For students wanting one-on-one, personalized attention, a flexible schedule or an accelerated class, private lessons are the best choice. One-to-one tutoring can take place at your home, your office, at a library, or at our learning center. 

Our instructors are able to customize the program to your needs. You may also choose a program tailored to your specific interest or professional discipline. Private study lessons are offered for:

- American Pronunciation & Accent Reduction Classes:
A strong foreign accent can prevent you from achieving your professional or personal goals and reaching your full potential.

Some people may need help communicating in business presentations and meetings. Other students simply want to stop old pronunciation habits, and avoid the need to repeat themselves in order to be understood.

After the first class with your private instructor, they will customize your lessons to include American pronunciation, listening, grammar and vocabulary instruction, public speaking and presentation skills, Business English conversation skills and more.

This class requires a minimum 12-hour commitment and can only be scheduled in a private setting.
