I have had a pleasure attending Mrs. Oda’s lessons! Always extremely understanding and willing to take the extra time to make sure her students understand all the material she presents! Can’t wait to see what more is to come with her as my coach!

She is amazing! I´m learning a lot about how to improve my American English accent. I love her technique. She also gives me very useful pieces of advice about the Acting world. And, on top of that, she is very nice and makes you feel comfortable and fine from the very beginning. Thanks Lois!

I have worked with Lois for the past three month, and she is just AMAZING. I have learned so much from her about public speaking, interview techniques and accent reduction. I am now much more confident about my English and presentation stills. She did an absolutely fantastic job on editing my resume and personal statements. Unlike online editing services (which just correct grammar and punctuation mistakes and typos), she spent time to know my vision and what I really wanted to express. The end results were impressive pieces that were personal and really made me stand out. Lois is intelligent, delightful and inspirational, and I truly enjoy her teaching. I especially love her homemade iced tea in this hot summer. I strongly recommend Lois for her lessons and will definitely continue working with her!
