Accent Reduction

Tracey is a wonderful teacher who has been doing a great job helping me to improve my accent. She taught me how to coordinate my jaw, tongue and lips to produce the proper sounds. I feel very lucky to have learned from Tracey and recommend her without reservations to anyone looking for a fun, interesting, and effective class. I will miss our weekly meetings!
