Confident Public Speaking (Online LIVE)

Update: Registration for school break camps are now open =) We are offering Academic Writing Camps from 10am-12pm and Confident Public Speaking Camps from 1-3pm during the school holidays. -

Thank you for your question and interest in our programs. Typically for an 8 year old who is newer to public speaking or on the more shy side, we would recommend the Grade 1-3 class, however, we do purposely schedule our classes so both age groups (Grade 1-3 & Grade 3-5) are happening simultaneously. This allows for flexibility in the case that the Grade 1-3 is too easy for your child, she can join the Grade 3-5 class instead. Additionally, the Grade 3-5 class delves a bit deeper into the public speaking skills while the Grade 1-3 class focuses more on building student confidence and comfort in front of an audience, so can be more of an introductory level class. Hope that helps clarify! -

Thank you for your question. For all of our classes, our student-teacher ratio is 12:1, with the very rare occasions where we might allow a 13th student. Our instructors are all professionals or teachers in their field or have had extensive experience with the subject area(s) they teach. Additionally, we also have at least one other Communication Academy admin staff member in the virtual meeting room as well to provide additional support either with tech support or "classroom" support as well too. -

Thank you for asking the question. Every week we rotate topics: speech camp, creative interpretation camp, and an improv camp. All our classes are interactive with the instructor and other kids in the class. Our instructor for this age group also have the kids read and write to help build up their public speaking skills. -
