Clarity Accent Reduction provides accent modification services in Boston, MA for individuals and corporations,  employing the renowned Compton P-ESL method.

Communicating effectively and being easily understood are essential, especially in today’s difficult economic climate.  Perhaps your foreign or regional accent is holding you back in interviews and keeping you from getting the job that you want.  Perhaps you sometimes have difficulty getting your point across with colleagues, friends, or even family.

If you speak English well, with an average to good command of grammar and vocabulary, but want to take that last step towards real ease with the language, accent reduction is the solution.

We pick up where English as a Second Language programs leave off.

In 13 weeks, the Compton Pronouncing English as a Second Language (P-ESL) program will:

  • Improve your American accent by at least 50-60% so you will be better understood
  • Improve your presentation skills
  • Increase your confidence in personal and professional settings.
