“Both my daughters attend the Academy for Public Speaking’s classes and they agree that they are always a joy to attend and learn from. Mrs. Kathleen Petrone is a positive and supportive teacher towards her students and constantly gives them helpful suggestions for improvement.
My daughters used to be very shy and introverted, and taking public speaking classes has allowed them to improve and become much more comfortable with public speaking.
This semester, taking online public speaking classes has allowed them to meet so many interesting and unique people, and they always end class with a big smile on their faces and a wonderful attitude. Highly recommend the Academy for Public Speaking!” Meiling Yueh

“I think others should take this course because most people on this planet do not have too much confidence when speaking in front of a group of people. This class teaches you about confidence, expressions, and more! There are classes at different times on different days. Also summer camps! I like these classes because you get to share about what you like and others get to know you. This is why I think others should take the class.”
