Our Speech Programs
Boost your child’s self confidence and analytical abilities, our speech programs help children achieve higher grades and perform better in standardized tests.
Oral English
A program designed for non-native speakers to learn how to address an issue with good organization, structure in delivery, and some depth in analysis. Students can expect to be speaking casually in classroom discussions and formally when presenting ideas.
TED Talk Analysis
A program designed for students to analyze identified TED speeches. Instructors will lead discussions on the content, style, and structure of the delivery to help students better understand the material discussed and the technique applied in the speech.
Famous Speech Analysis
A program designed for students to analyze famous speeches delivered in the past. Instructors will lead discussions on the content, style, and structure of the delivery to help students better understand the context of the speech.
Muppet Show
A program designed for students to help them ease into the world of storytelling. Students will be given a short passage to deliver using their Muppets as the main characters of the show. The focus of training is on mustering the voice and tone.
Puppet Show
An advanced level to the Muppet show. This course retains most of the goals of the Muppet Show with an additional expectation of body gestures, facial expressions, and special movements.
Dramatic Storytelling
A speech program that is focused on the delivery of the presenter. Presenters will be given the option to use a chair as assistance with the speech. Stories can be adapted, no need for originality. Students will be assessed on their ability to deliver the story, including their vocal variation, body language, use of space, etc.
Personal Narrative
Personal narrative is important for students to turn mundane life experiences into meaningful stories to share with others. The authenticity lends real credibility when the speaker tries to connect with audiences.
Informative Speech
Informative speech is one of the most applicable and useful speech techniques that our students would encounter in school. Whether doing presentations or reporting on their learning, informative speech is almost a necessity for many of our students to get good grades for their school work.
Evaluative Speech
We are often asked to comment on our peers’ work, but it can often sound hollow and empty. Learning to provide constructive feedback and having it sound pleasant is a challenge not just for adults in managerial positions but for students in a classroom setting or a group project. This course will explain the different ways to present evaluative speeches that are constructive and pleasing to the ears.
Original Oratory
Original oratory is the pinnacle of the public speaking contest. It requires students to deep dive into contentious social issues, align their ideas on the matter and present it in an attractive, persuasive, and entertaining manner. Students will only use their vocal variation and body language for the performance. No props are allowed for the competition.
Humorous Speech
Humor is hard to achieve at a young age. For many children, it can easily come off as being too awkward, too weird, and too unfunny. Yet humor is a powerful tool that can be taught, and there are structures that help set up students for a successful humorous speech. That will be the core focus of the program.
Impromptu Speaking
We often find ourselves in situations where we need to make a toast, a small speech to fill in the time, or a last-minute on-stage call to do a speech for which you’re unprepared. How to turn the nerves into a structured presentation as if you have prepared your whole life for it? That is what this course will do for your child.
Interview Preparations
We easily overestimate our performance in interviews thinking that our solid CV covers most of what is necessary. Most people have no clue what they would be asked or why. Interview preparations are designed for students looking for school application interviews, alumni interviews, or even job placement interviews for internships.
