Our founder, Rochel deOliveira: “I was trained by a master”
“I worked with Sam Chwat, known as the “dialect coach to the stars”, at the Sam Chwat Speech Center for about 6 years. He was warm, well-read, charismatic, VERY funny, and passionate about his work. I nurtured my love of accent and speech training by learning from one of the best in the industry.
“I started my company AccentsOff with a feeling of great excitement, knowing that I could take Sam’s training to the next level. My background as a speech pathologist and classical musician continues to give me insights into how to help our students improve their speech, accent, and communication skills.
“As a child of immigrants, I totally get how people want to be understood, fit in, and get ahead. Assimilating successfully into a new culture and society can be so challenging. A key ingredient to success is to feel confident and be clearly understood. I’m fortunate to have such a great team of instructors who know how to teach – and love seeing our students progress.”

What Our Clients Say About AccentsOff
Delivered impact and results
“We had a very important time-sensitive request to support a key training initiative. Rochel and her team jumped through hoops to prepare and deliver a first-class, very effective solution that delivered the impact and results we needed. AccentsOff is very professional, responsive and they deliver. We will work with Rochel and her team again (and again).
My coworkers noticed the difference
“I have always struggled with my accent. As a result, it was difficult for me to communicate with my coworkers, clients, and friends. In addition, my accent was preventing me from communicating effectively and sounding confident in job interviews. My coworkers and friends have noticed the improvement in my speech and are really proud of me.”
HELPED ME ORGANIZE MY THOUGHTS
“AccentsOff is a phenomenal resource to improve speech and diction. Aside from proper pronunciation and grammar, I learned Mind Mapping, which taught me how to better organize my thought pattern into a format parallel to how the brain works. Learning this simple tool boosted my self-confidence and improved my presentation skills during meetings tremendously. An investment in AccentsOff is an investment in a more successful future.”
