Find Your Voice. Change Your Future.
Build the confidence and speaking skills that set you apart—in school, competitions, and life.
You know that feeling when you have something important to say, but nerves get in the way?
I'm here to change that.
Whether you're preparing for a competition, a class presentation, or you want to feel more confident speaking up—I've helped dozens of young people discover they're actually brilliant speakers.
You can be next.
I'm an Oracy Lead, mentor, and vocal performance coach. I've worked with students just like you through the Aseeder (China), English-Speaking Union and school programs across the UK.
I know what it takes to go from nervous to confident. And I can show you how.
Students who work with me
Develop confidence that feels real — Not fake positivity. This is knowing you can handle all speaking situations.
Learn winning techniques — Effectively use the tools professional speakers use: eg., emphasis, pacing, presence, storytelling.
Become competition ready — Whether it's school debates or public speaking competitions, you'll have the skills and mindset to shine.
Speak up in class, in interviews, in life — The confidence you build here transfers everywhere.
Why I Do This
The reason I do this work is simple: I remember being nervous about speaking. I know what it feels like to doubt yourself.
What I also know is that confidence is learnable. I've watched it happen hundreds of times—in Toastmasters, in schools, in competitions. Young people who felt terrified discovering they're actually brilliant speakers.
As an Oracy Lead with the English Speaking Union, I work across the UK helping young people find their voices. I genuinely believe your voice matters.
My job is to help you believe it too.
Your Path to Speaking Confidence
Group Workshops
Perfect if you want to learn alongside peers in a fun, high-energy environment. I deliver workshops on public speaking, voice, presence, and confidence-building—tailored to your school or group. These workshops are interactive; you'll practice immediately, and you'll leave with actual skills you can use.
1:1 Mentoring
Do you prefer to recieve personalised coaching? We will work together on your specific challenges—whether it's managing nerves, developing your speaking style, or preparing for a competition. After mentoring numerous speakers privately and through Toastmasters and the English-Speaking Union, I know how to build genuine confidence.
Self-Paced Learning
Can't meet in person? My online course Fall In Love With Your Voice teaches the fundamentals of vocal confidence, authenticity, and presence at your own pace. Perfect if you want to start before booking a workshop or coaching.
