Speech & Communication Training

We provide competent trainers who use customized methodologies to unleash the student’s ability to exude confidence in public speaking, raising their standard of spoken English, day-to-day communication skills, conflict resolution etc… Our coaching has effectively helped many people of all ages and from different professions to master the art of communication.

Misunderstandings and interpersonal conflicts come from miscommunication. The lack of good speaking ability may cost one a promotion. We are in the business of helping people minimize all of that. Here is what Ka Yin, 2nd Prize Winner at  the NTU/NIE speech contest has to say about our services.

“Public speaking used to be the most horrible thing that I could imagine. The kind of breathlessness, cold sweat and trembling due to nervousness was something I could never forget in my whole life. So I decided to find myself a good public speaking teacher.. The internet spat out all kinds of seminars and lectures from various renowned toastmasters where they gave speeches on how to improve our speaking skills. But I feel strongly that public speaking is about practicing and not just listening. Then came Genie who offered a very personal, fun and interactive teaching style that is “Uniquely GENIE”. With her bubbly and easy-going personality, she created an excellent environment where we were able to learn as well as to practice applying the various speaking techniques frequently. In just a few lessons, she managed to help us convert our fear into passion and we will be looking forward to every lesson since then. Here, I would like to thank Genie for igniting my passion for public speaking and banishing any fear I had in the past.”

“Signing up for speech coaching by Genie was one of the best decisions I made in my life. The art of speech & communications, taught in a very enthusiastic and intelligent manner, has allowed me to appreciate the beauty of speaking from within.

After learning how to conquer stage fright, enunciate accurately, breathe correctly and vary speech for different occasions, I am now ready to speak confidently.

I only wish I had come earlier.”
