Testimonials

Communicate Better with Patients and Colleagues
A medical professional was concerned about her ability to clearly communicate to her patients due to her accent. Although she learned English as a child in her country she was not confident in her spoken English skills. After completing a Speaking American English program she reported that she was able to use words she had been avoiding due to improved pronunciation skills, had greater success communicating with her patients and had a new confidence in her speaking capabilities.
“We engaged Marion as an ESL instructor to deliver customized on-site instruction to one of our corporate partners, as part of the “Corporate Connections” program here at Ursinus College. I found Marion to be extremely professional, organized and diligent in all aspects of the engagement. She helped to create a program that fit the needs of the client exactly, worked independently and creatively and in general represented Ursinus College extremely well. I would not hesitate to engage Marion again, as part of our outreach efforts.”Victor Brown, Director of Partner Programs, Ursinus College
