If you would like my feedback or to work with me 1-on-1 for individual training, there are several options; scroll down to see all options.

For 1-ON-1 TRAINING:

Please Note:  For 1-on-1 training, Rachel is not taking on new students at the moment.  Please email to be put on the waiting list.  She is still accepting accent evaluations.

These lessons are administered through Skype. Take just two lessons, to evaluate your accent in person, or make it a series of lessons to drill certain aspects (problem sounds, rhythm and stress, etc) or to check-in on your progress on occasion. All lessons are 45 minutes and cost $60.  I spend at least another half hour preparing for your lesson; lessons are tailored to each individual's needs, as are the follow up exercises.  I invite you set up a time to meet with me on Skype at no charge: just a quick meet, 5 minutes or so to get to know me and for me to get to know you, to help you decide if you would like to have lessons.  **Please note:  first-time students must sign up for 2 lessons initially.  Thereafter they can be scheduled one at a time.

For EVALUATION:

1) IN-DEPTH EVALUATION, video response: Send a video or audio clip and get a video response. The evaluation, in addition to explanation, will incorporate the video that you sent to help you better understand your mistakes. Your video might be edited to play short clips repeatedly to help you isolate a sound, it might show your mouth up close, or in slow motion, along with commentary to help you understand changes to make. The response might also include some work with speech-analyzing software.

Price: $300 for my standard text (see below) or for your own text up to 2 minutes.

Example of an in-depth evaluation:

2) IN-DEPTH EVALUATION, Skype response: Send a video or audio clip for evaluation.  Rather than getting a video in response that outlines your pronunciation mistakes, sign up for a 45-minute Skype lesson where we will discuss your issues and I can coach you.

Price: $200 for my standard text (see below) or for your own text up to 2 minutes.

3) BASIC EVALUATION, video response: Send a video or audio clip and get a video response, outlining a few general and specific issues. Not as detailed as the in-depth evaluation.

Price: $100 for my standard text (see below) or for your own text up to 90 seconds.

4)  Quick Evaluation:  This service has been discontinued. 

Standard Text for Accent Evaluation:

Mary is thirty-one years old. She lives in New York City, where she has lived for 18 months. She got her degree in Fine Arts and now works as a consultant for a marketing firm. She loves Manhattan and all it has to offer. So do her friends, who visit her often. When she has guests in town and it's warm, she might take them to Central Park or to walk over the East River, on the Brooklyn Bridge in the evening. Some of her guests like to shop at the famous stores, like the toy store FAO Schwartz. A few want to see the old churches. It is a pleasure for her to show them the town.

New York is well known for its restaurants. One of Mary's favorite places is a Bar-B-Q joint, Blue Smoke. Her friend James is a waiter there. Sometimes she'll go for brunch because it's fairly cheap.
