Who it's for

Coaching is fully online, so your child gets individual attention from home that a group class cannot match.

What makes it work
A dedicated coach, no commute
The same coach every week over live video. Washington DC families skip the drive and get steadier progress from real continuity.
Built for what Washington DC kids face

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.
