If you’re going to spend thousands of dollars visiting a foreign country to learn English,study pronunciation first when you arrive! Many students do this and are happy to practice correct pronunciation while they visit Canada. Some students come to me to fix their pronunciation at the end of their trip.

They have been in Canada for 6 months or a year at ESL school or working. Then they study with me and greatly improve not just pronunciation but all of their language skills.

But if they had come to LANS at the beginning of their trip they could have practiced correct pronunciation during their whole stay in Canada.

I am on a Working Holiday Visa in a Canadian coffee shop. After taking the LANS Pronunciation course, it has been easier to communicate in English than before. I can talk with customers more easily and now enjoy my work much more. I think the reason is because I have more confidence in my pronunciation.

I looked forward to taking your class all the time. Your teaching was efficient. Before taking your class, I had a lot of problems in speaking and I didn’t know how to pronounce every word. But I understand it now! Thank-you for being patient and I will never forget the great time I had taking the LANS Pronunciation Fluency class.

When I started working at a café in Toronto, I had difficulty with pronunciation so the customers couldn’t understand my English but soon after I started taking Sandra’s class, I didn’t need to repeat myself and customers told me my English improved a lot. I was surprised how quickly I improved! I strongly recommend taking the LANS Pronunciation course if you don’t have confidence with your pronunciation. I loved taking this class!

I was working in a Canadian hotel and after I took the LANS Pronunciation course my Canadian coworkers said my English improved a lot. Now I know how to correct my pronunciation by myself if I make a mistake!

I wanted to improve my English pronunciation as well as conversation. I tried some textbooks issued in Japan for English pronunciation. However, nothing worked for me...Since I have taken Sandra’s lesson, I have received a lot of compliments on my pronunciation. Her way of teaching was easy to understand for me and she told me how to work on it. She really knows Japanese students’ weak points and doesn’t give up until we get it. I learned not only pronunciation but also conversation and grammar. I needed someone to correct my errors in English which I am not aware of. After I came back to Japan, I tried to find someone like her, but I didn’t find the right person...I really recommend taking her lesson...She is also a kind of person who we can talk on many kinds of topic and a great person to be around too.

I am from Japan. I took Sandra’s class...I was very satisfied with her lessons. First, her pronunciation theory is original and accurate and her method worked effectively for me. For example, I discovered the difference between R and L which I hadn’t been able to distinguish since I came to Canada despite studying ESL at a language school. She showed me how to move my mouth and I could feel how English sounds work. Second, she has a strong ability with her ears. She could hear the pronunciation mistakes I made whenever I talked and she corrected me. I didn’t realize my mistake when I spoke, but after her explanation I understood everything... In addition, I like her personality. I hope you will also enjoy talking about movies and various topics with her.

Sandra helped me to fix my pronunciation and improve my speaking. Her explanations are always clear and easy to understand. After I studied with Sandra, I had confidence in my pronunciation and became able to speak more... I took an interpretation and translation course at one school after taking Sandra’s lesson. The contents and level of that course were quite difficult and high. If I hadn’t taken Sandra’s lesson, I couldn’t have kept up with that interpretation class.If you have a motivation in which you really want to improve your pronunciation...she absolutely will help you to improve them. She is a great teacher! I really appreciate her.
