Welcome to my fun Public Communication individualized and private lesson course for students that struggle with writing speeches, confidence, nervousness, anxiety, delivery, and overcoming our human nature responses to answering a question or having to give a speech. We will learn all about the different types of speeches, the basics of presenting great speeches (delivery), and most importantly presenting a speech for any occasion. This course is public speaking, communications, debate, and...
- The learners will be able to develop excellent speeches with creative and great topics, be able to research and create adding supporting details or evidence for claims, and write several different speeches with different tones (informative, argumentative, etc.). The learners will be able to move towards a mastery of delivery from tone, voice, volume, pitch, eye contact, hand gesture, and engage the audience through their speech. The learners will be able to become comfortable with speaking in any context, build confidence, as well as overcome anxiety and nervousness.
I have sixteen plus years of experience. I took part competing in speech and debate. I have sixteen years of students giving speeches in my classes, many classroom discussion/speeches through seminar classes, and I have been a speech and debate coach.
