I want to sound more American and eliminate as many qualities of my foreign accent as possible. Steve's teaching is very practical, and he's helped me achieve my goal. He has helped me in my effort to reduce my accent and improve my pronunciation a great deal. Additionally, Steve has taught me practice techniques so that I can work towards perfecting my skills on my own. I've learned that there are many subtleties to good English pronunciation and reducing a foreign accent, as well as permutations of these subtleties. Steve is a skilled and knowledgeable professional. I recommend Steve to those who want to improve their proficiency and communication skills in the English language. Harry Wu, Ph.D. IT Executive and Consultant
