What Families Are Saying
Real kids. Real confidence.
My sister in law shared this resource with me after her daughter took this 3 day workshop and absolutely loved it. Best decision ever to sign up both of my kids - they not only really enjoy this workshop but it sparked something in them that I am forever grateful to Ms. Ava for.

We found out about this class through a homeschool page on Facebook and we're so glad we were able to join. The class was very interactive, fun and provided lots of activities. My daughter's favorites were the games and meeting other kids.

This was a fun class for my 11 year old! It was interactive, they played a lot of relevant games and made it easy for the kids to come up with their own speech at the end. A great way to get reluctant students to become speakers! Great job!

I loved how Ava taught this workshop! She did a great job on the PowerPoints and she made hard parts about speech seem easy! Looking forward to more! - Niko, 10 years old

Both of my children attended Ms. Ava's Speech Workshop and absolutely loved it. In just three hours I saw a remarkable difference - they went from hesitant and unsure to speaking confidently and organizing their ideas clearly.
Ms. Ava is incredibly knowledgeable, and her lessons are engaging and interactive, with fun games that kept the kids involved the whole time. It boosted my children's confidence and speaking skills, and we can't wait to attend more of her workshops.
