Expectation: Fun Zoom sessions with a confident kid in 2 weeks. Reality: Frustration, progress, repetition, and...transformation.

What We Expected:

• All classes to be entertaining and game-based
   

• No homework
   

• Super quick results
   

What We Got:

• Structured sessions focused on real communication formats (debate, story, speech, etc.)
   

• Assignments after each class
   

• Progress that built slowly, not explosively
   

The Surprise Element: The teacher wasn’t just teaching. She was mentoring. My daughter talked to her about school stress, fear of stage, and even friendships. The teacher used those conversations to build speech content and themes.

She wasn’t just learning communication. She was learning to express herself authentically.

The Hard Days:

• Days when she didn’t want to attend
   

• When the story writing felt too difficult
   

• When she forgot to submit her Spark Diary entry
   

But that’s where real learning happens. In sticking through the hard parts.

Verdict: Don’t expect sparkles and instant confidence. Expect structure, effort, patience — and over time, a child who knows how to think and speak clearly.
