What Parents Say About Our Online Programs

It was an amazing experience, 3 perfections about SSA would be:

1. The teaching - SSA’s structure of teaching is absolutely wonderful, a game at the start and then get into different subjects everyday, sometimes a full debate and then the game at the end.

2. The interactions with the coach - I think that your teachers are superb! They teach very specifically, and explain in deep trenches rather than shallow and the students can learn a lot!

3. The organisation - SSA’s organisations within the teaching are very strong, they put in a lot of thought on how to plan out one lesson and end it with a good and cheery vibe.

Debating Parrots
Alex, Online Parent Debating Parrots

Thanks Brendan for the professional debate coaching. I feel my son's confidence improved a lot during the debating program. I feel it is important he had the opportunity to practise debating with other students, gained more valuable debating experience through the different debating cases. We have signed up for next debate Term 1 program, maybe my son should have more practice on the rebuttal skills and make his expression and speech more concise and convincing.

Amy, Online Parent Practice Debates

Great work Speaking Schools!

My son attended the online holiday program. It helped him with presentation skills, build confidence and to face an audience. Online classes were effective and well structured with lots of interactions and games.

My son loved the classes as it was very engaging and interesting, without a dull moment. Speaking Schools is highly recommended for maintaining standards and quality of teachers.
