Masterclass
How to help your child speak with confidence and purpose
Does your child get anxious speaking in front of others?
Strong communication skills are essential for success at secondary school, competitions, and leadership opportunities. Yet many students receive little formal training in these essential skills. This gap between communication expectations and actual preparation can lead to lower confidence and missed opportunities.
Join our FREE masterclass with Yale Alumnus and National Public Speaking Champion, Logan Klutse, where your child will learn expert-level public speaking techniques and participate in practical exercises designed to build confidence, craft compelling speeches, and deliver presentations with purpose and impact.
What your child will learn:
- Core public speaking and communication skills every student should develop early
- How to present and speak with confidence in academic and social settings
- An introduction to debate and structured argumentation
- Practical strategies for engaging any audience
- Ways to build a strong foundation for secondary school success and future leadership
- More about Rise, Crimson's premier college preparatory programme for students aged 11-14.
🎤 The session includes live student exercises, interactive discussion, and expert feedback, plus a Q&A for parents at the end.
