Subject: Public Speaking

What will my child walk away with? Their own authentic public speaking style — one suited to their unique voice and personality, not a generic template. My experience winning multiple Toastmasters awards including a Division Area finalist position, combined with over two and a half years of dedicated public speaking instruction, gives me a practitioner’s understanding of what it actually takes to develop genuine speaking confidence.

What can families expect? A teacher who genuinely believes that nothing is impossible with the right amount of diligence, creativity, and fun. I teach public speaking across clubs, after-school programs, and educational institutions, and I bring the same energy and commitment to every setting. My goal is to create a positive, lasting impact on every student I work with.

What does class actually feel like? Encouraging, energetic, and surprisingly enjoyable. I know from my own Toastmasters journey that public speaking confidence is built incrementally through practice, feedback, and the right environment, and I recreate that environment deliberately in every class.

How do you challenge a curious mind? I push students toward their own style rather than a borrowed one. A curious student who is already articulate needs to discover what makes their particular voice distinctive and persuasive, and helping them find and develop that individual quality is the most interesting part of teaching public speaking.
