There are no other public speaking providers for kids with such an experienced & comprehensive head office support team based in Melbourne. Super Speak have 18 venues across Melbourne. Specific venue details can be found here: www.superspeak.com.au/venues-times

We ask that you please consider your venue & class choice carefully at the time of enrolment. Should your circumstances change, we will make every effort to accommodate the change however, please note that our classes and venues do fill up and if a class is full we may not be able to accommodate any changes until the new semester.

We have between 9-14 students in our Junior classes and between 9-15 students in our Senior classes. Our class sizes are much smaller than traditional drama programs and school classrooms; and larger/more dynamic than tutoring style programs. These optimal class sizes means our students receive regular individual feedback whilst enabling both solo speaking with group performance opportunities, which result in stronger learning outcomes. We have a highly experienced & qualified teaching team that are skilled at teaching groups of children and who are well supported by the principal & area managers who also attend classes during the semester to support student development.

No. Super Speak is for everyone. This includes a whole range from shy to outgoing people. We have students who join the programme to help build confidence, students who join because they love performing, students who join because they love to speak in public and others who want to have fun and meet new friends.

Having parents sit in on the class can be distracting for some children and may prevent them from fully participating. For this reason, we do not permit parents, friends or family members in the class during lesson time. We ask that parents drop off their child and then pick up at the end of class. You will have the opportunity to be an audience member during your child’s end of semester parent class. If you have any concerns or queries about your child’s progress or behaviour, you can contact our office to discuss.

Enrolments are to be made for a minimum period of one semester (2 x terms) at our venues. Students can enrol at any time of the year and can pay pro rata for the remainder of the semester. We recommend that parents enrol their child with the intention of staying for at least one year in order to fully experience and participate in the range of public speaking & drama activities that have been designed to assist our students in becoming confident & competent speakers and communicators for life. Our curriculum has been designed so that a student can be enrolled for 10 years without repeating the same class.

For in-person venue group classes, we offer a sibling discount of 5% to families who enrol for a full semester with more than one child enrolled at the same time (applied after any other discounts are made). The discount only applies to the 2nd and 3rd child etc (not the first child). Sibling discounts are only available for full semester payments. Sibling discounts do not apply to pro-rata fees.

No. We recommend students wear clothes that allow them to move freely and which they are comfortable in. Many students come in their school uniforms as they attend class straight after school.

At certain times of the year, we offer a trial class if positions are available. If after trying a class your child is happy to continue, you can then proceed with enrolment.

Our classes are designed to increase confidence and self-esteem. We have had many parents and teachers comment on how much more confident the students have become after attending our classes for a semester or more. Our teachers are very supportive. They encourage students to work with each other, support one another, praise each other and work in an environment that is respectful, fun and friendly.
Every child will progress at their own rate, but generally after 12-18 months of classes increased confidence in public speaking becomes evident.

Our classes are suitable for students of all abilities and no past experience is necessary.

It is a requirement of enrolment that parents agree to pick up their child punctually at the end of their class. We ask parents to please consider this prior to enrolling their child.

Our teachers are required to remain with your child until they are safely collected. A charge of $1 per minute may be charged to you if you are more than 5 minutes late to collect your child.

We have plans to open Super Speak interstate in the near future so hope to open near you soon!
