Testimonials
BRUCE ZHIYONG LUI
I was educated in China and Switzerland and have been working in Toronto for several years.
My training with Heather Chetwynd was extremely successful. She identified issues with individual sounds, such as incorrect stress and rhythm. I gained the knowledge and skills needed to speak, what I call, authentic English. I became more confident and overcame many problems I had been experiencing in my professional life.
Heather’s unique training approach and ability with people make her absolutely the best choice for people who are not native speakers of English and wish to pursue a successful professional career in the English-speaking world.
WARREN LEE
Three years ago, a new supervisor complained about my English and insisted I make some improvements. In 2007, I began to study with Voice to Word Consulting.
Heather Chetwynd is a specialist in English pronunciation. She knows what your problems are and understands the cause.
Heather is a very patient teacher, always willing to listen to her students. She is conscientious and does not let you go until you can successfully pronounce the words or sentences.
I do not hesitate to recommend Heather as an English trainer, especially for anyone wishing to refine relatively advanced English skills and make significant improvements in a short time.
SHAWN JUNG
When I first met Heather, she recorded my speech and analyzed it. I was surprised when it turned out that I had many more problem than I had expected.
During the training, she professionally analyzed these issues, showed me how to correct them and gave me a variety of exercises. She emphasized clarity of speech and showed me how to present effectively.
After studying for three months with Heather, I saw noticeable improvements. Even close friends and family noticed the changes. I now speak much more clearly and have developed more confidence in my speech.
I highly recommend anyone who wants to improve the clarity of their speech take a course with Heather.
JENNY WONG
I knew I had an accent, but wasn't aware of what the problems were so I didn't have any idea how to correct them. It was very embarrassing when native speakers didn't understand my oral English. I just wanted people to understand me!
Heather caught my pronunciation problems very quickly and designed tailored exercises for me to help me master the keys to correct pronunciation
As the training proceeded, I noticed that my colleagues and friends rarely misunderstood me. I began to develop more confidence in my language skills and really enjoy communicating with native speak
I would highly recommend Voice to Word Consulting to anyone who is serious about improving their English communication skills. It is definitely worth the price because, when we invest our time and money, we want good quality and a real return.
