I feel more confident and comfortable onstage. I used to stutter on stage due to stage fright and nervousness. The guided breathing techniques, sat-visualisation and preparation methods shared by the trainers helped me a lot to manage my nerves well.
By Neaton, 18-Year-Old Student.
I could see great improvement in my English language examination results. The in-class exercises were very focused which allowed me to grasp and master the depth of the subject matter instead of just understanding it at the surface level.
By Benjamin Chen, 12-Year-Old Student.
My son Frank had performed badly in school oral-exams during p3 & p4. He lacked confidence in speaking louder and clearly in front of people. Just after a few sessions, we could see some changes in my son already. He no longer murmured but spoke out his own opinion confidently & in a polite way. He is more sociable & popular at school as well.
By Kim, Mother of Frank Jin.
