Speak Clearly. Be Understood. Stay You.

What would it mean if people focused on your ideas—not your accent?
You’ve worked hard to get where you are. But in professional settings, communication challenges can still hold you back—not because of what you’re saying, but how it’s heard.

At SpeechScience, we help skilled professionals from around the world refine their spoken English—not to erase identity, but to ensure their voice is heard clearly, confidently, and without distraction.

Our 1 : 1 Accent Reduction Coaching is designed for individuals who want to speak more fluently in North American English, improve their career prospects, and feel fully comfortable contributing in any setting—from team meetings to client calls.

Here’s how it works:

  • We start with a detailed speech assessment and custom roadmap tailored to your native language
  • You receive personal coaching and evaluation in each session
  • You’ll use exclusive take-home materials (audio, video, and text) for continued practice
  • And we support your training with enhanced tools like the Computerized Speech Lab to accelerate progress

You will learn to:

  • Clearly pronounce North American English vowel and consonant sounds
  • Master the natural rhythm and flow of spoken English
  • Use tone and intonation to express emotion and meaning
  • Improve clarity, confidence, and fluency in high-stakes professional conversations
  • Reduce misunderstandings—and stop feeling the need to repeat yourself
  • Speak with authority, without losing your personality or cultural identity

You don’t need to sound like someone else to be understood—you just need to sound like your best, clearest self.

Accent Reduction FAQ:

Q: What’s the difference between accent reduction and accent modification?

Technically, they describe the same process, but Accent Modification is the preferred term in 2026 because it respects your identity.

“At SpeechScience, we believe your accent is part of your culture—and shows that you are bilingual, or even trilingual. Bravo! We don’t ‘reduce’ your identity; we make sure that people understand you perfectly the first time you speak. Think of it as adding a ‘professional touch’ to your speech—one that ensures that people can appreciate the full value of your ideas.”  — Bonnie Gross, Registered SLP & President of SpeechScience

A: While mastery is a journey, both our Toronto-based and virtual clients achieve measurable results within 3 to 12 weeks using our targeted practice methods. Most professionals report a noticeable boost in confidence and fewer requests to repeat themselves within the first 4 sessions. Unlike academic courses that can take 25+ weeks, our personalized 1:1 approach accelerates results through science-backed speech pathology techniques.

A: Absolutely not. In a global city like Toronto, an accent reflects international experience. We don’t aim for “perfection”; we aim for comprehensibility and confidence. Success means speaking with a flow and clarity that allows your listeners to engage with your expertise effortlessly. Your accent is part of your story—our job is to ensure it never overshadows your message.

A: Most online courses teach generalized techniques to large groups, often taking 25+ weeks with minimal personalized feedback. Our 1:1 accent reduction coaching provides customized training tailored to your native language, specific industry terminology, and career goals.

Expert Insight: As a Registered Speech-Language Pathologist with 25+ years experience coaching Fortune 500 executives, Bonnie identifies your unique speech patterns to create a targeted plan—delivering measurable results in 3-12 weeks, rather than months. Sessions are available in-person at our downtown Toronto office (First Canadian Place) or virtually worldwide.

A: Yes! Our Speech Therapy services are covered by most extended health insurance plans. We provide official receipts for reimbursement. We recommend contacting your benefits provider to confirm your specific coverage, as most executive plans include speech therapy services.
