Her expertise has made a huge difference in my son’s confidence , communication skills and speech . My son was able to win 2nd place in speech competition with the help of teacher Jeanne. Speech Academy Asia is a great platform for learning and gaining confidence in speech . Thank you Speech Academy Asia and thank you teacher Jeanne.

I would like to share my honest experience for those looking into Speech Academy, especially fellow parents. Please consider carefully before enrolling your child. 1.

In our case, I signed my son up for 48 lessons + 12 free = 60 sessions total. I regret signing up a package thinking that anyway my son has to take this course to improve his confidence, but, this is not true. This becomes a drag because you cannot get out of this course. 2. Lack of Tangible Progress: After around 15 sessions (~25% of the package), I began to feel concerned. The classes seemed more like general English sessions, involving some writing and script memorization, rather than focused public speaking or confidence-building exercises. As a parent, I didn’t see clear progress or any kind of structured deliverables. With subjects like Math or English, you can typically track progress via worksheets or tests. With Speech Academy, it's unclear how the written work directly builds public speaking skills. To be honest, I haven't seen meaningful improvements so far. 3. Report Cards vs. Real Feedback: Yes, they provide a 3-month report card—just like schools do—but schools also have regular classwork submissions that reflect ongoing development. If the materials and activities resemble those of an English class, then how is this different from sending my child to a regular English enrichment center? 4. Communication & Next Steps: I have had multiple chats with Brandon, and the current response is to "wait" until the presentation on May 25 to evaluate any changes. I am willing to keep an open mind until then, but I am cautious about whether this is just a way to delay addressing the concerns. 5. Final Thoughts: Based on what I have observed in the past few sessions, there has been little to no improvement. Frankly, I am feeling disheartened and questioning whether it’s worth continuing the remaining sessions. As a parent, it’s become a drag, and feels like a waste of both time and money. This is just my personal experience, but I hope it helps other parents make a more informed decision.

We’ve been with Speech Academy Asia for a few months now, and what really stood out to us from the start were the teachers. They are not only warm and... Read more start were the teachers. They are not only warm and approachable, but they also genuinely care about each child’s progress. Our child used to be really shy during presentations in school, but ever since joining the programme, we’ve seen a big difference in confidence and how they express themselves. Highly recommend to parents who want their child to grow in communication and public speaking!

I’ve heard so many good things about Speech Academy Asia from friends whose children are already enrolled in the programme. After chatting with my wife, we figured—if it’s working so... Read more After chatting with my wife, we figured—if it’s working so well for others, why should our child miss out on such essential skills? Typical Kiasu Singaporean Parents! We decided to give it a try, and we’ve been truly impressed. The free trial made it a no-risk decision, and I’d highly recommend it to any parent who wants to boost their child’s confidence and public speaking skills. Special shoutout to Mr. Din, the superstar Centre Manager, who goes above and beyond to take care of everything we need!

A male promoter approached me while I was waiting for my child to finish an enrichment class at Le Quest. When I tried to share my feedback—since my child had... Read more When I tried to share my feedback—since my child had attended their lessons before but didn’t continue—the promoter stopped me and said I should share my thoughts with the center, as he was just a promoter. By the way, the male promoter was wearing a pair of slippers, which seemed very unprofessional.
