    Public Speaking and Effective speech for Beginners

    Public speaking is a skill that allows you to navigate through many public settings such as class/work presentations, conferences, debates, sales, networking, negotiations and ceremonial speeches. It can be an essential tool to turn everyday scenarios into opportunities, whether business or personal.
    I would have gone from being a shy, quiet individual to a speaker on the podium; that was a transformation that took practice and personal development. Now I can speak in any public situation, as I have been on various podiums, panels at events, competitions, conferences and meetings.
    In this course you will:
    • Tackle the fears of speaking in front of an audience and acquire the confidence necessary to do so
    • Learn about the different types of public speakers, and the techniques heavily used by each
    • Go through exercises that will assist in confidence, pitch and pacing
    • Learn and practice techniques created, inspired and reinforced by Dale Carnegie to improve preparation and delivery
    • Create your own five-minute speech with assistance and guidance.

    About Me

    Hello Everyone!

    My name is Renee, I am originally from Barbados, which is one of the three countries I would have lived in. Throughout my life’s journey so far, I have been privileged to attend amazing educational institutions in Barbados and Guyana that would have aided me to where I am today. I would have won two scholarships one allowing for a life-changing experience in China and the other allowing me to study in Japan currently at Hokkaido University.

    My formal teaching experience is very limited, however informally; I am responsible for coaching and inspiring (or at least I would hope so!) many children and adults.
    I work well will children 8+, teenagers and adults. My approach is to first understand my students (their level, strengths, weaknesses, needs), afterwards, I am able to adjust the content of my classes to suit the individual.

    The courses I will offer will be geared towards the arts and social sciences such as fine arts, resin crafts, public speaking, conversational skills, the art of persuasion, etc...

We can start with very interesting articles+vocabulary made for English students. Pronunciation: I have a technique to improve students' pronunciation which many students have found effective. Business English: I use the Market Leader series of books which have great exercises to practice conversation in actual and Zoom meetings, presentations, interviews and specific business areas such as sales, management, finance and marketing. There are practice conversations, vocabulary, grammar, great conversation subjects as well as 'role play' which is very effective if not fun! TOEFL and IELTS Exams: I teach all aspects of these exams including speaking, listening, reading and writing. I can give test-taking tips and we can hone your skills while doing sample exams. Slang, Idioms and Phrasal Verbs: Learn to speak like a native with these casual conversation skills. I have books on idioms so that we can randomly introduce common ones, and I have huge phrasal verb lists. I'm well-versed in slang being a native of the United States and I particularly know California slang because that is where I'm from.
