Public Speaking and Interview Coaching in Schools

The Why

As a teacher, I know that we do not always have the time to focus on these skills, and yet, they are crucial to our success post-school. Support your students (and teachers) to develop the life skills of public speaking and interviewing before they leave the safety of school. 

Options for Students

 

Interactive workshops that build students’ confidence for assemblies, class presentations, and public speaking. Through practical activities and storytelling techniques, I help students speak with clarity, ease, and impact.

I also provide interview training and workplace communication skills, preparing students for their next step. From mock interviews to approaching employers and building networks, students leave school confident and ready to impress.

Workshops & Programmes:

  • Public Speaking for Student Leaders – 3 hrs

  • Public Speaking: The Basics – 1.5 or 3 hrs

  • Public Speaking for Sports Captains – 2 or 3 hrs

  • Interviewing Skills Seminars – 1 hr

  • ‘Elevate’ Programme – supports Pathways Programmes and Careers Classes

  • Bespoke Workshops – Public Speaking, Presenting, and/or Interview skills for smaller student groups, designed individually with you

 
Options for Teachers
