Book a Free Trial ClassWhy public speaking matters for children
A public speaking course for kids is practice in being heard. Children who learn to speak in class 4, class 5, class 6, class 7 and class 8 carry that confidence into presentations, interviews and everyday conversations. Public speaking for children is a communication skill, not a performance reserved for a few students.
What your child will learn
- Calm stage fear with breathing and a simple way to begin
- Structure a short speech with a clear opening, middle and close
- Use voice, pace and body language
- Speak on the spot when a question is unexpected
- Take feedback and try the speech again
Programme by grade
Grades 4 to 6
Short speeches, show-and-tell and stories. Students learn to stand, start and finish without rushing.
Grades 7 to 8
Longer talks, class presentations and the first taste of debate. This is the core of our public speaking course for kids.
Grades 9 to 12
Speeches for school, interviews and Model United Nations. Students work on clarity under pressure.
How classes work: Prepare, Practise, Perform
Prepare: students learn by speaking in a live online class, not only by listening. Practise: guided speaking exercises and feedback continue between classes. Perform: students take the same skills onto a real stage at debates, speech contests and MUN conferences.
Live online classes for students worldwide
These are live online classes for students worldwide. A child can join from India, the UAE, the USA, the UK, Singapore, Canada or Australia, including NRI kids and students in IB, IGCSE, Cambridge, CBSE and ICSE schools. Grade 4 and Year 5 students, and a 5th grade class in the USA, follow the same speaking path.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best public speaking course for kids?
SYM teaches live online public speaking classes for kids in Grades 4 to 12, focused on stage fear, clear thinking and communication skills. Younger children begin with Junior Champions, our public speaking programme for PreKG to Grade 3. Families in India and abroad book a free trial class and join from anywhere in the world.
What is the right age to start public speaking classes?
Children can start in PreKG. Junior Champions is for PreKG to Grade 3 and uses stories, show-and-tell, rhymes and play. Public speaking, spoken English, MUN and financial literacy classes are for Grades 4 to 12, with Grades 4 to 8 as the core group. The same live online classes work for a 5 year old in Junior Champions and for a student in Grade 8.
How can my child overcome stage fear?
Stage fear eases when speaking is practised in small steps. Live classes teach breathing, grounding and how to structure a short speech. Students then practise between classes and perform at debates, speech contests and MUN conferences, so standing up to speak becomes familiar.
Are your classes available for kids outside India?
Yes. These are live online classes, so students join from India and from the UAE, USA, UK, Singapore, Canada and Australia, including NRI kids and Indian families abroad. We teach students from CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE and Cambridge schools. Trial times are shared in IST, GST, GMT and EST.
