**In Person, at our NEW Herndon Center Location! This fun, high-energy, and highly interactive public speaking series is designed for students in grades 5-8. It’s the perfect opportunity for both beginners and those with some experience to build confidence, improve speaking skills, and learn to communicate effectively in front of an audience. This 5-session, 1.5-hour per class course provides individualized feedback and tailored challenges to help students grow while having fun! Particularly in the pre-teen and early teen years, gaining confidence in public speaking is essential—and this class gives students the tools to speak up, share their ideas, and engage with others in a supportive and dynamic environment. Students will also receive class materials, including a detailed class packet, to support their learning and practice. In each lively, engaging class, students will: LEARN - Learn and improve on the fundamentals of effective public speaking and explore different styles of speaking; - Learn to reduce and manage public speaking anxiety and nervousness; - Learn to implement DAILY positive public speaking and communication habits; - Learn to structure and improve their writing skills; - Understand the differences in various types of public speaking, such as persuasive, informative, storytelling, and conversational skills. DO - Practice their impromptu speech skills as well as prepared written assignments; - Present to the entire group and receive feedback from instructors and peers. IMPROVE - Each student will receive individualized feedback on their speaking to help them grow as confident and effective communicators. - If assignments are written, students will also receive individualized feedback on their writing to enhance clarity, structure, and impact. As students move through this class, they’ll gain essential skills for both their academic and personal lives. Whether they’re presenting in class, giving a speech for a project, or speaking in front of friends, they’ll feel more confident and prepared. Our two instructors ensure that every student receives plenty of attention and feedback in each session. With backgrounds in teaching, public speaking, stand-up comedy, and performance, our instructors bring energy, fun, and expertise to every class! Note: Assignments may be given and are expected to be completed to maximize growth. Practicing skills outside of class is highly encouraged!
