自信溝通第 3 級：公開演講、辯論和社交技能

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 teaching style reflects that. I will provide many powerful games and activities that kids will enjoy participating in, along with strengthening their communication skills. In this class, I will facilitate a safe and comfortable environment, where students can express themselves freely. They will also feel safe enough to challenge themselves and one another to take risks and get out of their comfort zone, enabling them to cultivate a growth mindset. 

If you are aware of my Level 2 course, each class consists of giving students a role to complete and present. For example, one student takes on the role of being a host, where they introduce themself, welcome the members and thank them for joining.  Since those aspects of my level 2 class have been highly appreciated, they will also be included in my level 3 course.  However, the roles are now amped up to a higher level! In addition to roles, this class consists of exciting assignments and games! 


Who is this course for? 
- Students who have some experience in public speaking. 
- Students who like to challenge themselves and learn all the aspects of public speaking at an early age. 
**Note Your child does NOT need to have completed my level 1 or 2 courses to join it. Instead, I ask your child to have some experience in public speaking, whether in school, clubs and/or other classes.
