Public Speaking and Interview Coaching for 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.
Tailored programmes and workshops can focus on:
-
Public speaking foundations
-
Speech writing and delivery
-
Student leadership and speaking
-
Impromptu and persuasive speaking
-
Presentation skills and confidence
-
Interview skills and approaching employers
-
Sports captains and other leadership opportunities
Each programme is adapted to suit the students, school and learning objectives.
Options for Teachers
