Suprabha Arvind: “I work as a Math Teacher at Cuemath. As a part of our Skill development program, we took the American Accent & English Pronunciation Masterclass (2024) conducted by Ms. Krishna Mukherji.
I always thought that I spoke English perfectly but after attending Krishna Mam’s class I realized that though I spoke very good grammatically correct English, I was not pronouncing many sounds correctly and I had lot of Mother Tongue Influence on my speech. I was completely unaware of this.
I learnt a lot in her class and was able to improve my accent and pronunciation by learning the correct sounds and the speaking pattern of the American English.
Krishna Mukherji Mam’s classes were very interesting and interactive, with lots of practice exercises.
It has helped me immensely in my profession and all my students from the United States and other native English-speaking countries understand me much better now than before.
I will highly recommend Krishna Mukherji Mam’s course.”
Bharathi Bhandarkar: “I work as a Project Manager in a healthcare IT firm in Bangalore. Before I used to struggle to understand my American colleagues’ accent and I spoke too fast. I didn’t know which syllable to stress or which vowel sound to stretch or shorten. Thanks to Ms. Krishna’s guidance. I learnt a lot and improved my accent and communication skills. Now I understand others better and express myself more clearly.
This coaching made a big difference in my professional interactions. I highly recommend this course to everyone.”
Rajini Balaji: We were a few chosen teachers who had the privilege to be coached under Krishna Mukherji Ma’am, for the English Accent Training. This helped us immensely in our tutoring classes where we have many students from the US Region. My US students are very happy with the accent that I carry in my language now.
