Beginner Level
This class is made for young learners to feel confident in the way they speak as well as learn how to develop a presence in front of an audience. This is a complete beginner class. We will learn the very basics of public speaking in this class. It is perfect for students who are new to public speaking and/or want to improve their social skills. If you are looking for a challenge for your child, I would suggest joining my beginner multi-day course for public speaking: https://outschool.com/classes/confident-communication-public-speaking-for-kids-open-to-all-learners-y8A0D7KE?usid=m5FGzWFn&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link The class structure is the following: - Icebreaker - warmup - A quick explanation about the class rules and norms - Open stage: Every week we will have a theme and students have an option to share anything related to the theme. For example, the first week's theme is 'favorite toy'. Students are free to share their favorite toy with the whole class. If students do not decide to share anything, that is still fine. This is an optional activity for students. - Word of the day- As a class, we will learn about one new element of public speaking (eg. eye contact) and practice using it. - Debate/discussion: There will either be a debate or a discussion about a given topic. - Drills: We will end class with a few public speaking drills that require the students to think on the spot.

Teacher expertise and credentials
"Confidence comes from hours and weeks and years of constant work and dedication."- Robert Staubach
A warm welcome to you! My name is Aasiyah (Aa-see-yah) and a short form for it is Siya (see-ya). I go by the gender pronoun of she/her. I am a certified communication and confidence coach and I am beyond excited to share my expertise with you!
I believe that the best education you can give a child is the education of building confidence, emotional intelligence and communication skills. I believe that these life skills are important for all ages and even more valuable than subjects taught in school. This is exactly why I do what I do. I believe confidence exists in every child and I act as a catalyst to help them find it and strengthen it. My aim is to enable each child to reach their highest potential.
Good communication skills and confidence is more than just a skill. It is a mindset and a lifestyle. Having healthy communication strategies helps children better their mental health, hold more positive relationships, be more empathetic and take on challenges in a much easier way. This is why I always provide a holistic approach in my teachings. Each child has their own unique needs and this is why I always provide individualized lesson plans and teachings to my students.
In addition to being a confidence and communications coach, I also hold a degree in psycholinguistics from The University of Toronto. Secondly, I am a Mental Health and Addictions student. I have over 8 years of experience working with children of all kinds. Also, I am a certified emotional intelligence practitioner, public speaking facilitator, mindfulness practitioner and an acceptance and commitment therapy practitioner. I also hold a TESOL certificate and teach online English to students in China.
Philosophy:
I am a strong believer in "learning through play". This is why you will notice that my classes are always filled with fun learning games. I also make my classes as interactive as possible, where kids can role-play situations that can be applicable in real life. Lastly, I take high priority on providing my students with a safe and comfortable place where they can be themselves and grow.
Some other fun facts about me:
1. I am a dancer and a performer.
2. My favorite color is pink.
3. I LOVE DIY projects.
4. My favourite ice cream is unicorn sparkle.
5. I have an obsession with shoes.
That's a little bit about me. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. If you have any further questions and/or inquiries, please feel free to reach out to me!Reviews
