Meet Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP, the creator of The Speech Coach Collective.

I'm an ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over two decades of experience specializing in accents, dialects, and pronunciation. I've had the pleasure of working with some truly amazing speakers! From award-winning actors and models to executives, lawyers, diplomats, and professional voice users – you name it, I've seen it all.

In 2014, I started my own accent training private practice from scratch.  This firsthand experience has given me valuable insights into the excitement and challenges of building a business in this exciting field.

I'm not only dedicated to working with students; I also train teachers to master accents and pronunciation. By empowering teachers with these skills, they can build their own speech coaching businesses or side hustles, transforming the lives of their own students. I firmly believe that there are countless individuals out there seeking dedicated accent instructors to overcome communication obstacles that hinder their professional growth, self-esteem, and social interactions.

If you’re a teacher looking to build a business and make a difference in the lives of your own students, I'm here to support you every step of the way.  I'm excited to share every bit of my extensive experience with you inside the SCC.

Join us now and unlock a wealth of knowledge, inspiration, and resources to empower your students to communicate more effectively, one word at a time.
