Two Ways to Complete GlobalVoice™
Self-Paced and Mentorship Certification Tracks
GlobalVoice™ offers two ways to complete the program, depending on how much guidance, feedback, and live support you'd like as you build, launch, and grow your services.

Know What to Teach—Even If You Don't Speak Your Student's Native Language
One of the biggest concerns new instructors have is:
"How can I teach someone if I don't speak their language?"
GlobalVoice includes a growing library of Language-Specific Assessment & Teaching Frameworks designed to help you confidently assess speech, identify high-impact targets, and create structured programs for a wide variety of language backgrounds.
Rather than guessing what to teach next, you'll have a clear framework that helps you:
- Know what to listen for in real speech
- Identify the speech patterns that matter most
- Prioritize high-impact teaching targets
- Build a logical teaching progression
- Turn assessments into structured coaching programs
The program currently includes approximately 15 language-specific frameworks, with additional frameworks added as the program continues to grow.
Whether you're working with a Spanish-speaking executive, a Mandarin-speaking engineer, a Russian-speaking actor, or another multilingual professional, you'll have a practical system to guide your assessment, planning, and teaching decisions.
You'll never have to wonder, "What do I teach next?"
Lifetime Access to the Instructor Resource Library
Your Complete Teaching System
Every GlobalVoice™ instructor receives lifetime access to the Instructor Resource Library—a growing collection of ready-to-use teaching materials designed to save you time and simplify session planning.
This library is a core part of the GlobalVoice™ system for accent training and professional communication coaching, guiding you step-by-step through what to teach and how to teach it, so you can deliver effective, professional coaching programs.
Rather than creating materials from scratch, you'll have a comprehensive library of resources to support every stage of the teaching process.
Throughout the library, you'll find recommended follow-up lessons and related resources, making it easy to reinforce skills, plan your next session, and build connected, well-structured programs without having to create everything from scratch.
The library includes:
- 400+ downloadable PDFs and audio lessons
- Activities, scripts, and student homework materials
- Session planning guides and teaching frameworks
- Assessment and program planning resources
- Video tutorials with implementation guidance
- Teaching notes and instructional insights
- Structured program progression outlines
- Slide decks and scripts
- Comprehensive training for every sound of English + rhythm, stress, intonation, connection and more
- Voice improvement resources
- Professional speaking and communication skills modules
- Workplace and corporate communication topics
- Common student challenges with practical solutions
- Hours of guided video exercises
It doesn't matter if you're planning your first session or your fiftieth! You'll always have ready-to-use lessons, activities, and teaching resources to keep your sessions engaging, organized, and focused on real progress.
During sessions, you can share your screen, review materials together, and assign targeted homework without creating custom assignments.
Resources can be downloaded and shared digitally, printed for in-person sessions, or worked through together in real time when teaching online. Downloadable materials are yours to save, print, and share with your students.
Whether you teach online or in person, you'll have practical resources ready to use with your students—saving preparation time while helping you deliver consistent, high-quality instruction.
New materials are added as the program evolves. As the library continues to refine and expand, your access remains active.
Student Practice Portal
A Client-Facing Practice System
The Student Practice Portal is the companion practice system to the Instructor Resource Library. It's designed to reinforce what students have learned, so they can practice independently between instructor touchpoints.
The Portal makes it easy to assign meaningful, targeted practice, create a polished client experience, and develop more flexible or asynchronous services that require fewer live coaching hours.
GlobalVoice Self-Paced
After certification, Student Practice Portal access is available for purchase on a per-student basis. This gives you the flexibility to add Portal access when it makes sense for a specific student, package, or service.
GlobalVoice Mentorship
During your 12-month Mentorship experience, you'll have Student Practice Portal access for up to 25 new students per month at no additional charge.
You can request 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months of access for each student, giving you the flexibility to build the Portal into different coaching packages and services.
After Mentorship
If you choose to continue your professional development through the Speech Coach Collective, Student Practice Portal access remains included as part of your SCC membership.
Active SCC members can continue requesting Portal access for up to 25 new students per month, with 1-, 3-, or 6-month access options for each student.
Continuing into SCC after your 12-month Mentorship experience is completely optional.
Learn from a Professional Who's Done the Work
GlobalVoice™ was developed by Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP, founder of The Accent Channel and an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 26 years of specialized experience in accent modification, speech improvement, voice, and professional communication.
Before launching her own private practice, Jessica trained alongside some of New York City's leading speech and voice professionals, working with actors, executives, educators, international professionals, and other high-level communicators.
Every framework, teaching system, student-facing resource, and business strategy inside GlobalVoice has been developed, tested, and refined through decades of real client work—not theory alone.
Today, more than 350 instructors in over 15 countries have used the GlobalVoice system to launch and grow specialized speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching services of their own.

