Working with Brian, by far, has been one of the best investments I've made in my life. In just three months, I've noticed a significant improvement in my speech and articulation. Brian is not only an expert in speech but a meticulous coach. Thanks to Brian's coaching, I feel extremely confident speaking in any setting.
Brian is a great teacher and superb storyteller. He'll point out issues with your pronunciation you weren't even aware of, and he does so in a friendly and patient manner, before teaching you how to pronounce it correctly. I started my lessons with Brian meeting him face-to-face but soon moved online. It has been a very smooth transition and receiving lessons online works just as well as sitting together, provided you have a halfway decent headset. And as an added benefit you save the commute. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Brians services if you want to learn Standard American English pronunciation and vocabulary.
I worked with Brian for more than two years on a weekly basis. I would have continued to work with him if my firm didn't move out of midtown. Brian has a well organized framework to coach people who speak English as the second language like myself. In our first session, he did a diagnostic test, identified my weaknesses and came up with a detailed study plan customized toward my needs. People around me have noticed the improvement in my speech. I'm getting comfortable with speaking up and presenting in client meetings. On top of his excellence and dedication in speech, Brian is a great person, and a genuine friend. I absolutely enjoyed working and even simply chatting with him about American history, English literature, classic music and life.
Brian is a very professional and enthusiastic speech trainer. He CARES about you. English is not my mother language and I was struggling to communicate with my colleagues, until I walked into his office in 2017. After a year of training with Brian, my speech is improved significantly and I am more confident in public speaking. I highly recommend you to visit Brian if speech/accent is your concern.
I have been working with Brian for about three months now and every time I leave the class very motivated and feeling I've learned so much in the past hour. He is not only a very dedicated and professional coach but his sessions are very enjoyable. He easily identifies the major issues with your speech and works intensely with you to correct them. Highly recommended!
I was born and raised in France, and learned English as a second language. Since I moved to New York, my accent has greatly improved, but I’m looking to sound as “Standard American” as possible. Whenever I ask friends what they think of my American accent, they tell me that something is slightly off, but they are unable to explain it clearly. I reached out to Brian and got exactly what I was looking for! Following the first session, Brian will give you a list of “problems”, specific sounds or areas that you need to work on to achieve your goal you have to lower your tongue, open/close your mouth, change the pitch, etc…. You will get a battery of exercises and tips targeting specific particularities. It takes work and discipline, but you will get all the resources you need.
You will become aware of your speech and what you need to work on. He will focus on sounds, intonation, and will help you lose your inhibitions to improve your communication skills. I am looking forward to working with Brian again!
