Their First Step Was a Free Consultation

All my clients began with a simple, no-pressure consultation — just like the one you’re considering now.

Here’s what they had to say after taking that first step:

“The classes are very valuable. Darren is professional, a specialist in the American accent. His work is based on scientific knowledge and great experience with students from different cultures. I recommend Packard Communications for every non-native English speaker who needs to improve their accent and pronunciation.”

“It was a fantastic opportunity to work with Darren on improving my pronunciation. As speech pathologist Darren can explain exactly what a person needs to do to make a sound correctly, improve melody and pitch in conversations. Besides, over years of doing this, Darren has established a well-structured course, which he supplements with extra materials (video, audio, and reading). I recommend Darren to anyone looking to *improve their American English pronunciation.”
