“As a leader of a team where I was the only professional with English as my first and only language, SPEAKBEST LLC Founder and Principal Nancy Morgenstern is a wonderful asset and coach. She assisted five team members with accent modification and grammar allowing each to perfect their English language acumen. Her structured, cost-effective program was customized to the needs of each individual thus maximizing their time and providing the best platform for success. Of particular note is her work with three individuals that led to their eventual promotions at locations throughout North America. I would highly recommend Nancy and SPEAKBEST for anyone seeking to improve their command of the English language.”

"As a foreign born Asian American executive with a Fortune 500 company who came to the U.S. in her late 20s, one of the greatest challenges as well as success factors, is effective communication—as I believe “Clear communication means business”. SPEAKBEST LLC Founder and Principal Nancy Morgenstern has helped me improve my communication skills through tailored coaching programs that included assessment, accent reduction sessions (pronunciation and intonation) and presentation skills. Nancy is not only a true expert but also an outstanding and passionate teacher. With Nancy’s help, my self-confidence level was also enhanced. The self-practice program she designed for me also allows me to continue to improve on my own time. I’d highly recommend that companies and individual executives who view effective communication as a critical success factor for your business growth and career advancement consider using SPEAKBEST LLC and Nancy as your coach."

“Nancy, You have been extraordinary in your commitment to coaching me. As I had informed you, I feel your coaching method, style and insights have been very helpful to me. In fact, yesterday my admin complimented me on a presentation I delivered to our group. She informed me that I had slowed down considerably. My usual tendency for my mind to race faster than my speech was not evident. Also, all of my sentences were completed. As you are aware, my admin was someone who I enlisted to support me. She was quite surprised that she noticed the improvement in my speech so soon after the coaching program had been completed. So it looks like I’m already carrying over from your coaching program in my work life. Thanks again.”

"Being from Brazil, I have had to struggle with my accent, paying special attention when I teach medical students. I was particularly impressed with your tips and practical training on voice projection, relaxation techniques and performance. They really made a great difference in my ability to present and be well accepted".

"Your class at UCONN/West Hartford branch helped me greatly to develop my pronunciation and intonation skills in my work...

"Here at our Fleet Remittance Processing Operation we have used Nancy Morgenstern, Principal of SPEAKBEST as an instructor for our P-ESL Accent Reduction classes. In addition she has tutored a manager struggling with accent modification. I found Nancy to be very professional in her approach, yet at the same time she is personable, caring and takes great interest in the growth of each participant in the classes. Nancy keeps the class interesting and still manages to get excellent results. It is my pleasure to recommend her to any business that may benefit from her services."
