Who it's for
For parents of kids ages 5 to 17 who want a real coaching relationship instead of a one-off workshop. Whether your child freezes at show-and-tell or already loves the spotlight and wants polish, the coaching meets them where they are.
Why families choose TalkMaze
What makes it work
A real coaching relationship
The same coach every week, learning how your child thinks and what they are working toward. Progress builds because nobody has to start over.
Skills that transfer everywhere
Class presentations, interviews, standing up for an idea at the dinner table. Your child learns the underlying skill, so it holds up when the topic changes.
Confidence you can watch grow
Coaches track fillers, eye contact, structure, and delivery over time, so “be more confident” turns into specific things your child can actually do.
A curriculum built for kids
Six levels from Explorer to Legend, with real topics kids care about. Funny, game-based, and never a lecture.
TalkMaze is an online communication academy offering 1-on-1 public speaking and debate coaching for kids ages 5 to 17.
Founder Ghalia Aamer is a national debate competitor, TEDx speaker, and Princess Diana Award recipient, and every coach is trained on the method she built.
“My 10 year old went from 0 to 100 real quick. She loves her sessions and I see so much improvement.”
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What age can a child start public speaking classes?
Kids can start as early as age 5, and the highest-impact window is 9 to 12, when habits form fast and self-consciousness is still low. TalkMaze coaches ages 5 to 17 and adjusts the approach to each stage.
Are the classes 1-on-1 or group?
Every TalkMaze class is 1-on-1 with a dedicated coach. There is no hiding in a crowd and no waiting for a turn. The whole session is your child speaking, practicing, and getting feedback.
How long until we see a difference?
In our experience, confidence usually shifts first, often within the first month, while polished delivery takes three to six months of weekly practice. Every child is different, which is why the first session is a free assessment.
What happens in the free assessment?
A coach spends 30 minutes with your child, gauges their current level, talks through your goals, and recommends a starting point. No credit card, no commitment.
