Most programs teach performance. We train perception.
Students learn the psychology, sociology, and behavioural dynamics behind how people think, react, and decide — and how to speak in a way that resonates.
⊕ Cognitive Science — Understand how people process language, emotion, and decision-making — and speak in ways that land.
⊕ Social Dynamics — Read the room, navigate group energy, and influence with awareness, not dominance.
⊕ Behavioural Psychology — Use science-backed techniques to shape trust, attention, and response.
Every Impact Speaking and debate lesson includes weekly writing tasks designed to enhance the students ability to design arguments and connect with the audience emotionally. Students learn to express deep ideas with clarity, structure, and confidence — through tailored feedback.
These tasks not only reinforce comprehension but also develop the habits of thoughtful, articulate expression that last a lifetime.
After every class, students receive a carefully written summary that captures the key ideas, skills, and insights covered. It’s a simple way to reinforce learning, track progress, and stay focused — even outside of class.

We know choosing the right course raises questions — especially when it comes to your child’s time, interests, and goals. These answers might help.

There are groups for every age, grade 3 to grade 12.
We carefully place students in a class that matches their ability.
Absolutely. In fact, many of our strongest students began shy.
We foster a no-judgement, safe pace where “mistakes are part of the process” and students feel safe to speak freely and take creative risks. Over time, students build real confidence grounded in the evidence of their own skills.
We teach real-world persuasive speaking, not just formal debating.
Students practise quick thinking, clear argument structure, body language, emotional presence, and persuasion psychology — so they can speak effectively in school presentations, social situations, leadership settings, and yes, even rowdy debates.
Yes — detailed, realtime feedback is given to students so they know what they did well, what they could do better next time.
Students also receive class summaries and weekly speaking challenges to help them apply skills in and beyond class.
Yes.
Many students report dramatic improvements in their oral presentations, class discussions, and written arguments at school. They also gain a deeper understanding of structure, audience, tone, and how to respond effectively under pressure.
Most school programs focus on scripted performance.
Our course focuses on strategy, improvisation, and persuasion under real pressure — skills that go far beyond memorised delivery. Students learn to read the room, react with speed, and connect with real influence.
If your child struggles with reading and writing, Impact Speaking & Debate can actually accelerate their progress.
Strong speaking skills build the foundation for clearer thinking, structured argumentation, and confident self-expression — which naturally supports reading comprehension and writing. If your child needs more focused help with reading or essay skills, we recommend pairing this course with our Classical Reading or Precision Writing program. Many students do both for the strongest results.
This program trains students to speak with confidence, clarity, and purpose in any setting — not just the classroom.
Through constant practice, real-time feedback, and high-level discussion, students learn to connect, persuade, and lead conversations. These skills translate directly to leadership roles, school interviews, casual debates, and professional situations where clear, impactful communication makes a difference.
To provide personalized instruction and in-depth feedback, we limit enrolment. Spaces fill quickly—once we reach capacity, enrolment closes.
