Our experience shows that the qualifications, experience and skill of the teacher is one of the most important considerations when finding a program that is best for teaching groups of children.

Before enrolling your child in any program, we encourage parents to check the teaching experience & teacher qualifications of the actual teachers. Experience is especially important when teaching groups of children public speaking. Not all programs are equal in this area.

At Super Speak, we pride ourselves on having some of the most experienced and skilled teachers of children.

This ensures that they are capable and able to work in any NSW school, have completed all relevant police checks and are undertaking regular professional development to advance their skills.

2. Who designed the program?

Are they qualified school teachers with at least a bachelor in education? Are they experienced school teachers? Are they registered and recognised teachers with the NESA or the Victorian Institute of Teaching? What is their background?
