Clint Bressler Public Speaking Teacher
No reviews yet

My name is Clint, I am a 27-year-old Public Speaking Teacher from Toronto, On. I have an intense passion for public speaking, especially well done public speaking, in academic settings. I am comfortable teaching at all grade and skill levels, especially younger students who can develop good public speaking habits early. My teaching style incorporates a mixture of concept teaching (Informal vs. formal tone, speaking with passion, confidence, vocabulary, debate, and different presentation styles), and skill instruction (Vocal quality, body language, gestures, poise, eye contact, and speech writing). Public speaking is a skill that takes extensive practice and direct instruction, a skill that can not be achieved through independent study alone. An early emphasis on conquering fear and instilling effective speech memorization habits results in students who can think on their feet and speak without reading from a script. Once the student and I have established a strong speaking foundation, we can move on to more advanced public speaking skills (debate, visual and auditory presentation aids, poetry, and much more). I look forward to teaching your students!

Experience

  • Toronto, ON (Apr, 2023–Aug, 2023) at Meritus Academy (formerly Olympiads)
    I was teaching Public Speaking Classes to students from Grade 5-8, covering topics such as debate, poetry, politics, confidence, fear, skill, and technique. Students would complete homework packages that consisted of 2 parts, the written portion which served to structure the student's speech and organize their thoughts, and the speaking portion, where students would present their speeches in front of the teacher and their peers. Students are graded on their level of preparation, the written content of their speech, their vocal quality, body language, poise and confidence, and elements of audience interaction. The student's grades serve to show their progress and highlight their individual strengths and weaknesses as public speakers. The course would culminate in a final showcase presentation in front of fellow students, students from other PS classes, friends and family. Students who excelled in the course or who had a fervent passion for Public Speaking could go on to enroll in specialized courses like debate, where they train to compete in organized provincial wide competitions. The purpose of this course is to give students the space and necessary instruction on Public Speaking to improve their skills and increase their self-worth and confidence overall. The curriculum teaches concepts like the distinctions between formal and informal tone, vocabulary expansion, literary devices, and speaking with passion, motivation, persuasion.
