Parent Testimonials for our Public Speaking and Debating classes

Our son attended the debating class in the Strathfield campus. I must say that the coach/teacher was fantastic. On the last day, she had a session organised for parents where she explained all the key techniques that was taught. She also motivated each and every child. Kudos to the team and I highly recommend the program

My son has improved his speech content building/writing since joining the course, he has opened up more and boost his confidence. Would recommend it, thanks!

Presentation Skills Leopards
Michelle Y, Parent Presentation Skills Leopards
