I will provide a fun handout for students to continue on practicing their speaking skills after this class is over.Class Experience
In this one-time class, students will learn how to confidently express themselves. We will play games and take part in drills that increase quick-thinking skills, and communication skills. We will also learn about the right body language we need when speaking in public along with practicing eye contact. This class will start with a quick icebreaker where we will introduce ourselves. Next, we will do a fun warm-up that will increase confidence and prepare the students to speak for the rest of the class. We will also discuss posture and eye contact before we start. I will then guide students with fun speaking drills and games. Next, I will introduce debate rules and we will have a fun teacher versus students debate about the topics "Should teachers be replaced by robots?" and "Should kids get longer recesses?" Debate rules will be presented through PowerPoint slides. I will also keep a scoreboard between teachers and students. Once the debate is over, I will ask a few impromptu questions to each student. The maximum capacity for this class is 5 students. I always ensure that everyone gets an equal opportunity to speak in my classes. Also, this class is open to all learners. I like to implement my learning for everyone. If you believe that your child performs better with a special teaching style or technique, please feel free to message me and let me know.

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
