“Thanks a ton for the encouragement Ms.Rennu. All of us (kids and us) love participating in the events you organize. The breadth of talent amongst kids is really great to see - singing, dancing, painting, public speaking, piano, hula hoops, gymnastics etc. For us we love the part of seeing our kids go through the entire process. They chose their own topics for speech and painting. Agastya, gave us every single detail he wanted us to capture in that speech and we only put some structure around his thoughts. Then he practiced till he knew the speech in and out, questioning us on every word and its meaning. Both kids loved their choice of paintings - Anagha wanted something more colorful and joyous (her personality) and Agastya more of his vision of a peaceful day in nature. Loved how everything came together. You also got special complements from kids grandparents for including topics that speak to the importance of family and cementing some of these fond memories in their hearts.
Again thanks a lot for organizing a great event, it was fun and educational to watch and be part of!”

In 2001 the founder of Genius Kids, Rennu Dhillon, had a vision – to teach every child to “Think Lead and Communicate”. The first Genius Kids was opened in August 2001 offering summer camps teaching science incorporating public speaking at the same time. This was a phenomenal success leading to the development of an award winning curriculum which incorporates public speaking in every subject taught. Since 2001, hundreds of children have emerged from the program and Genius Kids prodigies stand out in any crowd with their beaming personalities, public speaking and confidence.
Prior to opening Genius Kids, Dhillon was the top producer for a world renowned staffing agency. One of the biggest challenges she experienced as she placed professionals in jobs, was that many candidates despite advanced technical skills in their respective field, lacked the social skills, confidence, interviewing and communication skills to poise themselves for personal interviews. Dhillon was exposed to public speaking and drama from a young age, which she personally feels has been her strongest asset to her success today. “My parents ensured that in addition to a strong academic background, that I was given the necessary training in speech, communication and confidence. I participated in hundreds of competitions at local and national levels which boosted my self-esteem and taught me important life skills, most importantly to handle obstacles and unexpected challenges in life. I realized that this important life skills needs to be taught from a young age to overcome shyness and the fear of speaking in front of others.”
Genius Kids has been featured on several networks to include CNNmoney.com, KRON 4, NBC, TV Asia. TV 5 Monde, and SONYEntertainment Asia Television. Dhillon has been quoted in several publications and won awards worldwide for her commitment to education. She is a guest speaker at several events.
