How can Win With Words complement what my child currently does?
Regardless of the age of the child or their abilities, Public Speaking is one quality and life skill that very person needs to have. The biggest fear people have today after death is the fear of speaking in front of a group. This is the most common fear and best overcome at a young age when children are able to overcome such phobias with practice and more practice.
How often should my child attend?
The group classes are scheduled once a week, for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes each. Students attend once a week, 4 sessions in a month. We recommend parents sign up for 3, 6 or 9 month sessions since like any skill (music, art, and sport) practice makes perfect. The art of public speaking does not happen overnight and each class will teach different aspects of speech from eye contact to how to manage your audience, how to keep the topic interesting, body actions and posture. Public Speaking develops with regular practice.
How soon can I expect to see results?
As they say Rome was NOT built in a day. Each child is different and it is important to spend time practicing the skills taught in class at home as well. Most parents begin to see effective results in both class participation and attitude within 10-12 weeks and some sooner. Some children take time to adjust to the class and parents must be patient and allow them time to begin to enjoy the class and appreciate what they are learning. Developing confidence requires teamwork between the parent and the instructor.
What level should my child begin?

The class is weekly and an additional least 5-10 minutes a day practicing their speech for presentations in class. Remember Practice Makes Perfect!
