Where we fit
The best kind of coaching, at a price that makes sense
Private tutors charge $60 to $80 per class. Group programs run $30, but with up to 12 kids per coach. TalkMaze gives your child 1-on-1 coaching from $46 a class.
More attention than a group class, and less than a private tutor. Every session is built around your child specifically.
What your child gains
What your child actually walks away with
Speaking when it counts.
Class presentations, debate rounds, scholarship interviews, family speeches. The hardest speaking moments become as ordinary as a conversation at dinner.
The thinking behind the speaking.
Your child learns to break down complex problems, argue every side of an issue, and construct arguments that hold up. The same skills show up on report cards, in interviews, and in leadership roles later.
Pricing
Three plans, same coaching
Every plan is weekly 40-minute 1-on-1 classes with a vetted coach, full access to the Odyssey curriculum and rewards portal, and no hidden fees. Pick the commitment that fits. The longer the term, the lower the per-class rate.

The most-asked question at this price
Why can’t I just try 3 or 4 classes first?
Public speaking builds through consistency. Twelve classes is the shortest runway for a child to build the habit and see growth. Anything shorter tends to fizzle before the skills stick. The risk stays with us until week four:
Each term renews automatically. To stop renewal, give 30 days’ notice before your term ends. You keep access through any period you have already paid for. No cancellation fee.
Not sure which plan fits? In 30 minutes we will gauge your child’s level, talk through your goals, and recommend a starting point. No credit card, no pressure.

Every class earns more than progress
Beyond coaching, your child logs into a portal that turns every class into something they can see. They earn Miles for finishing classes, stamps as they hit milestones, and real rewards they actually spend.
Every class earns Miles.
25 Miles for every class finished, plus extra for completing quests their coach assigns.
A passport they actually fill.
Each milestone earns a stamp, named after a real place. Omar's first stamp is the Galápagos Islands.
Real rewards in your mailbox.
Miles buy real things: stickers, mugs, gift cards. We ship to your door.
Six levels to climb.
Explorer to Legend. Every 24 classes your child finishes, they earn the next level. Progress you can see, every month.
The curriculum
The six-stage journey
Six levels, each building on the last. Every 24 classes earns the next badge, a milestone your child can point to.
