Beverly A. Lujan, a certified speech-language pathologist, has specialized in accent reduction for more than 20 years. Her desire to specialize in this field was sparked by her studies in phonetics, linguistics, voice, and articulation. She holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Utah and has completed additional American English phonology and linguistics studies at San Diego State University.

Ms. Lujan's strong training, sensitivity to the needs of non-native speakers, creativity, and expertise at training voice and articulation account for her high success rate in helping clients and students achieve their speech/communication goals. She has coached thousands of non-native speakers from around the world individually and in groups. Her clients include a wide range of professionals from such fields as business, technology, medicine, law, and public relations (learners of English for Specified Purpose, ESP). She provides the same high quality coaching long-distance as well as in person.

Ms. Lujan founded the Lingual Arts School in Salt Lake City to conduct courses and seminars on accent reduction for corporate, government, and educational clients. She has supervised university graduate students in their practicum training to teach speech skills to ESL learners.
