Raves
“I graduated from the best schools and knew Finance, IT, and Economics. My English was fluent, but I could not get offers from the top banks. Susan explained how my responses were too long, I spoke too fast, and my pronunciation wasn’t clear. After she taught me how to correct these, I aced all my interviews and got an offer from my #1 choice.”
–– Boris, Risk Management
“After months of interviewing without even one job offer, I finally contacted Ms. Pogash. She focused on the problems in my answers to the difficult interview questions. As soon as I made the changes, I started getting multiple job offers!”
— Jorgos, Web Developer
“You’re Chicago’s gift to me. Though I had studied English for years in my country, when I came here I could not speak. With your patience and encouragement, I was speaking well in several months.”
— Cihan, Law Professor
