“Your videos from the Shining Star Competition are simply amazing and impressive. I also wanted to tell you that the public speaking class we put Shreya in last year along with the opportunity at the Gandhi Jayanthi event in Milpitas are all helping Shreya immensely - Shreya has a speech class in Challenger since she was in Kindergarten where she did okay but we have personally observed that since she went to the public speaking classes at Genius Kids she has been scoring really high in her speech - I mean consistently she has been getting 100% - the lowest we saw was 98% - I asked her how come she is scoring so high now than before where she was in late 80s and she said - mom, I keep remembering the little pointers my teacher at Genius Kids taught me- so THANK YOU so much for offering these classes - they are definitely build to improve a kids performance - something so rarely offered by anyone else - this is definitely your competitive advantage - no one can touch your public speaking course - kudos on creating it.”

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.
