Public speaking can be terrifying! This class is designed to help students become more comfortable speaking to an audience. In this one-time, interactive class, students will learn the basics to become more confident and effective communicators. We will cover topics including body language, tone, and filler words. Discuss, as a class, common fears associated with public speaking. Each student will have the opportunity to practice public speaking in class. Students will receive feedback from their classmates and myself. Our classroom is a collaborative community that is a safe space for practicing a very challenging skill (public speaking). To create a more comfortable environment, students help decide what fun topic will be used for their practice presentations. No prior experience or knowledge is required for this course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Joy and I’m so excited to welcome you to our Outschool family. Let me share a little about myself. I enjoy teaching students to communicate confidently to accomplish their goals. Their goal could be acing a school presentation or convincing mom to purchase the new popular video game. You will find that my classes include topics including:
- Confident Communication Skills
- Communication Skills for Introverts
- Public Speaking & Presentation Skills
- Goal Setting for Success
- Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel
Currently, I have my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and I am a Certified Life and Leadership Development Coach. I have experience presenting in the classroom and corporate setting. I’ve worked for multiple Fortune 100 companies and will bring real world experience in a fun and interactive environment.
Our classes are a partnership between the students, their families, and myself. Each class is hyperactive, meaning the students will be speaking and participating throughout class. All students will have the opportunity to share their thoughts, experiences, and presentations to the class. Students will have the opportunity to offer and receive feedback from their peers. This not only creates a collaborative learning community, but also reinforces learning. I also weave the student’s interests into the lessons to keep them engaged.
When in class, you may hear a funny tune. I'm no professional, but I love to make up impromptu songs, rhymes, and raps on almost any subject. So, your student is not on YouTube or TikTok. It's just our creativity on full display.
