Who it's for
For New York families who want a real coaching relationship instead of a one-off workshop. Across the five boroughs and the tri-state suburbs, NYC families skip the crosstown commute entirely. Coaching is fully online, so your child gets individual attention from home that a group class cannot match.
Why families choose TalkMaze
What makes it work
A dedicated coach, no commute
The same coach every week over live video. New York families skip the drive and get steadier progress from real continuity.
Built for what New York kids face
From specialized-high-school interviews to presentation-heavy independent schools, New York students speak in high-stakes rooms early. We coach the exact skills those moments reward: a clear structure, calm delivery, and thinking on your feet.
Scheduling that fits your week
Sessions run on Eastern Time, with plenty of weeknight and weekend options. You pick slots that work around school and activities.
Individual attention a group can’t match
Because it is 1-on-1, every minute is your child practicing and getting feedback, not waiting for a turn.
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 9 year old loves the lessons. He often had difficulty articulating ideas but now is more confident.”
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
