Optional Peer Practice: Find a Practice Partner

You’ll have access to a Find a Practice Partner space inside the community, where instructors can connect to practice teaching, walk through session scripts, or focus on specific skills together.

This optional, self-managed space gives many instructors the confidence boost they need to move from learning the method to actually using it. Practicing in a low-pressure, peer setting can make it much easier to transition into real, paid work.

This is included with lifetime access at no extra cost.

Meet Your Instructor

Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP

I’m an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over 26 years of experience in accent and pronunciation training. Aside from a brief period early in my career working in early intervention, my professional life has been spent working full-time in this field, building and sustaining a private-pay practice focused on adult communication enhancement.

Through decades of hands-on work — including building one of the longest-running full-time private practices in this space — I’ve seen what actually works, what doesn’t, and where people tend to get stuck when they try to improve their speech or teach this work without clear guidance. That real-world experience shapes everything I do, from how accent training is structured to how instructors are trained to offer this work ethically, confidently, and effectively.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of speakers, including award-winning actors, models, voice-over artists, executives, lawyers, teachers, diplomats, and professional voice users from around the world. My work is centered on helping people refine their personal speaking style and feel more confident, clear, and comfortable in their speech.

My accent training career began in 2000, and in 2014 I launched my own private practice, offering one-on-one sessions and online programs for adult speakers. In 2019, I expanded this work by creating a certification program to train other teachers to become accent specialists — giving them the skills, structure, and support needed to work with their own students and build sustainable, ethical practices.
