Personal Assessments by Email (included in Plan 2)
Twice a month you can email me an audio file of yourself reading your company speech or reading your homework or whatever you choose. I will listen to it and send you feedback and suggestions on what needs to be improved in a personal video I send to you via Google Drive or WeTransfer. Don't worry, I DO NOT NEED TO SEE YOUR FACE to assess you. I have been doing this over 20 years and I can hear the problems and I know how to fix them. I have professionals who choose Plan 2 because they don't have much time and they want personal, monthly feedback on their speech preparation and speaking. Plan 2 is flexible: you can select 2 feedback videos OR ...1 feedback video plus 1 One-on-One private Zoom class.
Coaching Calls are included in all 3 Plans (Maximum 5 students/Zoom session)
You can connect with Sandra, live, on a Coaching Call on Zoom, 8 times a month and ask questions! Each Coaching Call will be one hour. You can see on the schedule, inside the course when those calls will be. There will be at least 8 Zoom Calls every month so you can choose when you are available. You will see me and hear me. You can stay private and nobody will see or hear you, or you can volunteer to turn on your microphone and talk with me. It is your choice. I don't need to see you to correct you. I just need to hear you. Over 20 years experience has given me this skill. Everyone can participate in the chat box with any questions they may have.
In Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other countries in Eastern time zones, Zoom Coaching Calls will be in the late evenings during the week and Saturday and Sunday mornings.
In Western time zones like the USA and Canada, Zoom Calls will be weekday evenings and Saturday or Sunday afternoons.

"I’m a Registered Nurse in Japan, and I’ve lived in Canada for 3 and half years. Since I took Sandra’s lesson, I have confidence speaking English. Before, I used to shy away from speaking with people but now I’m not afraid to talk to people.... She taught me a totally different tongue and lip movement than what I learned in Japan. Her techniques show us how to easily pronounce English correctly."
Yukari S, Registered Nurse
"I was awakened to the truth at my first lesson, I had a lot of misunderstandings about English pronunciation, even though I had learned English for 25 years in Japan. LANS lessons present us our common weak points and provide proper solutions … This is an important point for a busy business person. My English pronunciation was dramatically improved in a short period of time, I strongly recommend taking her lesson." 09/2014
Dr. Hideki T, Cardiac Surgeon, Research Fellow, Sunnybrook Health Science Center, Toronto, Canada
"Before I started the LANS course, some clients did not understand what I was saying because of my Japanese accent. Some of them even requested transferring the call to another representative who spoke better English. After several lessons with you, I noticed that phone calls with clients became much easier and less stressful. People stopped complaining about my accent. I strongly recommend the LANS Pronunciation Course for anyone who wishes to improve his/her English speaking skills." 05/2014

What are you losing if you don't fix your pronunciation?
Without clear pronunciation, you will have to give up on your dream to speak English clearly.
You might not get that promotion you want.
Without clear pronunciation, you may lose opportunities in business and travel.
You will not become the great presenter in English at conferences that you could be, if you don't correct your pronunciation.
English speakers will not understand you the way you had dreamed of, or need to be.
People won’t understand you 100% of the time…maybe 20 to 65% of the time, depending on your level.
Why did your previous attempts to correct your pronunciation not give you the results you wanted?
Expecting ESL teachers to correct your pronunciation is a mistake! They don’t specialize in pronunciation. They don’t know the weaknesses. They don’t know how to correct the tongue position. They don’t have a method, and they don’t have a program to fix pronunciation. Many students come to me after ESL school or even after other pronunciation programs that didn’t help them fix their pronunciation, but they succeed with the LANS Method!
Studying incorrect and confusing information to solve your pronunciation problem is a mistake. It’s not your fault, but there is a lot of incorrect and confusing information out there.
Not knowing you have a pronunciation problem until you start working in English or traveling, To be understood, you need to study pronunciation as well as grammar and vocabulary, etc.
Mistakes that waste Time and Money
Spending big money on ESL school and expecting to fix your pronunciation is a mistake and waste of money.
Not investing in a good, qualified, proven pronunciation program or coach is a mistake.
Saying you cannot improve is not true. Yes, you can! I have proof!
Thinking your pronunciation is fine: underestimating the degree to which you are not understood is a waste of precious time. You don’t realize the opportunities you are missing in work and travel.
The LANS Method will give you the Correct Technique so you can:
Be CONFIDENT when you speak English.
Achieve your travel and CAREER GOALS.
Improve your LISTENING SKILL.
Give AWESOME PRESENTATIONS in English.
Succeed in English JOB INTERVIEWS.
Get a high IELTS or TOEFL score.
Achieve your English speaking potential and dreams!
Learn with Sandra and finally achieve clear English Pronunciation.
Plus, there is a 90-Day-No-Questions-Asked-Money-Back GUARANTEE!
AI Powered Pronunciation check
I believe AI pronunciation tools can be very helpful in improving your English pronunciation and fluency. They allow you to check how you pronounce English words, identify areas that need improvement, and become more aware of how you speak.
That’s why I’ve included access to BoldVoice, an AI-powered voice coaching app that gives you an additional way to check your pronunciation when you’re learning independently.
The LANS program offers several ways to help you improve your English:
- LANS Online Training Videos: Learn at your own pace and on your own schedule. The videos teach you how to pronounce American English sounds, where to position your tongue, how to move your mouth, and how to develop clearer pronunciation, fluency, and intonation.
- LANS Practice Videos: Use the LANS app on your phone to access practice videos with Sandra and work on the sounds and skills taught in your training.
- Live One-on-One Zoom Lessons: Work directly with Sandra to focus on your individual needs, address your pronunciation and fluency weaknesses, ask questions, and clarify anything you find challenging.
- BoldVoice AI Pronunciation App: Check your pronunciation independently and identify areas you may need to work on between lessons.
Together, these tools give you the instruction, guidance, and feedback to help you continue improving your American English pronunciation and fluency.
