Class Experience

This course is designed to boost your child’s confidence, self-esteem, and public speaking skills! 🌟🎙️

I believe that the best way to learn is through play and hands-on experience. 🎭 That’s why my classes are filled with fun games, interactive activities, and engaging exercises that make public speaking an exciting adventure! 🚀

Unlike traditional theory-based courses, this class is all about practice! 💡 Students will speak, present, and refine their skills in every session, building confidence through action rather than passive learning.

🎭 A key highlight of this course is the Student Role Presentations, which take place at the start of each class. 

🎤✨ These roles promote independence, responsibility, and leadership, empowering students to take initiative and speak with confidence. 💪🗣️ (Note: There will be no role presentations on major or final assignment days.)

🔹 Recurring Activity: Student Role Presentations
At the beginning of every class, students will present their assigned roles. This recurring activity helps develop:
✅ Confidence – Speaking in front of an audience regularly.
✅ Initiative – Taking responsibility for their role.
✅ Leadership Skills – Guiding and engaging the class.
✅ Public Speaking Techniques – Practicing in a structured but fun way.

Each role is designed to give students a sense of independence and responsibility, helping them understand the importance of taking initiative and actively participating in a group setting. (Note: There will be no role presentations on days when students present major or final assignments.)
