Would you like to help your child gain more confidence and improve his or her public speaking and leadership skills? That’s our specialty! The Academy for Public Speaking offers fun, interactive classes to empower teens and pre-teens to become confident, effective communicators.
Your child will learn the value of not being afraid to express his or her ideas while developing confidence, leadership experience, and public speaking skills. These essential communication skills will support your child in doing well in school and achieving his or her goals in life.
During our free introductory class, your child will learn why public speaking skills are important, how common the fear of public speaking is, and how he or she can quickly overcome the fear of public speaking.
Your child will also have the opportunity to meet some Academy for Public Speaking graduates who will present speeches and share about their experiences. The graduates will explain how they initially felt about public speaking, what they liked about the classes, and how the skills they have acquired have helped them in school and life.
The Academy for Public Speaking offers three levels of courses. During the level one course, your child will learn how to write and deliver speeches, give effective peer evaluations, and reply to impromptu questions. The speech projects include introduction, storytelling, inspirational, and persuasive speeches.
Our free public speaking classes are open to students in 3rd-12th grade and will be offered on July 27 and August 10, 2013 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at the Hampton Inn Del Mar. A limited number of seats are available, and advance registration is required.
