Common questions

iˈpoʊ.sɪ.koʊ (ee-POH-sih-koh).

Yes. Most of our students are nervous when they start. Classes are small, the first speeches are short, and nobody has to speak before they’re ready.

Twice a week gives 12 one-hour classes over six weeks. Once a week gives 8 classes over eight weeks, which can be easier to fit around other activities.

No, students join on their own. The coach will send you a short update at the end of each session.

A laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a quiet room.
