Who We Are
We are a small group of teachers with a passion for helping kids learn how to communicate confidently and effectively.
We all know how it feels to be uncomfortable in a public speaking situation;
We also know the importance of overcoming that at an early age.
We all went through shy stages as children until we had that one teacher that impacted us in a way that propelled our self-confidence, encouraged public speaking competitions, and even inspired careers in communications and education!
Whether it's having the courage to stand up and spell an unknown word in a spelling bee, write and/or deliver compelling lines from a play, craft an effective impromptu speech, or seal the deal in a debate tournament with a persuasive closing round... our goal is to BE that teacher for your child.
​
And, we have a lot of fun in the process.
