"I had always wondered why I sounded so weird beside Americans and why sometimes people did not understand my English.  Thanks to Mr. Harpster's patience and helpful guidance I'm very glad I've improved not only my pronunciation but also my ability to understand English speakers better than before."

"Thanks to Bruce's ability to pinpoint why my English did not sound right to me, my pronunciation really improved.  The homework and regular practice are an important part of the progress and can be continued after the class as the sounds and various texts were recorded on tape.  In addition to his speech expertise, Bruce is fun to work with!
