About Toni
Helping multi-cultural professionals improve their English pronunciation
How many times have you thought to yourself: “Wow, that person seems really smart…too bad I only understand about half of what they’re saying.” Sound familiar?
There are 12 million adults aged 25 and over from other countries, living and working in the United States, who hold a bachelor’s degrees or higher.*
These people are often brilliant, qualified workers. Yet, they find themselves unable to advance their careers, wondering why they didn’t get that job or promotion. Maybe it’s prejudice. Maybe someone else was more qualified.
Or maybe it’s because the interviewer couldn’t understand what they were saying.
These professionals usually possess advanced proficiency when it comes to reading comprehension and listening skills. Yet, their speaking and writing skills fall short. Often, no one will tell them this, for fear of offending them. After all, who wants to tell someone, “We can only understand about every fourth word you say?” Or, “While you are brilliant in your discipline, the report you submitted was poorly written.”
It’s for this niche of adult professionals that Toni Busuttil is building a business. A long-time corporate communications professional, Toni has spent decades at Fortune 500 companies. She’s seen the evolving state of the U.S. workforce first-hand, working side-by-side with people from all over the world. Now, she’s helping adult professionals for whom English is a second (or third or fourth) language.
“Better communication skills build community, trust, and respect. I have worked with a significant number of brilliant, talented, fun-loving and good-hearted people from India, France and other countries who didn’t realize their English pronunciation was poor. I often repeated what I think I heard them say to get clarity; it was frustrating and sometimes embarrassing, but they seemed to appreciate that I really wanted to understand every word they said,” according to Toni.
“That’s when it dawned on me that there was probably a significant population out there who could benefit from improving their English pronunciation and writing skills. These people were top-notch professionals in their fields: aerospace engineers, IT professionals, finance experts, coders, technologists, etc. They were smart. They could read and comprehend at a higher level than many, but there was a delta when it came to English pronunciation and writing. I aim to narrow that gap. It’s a calling. The quality of their lives - as well as the lives of everyone they come in contact with - will improve significantly with better verbal expression and better command of the pen.”
Toni Busuttil works primarily with adult professionals who seek to improve their English pronunciation and writing skills.
She holds an international accreditation to tutor those for whom English is a Second Language (ESL) as well as English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).

Student goals are instrumental in defining the most effective methods for each learner. I pride myself in custom learning experiences, even in small group settings. After initial contact, discovery and assessment of goals vs. current skill levels, I create lesson plans that involve student-centered realia combined with collaborative progress reviews for fast-paced yet indelible results.
