at a faster or slower pace, practice only with a native English speaker, and receive constant feedback and evaluation.
