Meet your instructor - Jackie
My name is Jacquelyn, but everyone calls me by my nickname, Jackie. As an English as a Foreign Language instructor for over 30 years, I’ve helped thousands of students from various linguistic backgrounds in the USA and abroad to acquire the skills needed to successfully fulfill their goal of speaking clear, confident, and effective English.
I decided to focus on clear speech training because I noticed that many students, although they had achieved an intermediate to an advanced level in English, many still had trouble with the correct pronunciation of difficult words and sounds, or in clearly articulating their ideas. This was causing communication problems and preventing them from being understood. It was demotivating, making them shy to speak English, and causing them a lot of embarrassment.
I recognized that this was an area that is overlooked in English language courses. I wanted to fill that gap by helping these students to acquire the skills needed to successfully communicate in the English language. It is so rewarding when I see my students use their newly acquired skills to communicate comfortably in social situations, go on to study in English at universities worldwide, find a great job, or become successful in any area of their lives, where speaking confident, clear, and effective English is a strong asset.
The ability to speak English clearly and confidently is an attainable goal. Let me show you how to achieve it.
