Private Mentoring

To Achieve Communication Success, ClearlySpeaking will be Your Mentor
Every Step of the Way

ClearlySpeaking developed the Private Online Mentoring Program (one-on-one speech coaching) when it became clear that many students struggled to do a self-study program independently. Some participants missed getting feedback (to make sure they are practicing correctly) and others told us that having someone keep them accountable to practice was essential to their success.

The key to success of ClearlySpeaking’s Private Online Mentoring Program is not just recognizing a communication problem, but also understanding how difficult it is to train habits and a willingness to do the work it takes to make changes. Having a mentor to keep you accountable for practice and provide feedback is an excellent way to stay on track with your goal of being better understood.

Here is what others are saying:

“I have consulted Lynda Waltner Stucky to soften my Spanish accent. She was extremely helpful at evaluating, counseling, and providing sources to aid me in the process. Lynda was able to identify all my speech mispronunciations and omissions. I would gladly recommend Lynda to assist you to improve your speaking capabilities.” –Gloria Lilian Minner

“Hi Lynda, thanks for your comments in this last call. Your tips and hints have been really useful!” –Felipe Aquino

“I am a much better communicator in many areas of work. From giving presentations to talking to colleagues, I feel much more confident and articulate about my speaking skills. Lynda gave me the necessary feedback to improve my skills and encouraged me to continue developing. I would recommend this coaching for anyone who wants to speak more clearly at work!” –Andreas Beier

“I really appreciate the way in which you helped us finding syllables, second word stresses and stress in sentences. I also thank you for encouraging us to practice and providing various informative web site links to improve our accent abilities and self-confidence. I especially liked the archived videos where we could go back conveniently and listen to our self and have a feel about our accent and compare our self if there is any improvement from day 1 to last.” –Khaleel Khaja

Is the Private Online Mentoring Program Right for You?

This is not a “speak-like-an American-quick program.”  Instead, we’ll help you focus on a few skills to master at a time to make yourself better understood.  We will teach you techniques to help you solve your intelligibility issues.  If you have a strong grasp of the English language but continue to be difficult to understand, mentoring is a great option for you!

You’re a great fit for this program if you…

Need access over time to a credible source who cares about your success.

Aren’t afraid of hard work and can devote time to practice daily.

Look forward to being challenged and pushed beyond what you thought you were capable of doing.

Accept constructive feedback well.

Understand the value of being in a program that helps you speak more clearly.

Want to turn work into a fun learning experience.

Prerequisite

Before beginning the program, you must read and sign the mentoring program contract. It requires a commitment to practice daily for at least 15 minutes. It also explores your reasons of wanting to make changes in your speech, and what the program is “not.”  It helps you set your goals for your speech.  It is available to you in the private area.

How many people are in the Private Online Mentoring Program?

We accept only as many as we can comfortably handle — and only those who we are convinced will do the hard work necessary to achieve success. If, during the initial evaluation, we don’t think you are a good match with the program, we will refund your tuition.

Program Cost

Regular tuition for private one-on-one coaching is $1,995   (But if you are enrolled in a course, you pay:  $597.)    Think of how much you can accomplish with unlimited email support and free attendance to webinars, plus eight sessions of one-on-one mentoring.

Private Coaching (Pay-by-the-hour)

Are you concerned about a small problem achieving one or two sounds? Are you struggling with American intonation? Maybe you want advise on a presentation that you’ll be giving and maybe you don’t quite need the full coaching program. If you like having one-on-one attention from an experienced speech trainer who can help you along with a customized plan that is made just for you, then, consult by the hour.

Most people who consult privately by-the-hour do it for two reasons:

1. They don’t want to pay for something they don’t need. They are seeking short term advice.

2. They want the customized training that addresses very specific communication issues and having a coach to keep them accountable, is important.

Either way, ClearlySpeaking can help you with that! How does it work?

1. If you are a member, log on with your user  name and password and go to online store to purchase. 

2. Not a member yet?  Pay by the hour.  Only $200/hour.

We’ll set up a mutually convenient time to meet on line. You can use your telephone to call in or if you have speakers and a mic, we will meet in my virtual office.

So, go ahead! What’s stopping you? Send me an email today! Let’s get the process started.
