“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.”
