    Free Online Consultation

    Would you like to find out if you are a good candidate for our comprehensive assessment?

    Take a few minutes to complete this free screening with no obligation. Your speech sample will give us enough information to let you know whether your pronunciation is understandable already, you are a good candidate for an assessment, or you need to learn more English before scheduling an assessment. One of our coaches will email your screening results and answer any questions you ask about SpeechMod. You will need a microphone to complete the screening.

    Please follow the instructions below, and be sure to include any questions you have for us. We will have you read a passage and then complete a questionnaire.

    Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store:
    Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and
    maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake
    and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red
    bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
