This course is designed to boost your child's self-esteem, confidence, and verbal and non-verbal communication. I am a strong believer in learning through play and my classes and teaching style reflect that. I will provide a lot of fun games and activities that kids will enjoy as they strengthen their communication skills. In this class, I will create a learning environment where students will enjoy themselves and feel comfortable enough to take on challenges and motivate each other as well as provide constructive feedback to each other for further improvement.
