About

Each week, we will learn one topic at a time to build on the fundamentals of public speaking. We will start the lesson by learning a new word of the day, doing tongue twisters, and then moving on to the main concept.
SERIES PLAN (by lesson):
1.) Introductions, the four divisions of speech, declamation practice
2.) Delving further into specific types of speeches and what division they fall under, intro to spontaneous speaking
3.) Impromptu speaking, presentation tips
4.) Original oratory speech

The rest is TBD! :)

Hello everyone! I am Luna, and I am thrilled to be joining the Schoolhouse community! I am a middle schooler who skipped a grade in math and wishes to bring my wealth of experience to the table by tutoring curious learners. I aspire to make the world a better place, and I believe that through accessible knowledge to each and every learner, we would be one step closer to making that dream a reality. Despite my age, I am a knowledgeable person and a natural leader who will be able to effectively help teach learners. I am available to tutor Reading & Writing, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Enrichment sessions. I look forward to meeting you!😄 (Also, here's a unique fact about me: I'm a doer. If you listened to Shonda Rhimes' speeches, you'd know what it means! 😉) ✨In my free time I...✨ - play piano & viola 🎹 - listen to music 🎶 - swim 🏊‍♀️ - play tennis 🎾 - read 📚 - debate 🎤 - draw/do art 🖼️ - design 💻 - make money 💵 - spend time with my family ❤️