Why Professionals Seek Accent & Communication Coaching
As careers grow, communication demands often grow too.
Many professionals may seek support to communicate more clearly, speak with greater confidence, prepare for new opportunities, or strengthen their overall communication skills.
For some, that means accent modification. For others, it may include voice improvement, presentation skills, executive communication, or preparing for new professional opportunities.
They may be looking to:
- Improve speech clarity and pronunciation
- Speak more confidently in meetings and presentations
- Strengthen executive presence
- Prepare for interviews or leadership roles
- Communicate more effectively with colleagues, clients, or audiences
GlobalVoice prepares you to help students across this full range of communication goals, giving you the skills to expand your services as your own experience grows.
Build Professional Services—Not Tutoring Sessions
One of the biggest mindset shifts in GlobalVoice is seeing speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching as specialized professional services rather than tutoring.
When these services are built around structured programs, clear outcomes, and an exceptional client experience, they can be positioned and priced very differently from traditional tutoring or isolated sessions.
Throughout GlobalVoice, you'll learn how experienced professionals:
-
Design structured coaching programs
-
Conduct consultations
-
Communicate the value of their services
-
Guide students from the first consultation through the final session and beyond
-
Build long-term professional relationships
The goal isn't simply to charge more. It's to deliver specialized services that create meaningful results and are priced and positioned accordingly.
What Professional Services Can Look Like
Every instructor's journey is different, and pricing varies based on experience, specialty, location, and the clients you serve.
Many instructors begin in the $100–$150 per session range when offering structured coaching programs with clearly defined goals. As experience grows, some professionals, particularly those working with executives, corporate clients, and highly specialized audiences, may charge $200–$250+ per session or package their services into premium multi-session programs.
Beyond Hourly Coaching
Your services also don't have to be tied entirely to the number of live coaching hours you can fit into your schedule.
GlobalVoice teaches you how to use structured learning materials, independent practice, and personalized feedback to create flexible service models, including asynchronous and hybrid coaching programs that require fewer live sessions.
For SLPs, teachers, and other professionals who are accustomed to being paid directly for each hour they work, this can open the door to a very different way of structuring your services.
You can still provide individualized professional guidance while allowing some of the learning and practice to happen independently.
These examples are provided for illustration only. Results vary based on experience, implementation, market conditions, pricing, and individual circumstances.

Is GlobalVoice™ Right for You?
GlobalVoice™ is designed for professionals who want a structured, practical pathway into speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching.
Whether you're building on your current experience or developing a new specialty, you'll learn how to deliver professional services using a clear, proven system.
This program is a great fit if you are...
✔️ A Speech-Language Pathologist looking to expand into accent modification and communication coaching for international professionals, executives, and other communication-focused clients.
✔️ An ESL or language instructor ready to move beyond general language teaching and specialize in pronunciation, speech clarity, and professional communication.
✔️ A voice coach, acting coach, or performance professional who wants to expand into speech, accent, and communication coaching.
✔️ A corporate trainer, educator, or communication professional who wants to offer structured communication coaching services.
✔️ Someone exploring a new professional direction and looking for a clear, step-by-step system without having to figure everything out alone.
You don't need to be an expert in every accent before you begin.
You need a structured system, practical training, and a willingness to put what you learn into practice.
More than 350 instructors in over 15 countries have used the GlobalVoice™ system to launch and grow specialized speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching services.
If you're ready to build real expertise and help others communicate more effectively, you're in the right place.
This Program May Not Be the Right Fit If...
✖️ You're looking for theory, research, and statistics instead of a practical system you can immediately put into practice.
✖️ You're looking for a program focused primarily on documentation and clinical data collection instead of practical frameworks for assessing, teaching, and running a communication coaching practice.
✖️ You believe there's only one "correct" way to speak English, rather than recognizing that communication goals are personal and should be guided by each student's needs, preferences, and professional goals.
Ethical, Confidence-Centered Coaching
Helping someone communicate more clearly should never mean changing who they are.
Throughout GlobalVoice, you'll learn an ethical, confidence-centered approach that helps clients communicate with greater clarity while respecting their identity, experiences, and personal communication goals.
You'll learn how to:
- Support growth without overcorrecting
- Build confidence alongside communication skills
- Help clients sound more like themselves—not someone else
- Create a positive, encouraging coaching experience
Communication coaching isn't about eliminating an accent.
It's about helping people communicate more effectively, participate in life more fully, and express themselves with greater ease.
That philosophy is woven into every assessment, lesson, feedback conversation, and coaching decision throughout the program.
Accent Specialist Training:Â 1.0 ASHA CEUs.

Meet Your Instructor:Â Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP
I'm an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 26 years of experience specializing in accent modification, speech improvement, voice, and professional communication coaching.
Aside from a brief period early in my career working in early intervention, I've spent most of my career working exclusively with adults, building one of the longest-running private practices in this specialty area.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of speakers, including A-list actors, models, voice-over artists, executives, lawyers, teachers, diplomats, media professionals, and other high-level professional voice users from around the world.
Before launching my own practice in 2014, I trained alongside some of New York City's leading speech and voice professionals, providing specialized speech and voice services to performers, professionals, and global speakers.
Everything inside GlobalVoice™ is based on systems I've developed, tested, and refined through decades of real client work—from assessment and teaching frameworks to business systems and professional service delivery.
In 2019, I created the GlobalVoice™ certification program to help other professionals confidently build specialized speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching services using the same practical systems I've relied on throughout my own career.
Today, more than 350 instructors in over 15 countries have used these frameworks to launch and grow their own services.
If you have questions about the program, I'd love to help. Feel free to reach out at [email protected].
