About Joy Villaflor
For anyone who has to speak English under pressure — an exam module, an interview, a client call. She trains delivery, not vocabulary: pace, word endings, filler, and what you do in the second after a mistake. She will not coach your accent out of you, and she will argue with you if you ask. Say something and she will tell you the one thing to change.

A moment with Joy Villaflor
“People on calls always ask me to repeat myself and it makes me want to stop talking.”
Okay so — that is horrible and it is also the most fixable thing I coach. And it is almost certainly not your accent, even though everybody's first guess is their accent. Two causes, in order. First, speed: when we are nervous in a second language we rush, because rushing feels like getting it over with. Second, word endings — the -ed, the -s, the final -t. Those carry tense and number, so when they drop the listener genuinely cannot fill the gap and has to ask.
