About

Ever wanted to take part in extempore TEDx Talks? Ever wanted to improve your impromptu speaking skills?
Well, this is the series for you!
Hey everyone! I’m really excited to bring the third edition of my previous Extempore TEDxSchoohouse series, but with a little twist! Welcome to the Schoolhouse Extempore TEDx Talks 2.0  and Impromptu 101🎉!
In this series, we’ll start with the basics of impromptu/extempore speaking and then, we’ll  be having sessions where you will get the chance to test out and improve your skills in extempore talks as well as pick up tips to do well in speaking impromptu.
IMPROMPTU 101
In the first few sessions, we’ll be going through the basics of impromptu speaking and we’ll also go through some tips to be a good impromptu speaker to set ourselves up for success when you get the chance to speak! 
HOW EXTEMPORE TED TALKS WORK
In extempore TEDx Talks, you are randomly given a topic to speak on and given 60 seconds to gather your thoughts, after which you are given 4 minutes to speak along with an additional extra one minute if needed. But don’t worry, we won’t give you just 1 minute to think right from our first session. Since we also want to include beginners and help you improve your skills, we’ll start out with 3 minutes, and gradually decrease the thinking time until it reaches 1 minute.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
If you have vast experience in extempore talks and just want to brush up your skills and take part, or if you’re a complete beginner looking to start out, the series is for you! Anyone who’s interested can take part, regardless of your experience. If you’re a bit shy and worried about not doing well, don’t worry, we’re all here to learn and the only way we can learn is by practising!
Note: I have kept the sessions at times to accommodate as many time zones as I can. If the timings of the sessions don’t work for you, please let me know and I’ll try my best to host a session at a time that’ll work for you.

About the Tutor

Hey everyone! I am Hafsah, a high school sophomore from India, studying advanced courses well ahead of my age. I'm really passionate about anything related to maths, CS and science. In my free time, I love to read, ski, research on random topics that catch my interest, do some cooking and learn new languages. I've taken the Digital SAT, with a superscore of 1530 (750 R&W, 780 Math). I'm currently self-studying for AP Psychology, AP English Literature and Composition, AP World History, AP Environmental Science and AP Microeconomics. I'd be happy to help out with anything related to Math (from Pre-Algebra to Calculus), Science, Computer Science or SAT Prep. Excited to be a tutor here at schoolhouse, and I look forward to seeing you in my sessions!
