I do NOT share students' videos to protect their privacy.  Students can view their video presentations by watching the Outschool recording of this class.

As advanced students practice public speaking skills, they will provide and receive positive feedback from the teacher and peers to strengthen their public speaking skills and boost their speaking confidence.  

*** If your child or teen joins this class after the first meeting, consider enrolling them in "Create an Awesome Speech Outline for a Presentation or Contest."  The outline class will provide the structure they need to prepare speeches for this class. (optional)

*** NOTE:  If your child has no or limited public speaking skills, consider enrolling them in my 1-on-1 or group public speaking classes.  The private and group classes offer opportunities to learn basic public speaking and communication skills. 

This ongoing class provides opportunities students to gain confidence, overcome "stage fright" and public speaking anxiety, and receive encouraging feedback as they practice public speaking skills. 

I look forward to meeting your child. Please contact me if you have any questions.
