You Already Have the Foundation. Let’s Turn It Into a Specialized Skill
You have the core skills. Now it’s time to take that existing speech and language expertise and apply it to a growing field where students are actively looking for support, and willing to invest in high-quality instruction.
Accent and pronunciation training is in demand, but getting started can feel overwhelming.
Maybe you're not sure how to structure a session, create a program, or choose the right materials. Maybe you worry you don’t know enough about different accents or dialects yet.
I get it.
When I started, I didn’t know much about accents either, but I still built a successful career helping students speak more clearly and confidently.
The truth is: you don’t need to be an expert in every accent to begin.
What you do need is a clear method, ready-to-use materials, and the confidence to get started.
That’s exactly what the Accent Specialist FOUNDATIONS™ Certification provides.
Designed for SLPs, ESL teachers, voice coaches, speech professionals, and even motivated language lovers exploring accent training for the first time, this self-paced program gives you the tools and training to:
- Coach students using a proven, step-by-step method
- Teach confidently, even if you’ve never worked with accents before
- Start seeing real results with real clients, quickly
Here’s How We’ll Get You There
1. Apply What You Already Know
You don't need another degree or years of extra training. We will build on your speech and language background and show your how to guide students through accent, pronunciation, and speech clarity training programs.
2. Build Specialized Skills
Get the practical knowledge you need to coach ESL or L2 professionals, performers, and international speakers. Learn how to handle common questions, provide helpful feedback, and deliver effective training sessions.
3. Set Up Your Teaching Foundation
Know exactly what to do (and what to skip) to start working with students quickly. Learn how to structure lessons, set goals, and create a positive learning experience from the start.
4. Use Our Done-for-You Curriculum
Save hours of prep time with a curated set of ready-to-use PDFs and audio lessons covering rhythm, intonation, connection, and every sound of American English. Use them in your sessions and share with your students for guided practice between meetings.  No more starting from scratch. Just download, teach, and go!
You’ll go from wondering “Can I really teach accents?” to having your student report back that their coworkers finally understood them clearly, the first time! (sometimes after just one session!)

Why I Created This Program + Why Now
We’re in a moment of big change. AI is shifting the way people learn and communicate. The job market is evolving. Even stable fields like education and speech-language pathology are transforming fast.
But within all this change lies enormous opportunity, especially for people like you.
You Already Have the Skills. Now It’s Time to Specialize.
If you’ve spent years working in speech, language, voice, or communication, you’re not starting from scratch. You already have a strong foundation.
What you might be missing isn't ability, it's a clear, proven method to apply those skills to a specialized area like accent and pronunciation training. This is a niche that our students are actively searching for and ready to invest in. That’s exactly what this certification is designed to provide.
This Program Helps You:
- Apply your existing expertise to a growing, high-value niche
- Deliver real results, even in your first session
- Work with motivated students who want structured, professional guidance
- Save time with proven lesson plans and practice materials
- Have the confidence to charge $100+ per session without second-guessing yourself
Why I Built It
I created this program because I’ve been where you are—interested in accent training, but unsure how to start. When I first began, I didn’t know much about accents either. But I learned, I built systems that worked, and I started helping students transform the way they speak.
Now, I’ve trained over 300 professionals to do the same.
And I want you to know: you don’t need to be an expert in every dialect.
You just need the right tools, structure, and support.
What I See Coming Next:
- Specialization will win: Students are looking for expert guidance, not generic ESL help or AI apps.
- Confidence will lead to better clients: When you believe in the value you offer, others do too.
- Structure will set you apart: Programs with real methods and clear outcomes rise above the noise.
- Authenticity matters more than marketing: You don’t need to be pushy. Your teaching style is your advantage.
You Don’t Need a Huge Audience. You Just Need a Place to Start.
This program gives you a step-by-step framework, done-for-you materials, and a simple way to get answers if you ever feel stuck.
You’ll walk away with:
- A method that’s been tested with real students
- Materials you can use right away with no guesswork required
- The confidence to begin without waiting for the day you feel “ready”
If you’re ready to stop trading time for low hourly rates...
If you’re ready to use your skills in a new way that helps others and supports your professional growth...
This is the place to start.
We’re Invested in Your Success
When you complete your certification, you’ll have the opportunity to be featured in our monthly Teacher Spotlight. This is a chance to showcase your work, build credibility, and inspire others in the community. Because when one of us grows, we all do.
A little about me:  I'm Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP, and I'm an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist.  I’ve been teaching accents, dialects, and pronunciation since 2000.Â
I started my own accent training business from scratch, with zero students, but turned it into a thriving business with a full-time caseload.
Since 2020, I've helped over 300 speech and language professionals launch successful accent training businesses. Many of these teachers were able to leave their full-time jobs for the more fulfilling career of working for themselves.
When you’re ready to take action, I’d love to welcome you into our program and help you start an exciting new chapter in your career.
