Want to find your voice in English and improve how you sound?

The Intentional English Intensive bundle includes three full-length courses: Stress Simplified, Intonation Clinic, and 30 Days of Intonation.

When you invest in this bundle and commit to practicing over the course of four months, you'll achieve the following:

You'll master word and sentence stress so that you speak more clearly and people understand what you say.
You'll be able to use stress and intonation effectively, and break your ideas into thought groups so that they're easier for people to follow and remember.
You'll feel more confident controlling and changing your pitch and leveraging your voice so that you can express precisely what you mean through American intonation patterns.
You'll be able to apply what you've learned to some of the most common words and expressions in English so that you use them more like a native speaker.
You'll use your voice more intentionally and effectively so that your meaning and message are clear.

Stress Simplified

Stress Simplified will teach you how to speak clearly through word and sentence stress and thought groups so that people will definitely understand what you say.

When you improve how you stress your speech, your voice sounds more natural, your pitch is more expressive, your words are more clear and easy to understand, your ideas have more flow, and you'll no longer have to repeat yourself as often!

Paula, China (living in the US)

Kim’s coaching philosophy and practices encouraged me to pursue a much more important goal: clear, expressive, effective speech. [That's why] I bought her bundle of programs. After just two weeks, I feel more joy and confidence while speaking with people. One bonus: her loving and energetic personality paired with her excellent teaching skills make your study a happy journey!

Fabiana, Brazil

Stress Simplified is exactly what I was looking for. It shows in detail how to apply stress in different situations (word, sentence, thought groups, etc). If, during the course, you have some questions or suggestions, you may contact Kim (via email or chat) and she replies carefully. I really recommend this course, especially to people that speak syllable-timed languages and want to be better understood when speaking English... and who have contact (in person or via phone) with Americans and/or other foreigners frequently, especially in the work environment.

Shikhar, India

Before taking Intonation Clinic, I was virtually tone-deaf. I never had the opportunity to examine the intonation aspect of speech at such a nuanced level. With this program, my ability to identify and develop pitch variation in speech has improved enormously.

Intonation is that final piece of the accent puzzle that will help any ESL student to put together a more engaging and responsive voice, and Intonation Clinic is that missing link that will help you connect your emotions to your voice.

Students who have already mastered the essentials and wish to work on the musical aspect of American English will find this resource indispensable. I don't think there's any comprehensive course in the market like this one that deals with intonation in such depth. I would highly endorse Intonation Clinic to anyone serious about advancing their fluency to the next level.

Favour, Nigeria (living in the US)

Your self learning program is so good. I can learn to improve my accent at my own free time and pace. I’m loving it!

Nikki, Japan (living in the US)

After working with you, I feel more confident interacting with people. I feel more welcoming than I was before. I feel more confident with my intonation. I can now use my English to get into a deeper conversation, but I wasn’t able to do that before because I was constantly worried about my accent and my intonation. I’m not a perfectionist anymore, once I got rid of the idea of being a perfectionist, I’m actually one step closer to being more perfect.

Min Jeong, South Korea (living in the US)

Through the course of working with you, I diagnosed and got to the root of my problems. I’ve learned that small nuances make a big impact on how people perceive, or receive, my message and that key messages are more important than sounding perfect. What I needed wasn’t perfection, but communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Intentional English Intensive bundle?

You'll receive immediate access to these three courses:

At the moment, this bundle is the only way you can enroll in 30 Days of Intonation.

I've already enrolled in Stress Simplified, Intonation Clinic, or 30 Days of Intonation, but now I'm interested in the bundle. Can I still get the special offer?

If you've already enrolled in Stress Simplified, Intonation Clinic, or 30 Days of Intonation, and now you're interested in the bundle, that's awesome!

I'd be happy to apply what you've already paid for the other courses towards the bundle price. Simply send me an email or a message on the course site, and I'll send you a coupon code.

How long will it take to complete the courses in the bundle?

All of these courses are self-paced, which means you can work through them as quickly or as slowly as you prefer.

Some people choose to binge-watch the lessons, while others return back to them again and again over time.

That said, these three courses will probably take you about 3-4 months to complete, if you commit to consistent practice:

Stress Simplified: 6-8 weeks
Intonation Clinic: 4-6 weeks
30 Days of Intonation: 30 days

That's why this bundle is called an "intensive"!

Remember, you can take as long as you need to complete the courses, and you can return back to them whenever you'd like. When you get started, you'll soon figure out what works for you.

Do I get support from you as I work through the courses?

You are definitely not on your own as you work through these courses!

First things first, you can reach out to me via the chat box on the course site with any questions, and I'll be happy to help. You can also email me directly.
If you're wondering what you personally need to focus on, you can submit two short audio recordings for private written feedback and tips. (That's one for Stress Simplified, and one for Intonation Clinic.) You can submit the recordings whenever you want - as an initial assessment, to check your progress, or for evaluation.

How long do I have access to the courses?

Once you invest in the bundle, you will continue to have access to these three courses for the lifetime of each course.

I have been offering online courses since 2017 and my students continue to have access to all of their courses, even if they are no longer open for new enrollments.

That said, it is always best to work through courses soon after investing in them, since that's when you're most motivated!
